St. John Virgin Island

Sadly our trip to St. John is over. Our quick four night stay in the tropical paradise was much needed rest and relaxation on some very beautiful beaches. We visited some famous beaches, including Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Magens Bay. We did some snorkeling in Trunk Bay which was fun but we have to say that the snorkeling in Hawaii was much better.

We flew into St. Thomas where we rented a Jeep and took the ferry over to St. John. There isn't an airport on St. John because there is not enough flat ground for a runway. We stayed three nights on St. John where we spent our days laying on the beach, snorkeling and doings a couple of hikes. The roads were a lot of fun to drive on, narrow, winding and very steep in places. Not to mention that we had to drive on the left side of the road but the speed limit was only 20 miles a hour on the whole island, so even if we had hit someone we wouldn't have done much damage. The island itself is not very big, 10 miles east to west and 4 miles north to south. So we had little problem seeing the whole island during the three days that we were there. For our last night stayed on St. Thomas so we could catch our flight early Sunday morning. Of the two islands we liked St. John better, it was not as populated and didn't seem like such a tourist trap.

We didn't get a ton of pictures because we were having camera issues. But that may not be such a bad thing because I am not liking pictures of myself in a swimming suit right now. The residual baby pounds and flab have got to go.
