Sorry for this being a little late getting this out, I’ve been so busy since getting back from vacation with Christmas and work.
Our trip started out with a couple of nights on St. Thomas. We stayed at the Best Western Emerald Beach. We really like it there. They have always treated us well and the food is very good. We also like the patio bar by the beach.
Finally we were on our way to the Westin on Sunday. It felt good to be back, Mel and I just celebrated our one year anniversary on Oct. 20th. Our first year of marriage was a rocky one because of the stock market loss and housing situation. We endured and we could not wait to take our vacation and get away from everything at home. I’m sure a lot of people were rethinking spending money on traveling, we would have too, but since we have to pay for the Timeshare we had to go.
Our first day out, we visited Francis Bay, right off the bat, Mel photographs a shark, not a little one but a six foot nurse shark. We had a little photo contest going on and he won. He was so excited that he screamed shark while everyone was snorkeling. It was pretty funny.
This is the first time we didn’t even go to Coral Bay, the week just seemed to go by so fast.Monday we went to Francis Bay
Tuesday, we went to Jumbie and Maho
Wednesday went to Cinnamon Bay 
Thursday we went to Jost, Tortola, and snorkeled Waterlemon. with Brenda, Gary and St. John Mike
Friday met Gary and Brenda at Maho.
Snorkeling Waterlemon with Mel and Gary. We had a great time and saw our only turtle of the week there, I had to fight off Gary and Mel to get my shots, I swear it was like being in Washington with other photographers fighting for the shot. We called it turle paparazzi.
It was a great week and of course it went by way too fast.
