Old pictures of St. John

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

Here are some old pictures from our time in the US Virgin Islands. These are from St. John… this is back with a different camera and I could not quite get the quality I would have liked, but oh well… they are still not bad.

When we were there, we stayed at Caneel Bay, which is one of the Rosewood Properties. It was a very nice place and we had our own hut down on the beach. The worst thing about the trip was we had a diabetic driver that worked for Rosewood and he had an seizure WHILE he was driving us around the island and ran off the road into the jungle. We were lucky nobody was killed, actually. Afterwards, Rosewood management did nothing for us… can you believe it? Totally ignored! We’re not even the type to complain, but comon…

Snorkeling in St. Kitts

Saturday, August 27th, 2005

I took a small boat over to St. Kitts today to do some snorkeling. It was pretty decent, although I have had considerably better on other Caribbean islands. I almost caught a lobster but it was too fast for me. I did grab a nice conch shell… I’ll get a picture of it after I use some acid to clean off all the gunk. It’s not a perfect specimen, but it does have some unique colors.

Here is a picture of me returning from the snorkeling trip. I am the white dude on the right.

Nevis

Here is a picture of the Nevis volcano from the channel that connects the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean. This is the same place I saw a giant sea turtle but it did not stay surfaced long enough for me to grab a pic.

Yes, this is a real picture that I took outside of my villa. Isn’t that a wacky looking X-Files appendage?

Never too old for Batman

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

It is so damned hot down here in Nevis that you can’t go more than five minutes outside before breaking into a sweat. I very quickly ran out of shirts and ended up wearing my Batman shirt I wear to bed with my son. We looked totally cool running around the resort together in our Batman outfits. The Four Seasons tends to attract a lot of couples like Thurston and Lovey Howell III, and they always look aghast when they see us running around the beach pretending to fight crime. (not kidding)
