Hi everyone! I decided to do a few quick posts over the next couple days about my vacation to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I hope you enjoy them.
This vacation actually began to take shape back in November 2015 when my parents expressed a desire to take their three adult children and all their families, 16 people in all, on a trip before their health wouldn't allow it. My two older sisters took charge of planning, originally, a cruise to the Caribbean was chosen for the all-inclusive aspects. In the middle of December, though, my mother had a stroke and things were sketchy for several months.
Health improves!
By March 2016 my mother's health improved, but stability was still poor and walking a cruise ship at sea didn't sound like a wise choice so the cruise was cancelled. More research and staying in St. Thomas seemed feasible by renting a beautiful 6-bedroom home and a cottage overlooking Magens Bay.
