Sean surprised me with a quick get away to St. Thomas! Wednesday night he booked a flight that left at 7am then next morning .. I packed the bare essentials (swimsuit, sunscreen, camera, laptop & clothes for the trip home) and we headed to St. Thomas for a day in the sun. We made it to St. Thomas around 11am, rented a Jeep .. and drove down the coast to find a place to stay. The tricky thing about driving in St. Thomas .. is that they DRIVE ON THE LEFT!!! The really weird thing about driving there .. is that their drivers are on the left .. and they drive on the left .. so like your passenger side is up against (or more often, crossing over) the double yellow line .. in Europe drivers sit on the opposite side, just like in the US .. but St. Thomas had to go make things difficult and use US cars! Anyways .. driving through curvy steep hills .. with natives going 50 mph, when I`m barely comfortable going over 20 .. was such a crazy experience. We drove off down the coast looking for a place to stay, finally finding Bluebeard`s Beach Club. We booked a room, threw on our bathing suits and headed out into the ocean. After a quick splash, we headed into the pool and swam up to the pool bar. Around the pool giant iguanas were hanging out .. warming up .. and hoping somebody would drop a yummy piece of lettuce for them. They were soo neat! Not afraid of humans at all. Sean even fed one a french fry! I had the best chicken philly there. After a few hours in the sun and water .. we were both ready for a nap. I ended up waking up around 7ish and managed to snap some pictures .. but by then all of the iguanas had gone to bed. The next morning we were up early .. caught our flight (after a short delay at the customs counter .. who knew that you can get into St. Thomas without a passport .. but you need one to leave .. heh), and headed home.

Such a short trip, just to get a taste of St. Thomas .. I`m sure we`ll be back for more one day
