When I stayed I found a place that had a bar be que every Sunday right on a coconut palm lined beach, 'Kathy's Fancy". I wonder if they still do that now? It was great, swim and eat, rest under a palm tree, very nice.
There are many as I returned yearly for a long time. I guess watching the Rashtamen cutting coconuts from the tall palm trees at Pelican Cove and then opening them for my children was a thing to remember. Leave a Comment

New Years at Foxies BVI.
The nice thing about living in the VI is the boat trips to other Islands: Sandy Key, Norman Island, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda...
You can walk around the entire Island of Sandy Key in Five minutes, Jump Naked of the "Willy T" and recieve a free tee shirt, Go visit with Foxie on Jost Van Dyke at New Years for the wildest party in the world then calm your head with a painkiller from the Soggy Dollar but your gunna have to swim for it, or to just relax in the baths on Virgin Gorda and what ever you do -- do not forget your mask & snorkle.
If you do make it to St Thomas the one trip that you must take is the Eco-tour guided Kayak trip through the only remaining VI mangrove lagoon.
Most of the People are brutily Honest and freindly and they look out for each other
your never homeless or with out food or drink in the Islands
Unless your a psycotic crackhead freek who speaks in tungs to the lamp post, strips off all your clothes and takes a stroll down the water front.
Then no one will want to go near you!!
Back to the question of ---
My fondest memories in St Thomas have to be:
1. the photo shoot at sunrise on Saphire Beach with my best freind Brooks
2. The drum circles and camping trips to Neltyberg and Stumpy
3. The shooting star that fell from the sky out of the big dipper as My freind Amber and I stood ankle deep in the waves at Hull Bay saying goodbye to our Freind Chris Adams. Leave a Comment

Dancing on the ship was fun while it was rocking back & forth. Fortunately, all the old
people were on a different part of the ship that night, so we got to take over the Nightclub. The DJ played all my cd's I brought down from my cabin. We got to dance
to Iggy Pop while the ship swayed back and forth!! The waiters brought us Greyhounds and I danced all night!!!! Leave a Comment

Trunk Bay is a gorgeous expanse of white sand beach that you usually have to get to
by a bus tour. There is an underwater snorkel trail that you can follow that's kind of
like a hiking trail with markers and explanations. I think it's one of the largest in the
carribean. Leave a Comment

In St. John, rent a car and snorkel gear for a day, drive to the the most beautiful beaches you'll ever see and frolic in the crystal blue waters of Cinnamon Bay, Trunk Bay, and Waterlemon Cay.
I really enjoyed snorkeling in the waters of Cinnamon Bay. The water was very warm and serene and had excellent visibility. Can you see the turtle in this photo?! Leave a Comment

YOu have to try atleast some of the water sports when you're there. All of these activities can be found at the various resorts.
Here are some to try:
scuba diving, snorkeling, parasailing, windsurfing, deep sea fishing, kayaking, biking - yeah they have those dorky ones with the big wheels that go in the water. The only thing I don't suggest is Jet Skiing. They're loud and they destroy the marine life. Leave a Comment

The sunsets at sea are spectacular. Photos really cannot capture the feeling you get
when you witness the sun going down firsthand while on the stern or bow of a ship. Leave a Comment

Day sailing trip with Captain Neil Newhard of the 'Hirondelle.' He told the best stories. My b-friend, Chuck, and another sailor, Eileen, are enjoying the relaxing ride toward Jost Van Dyke of the British Virgin Islands. Leave a Comment

Best of St.John: All the stunning beaches (Hawksnest, Solomon, Jumpy, Lameshur and Honeymoon) swimming, snorkeling, hiking the National Park's trails, camping at Cinnamon Bay Campground, a day trip to Joste Van Dyke to hear Foxy sing at his resturant, a drive to the East End to eat Vie's garlic chicken and Johnny cake and a beer at Woody's.

Go to St. Thomas island and see the most beautiful beach in the world-Magens Bay. The best view you can get is on the mountaintop, which claims to be the spot where banana daiquiris were created. There you can enjoy the unbelievable, spectacular view of Magens Bay 1,500 feet below, that you can't see anywhere else.
I loved Virgin Islands a lot. And got to spend some time there. I just love the feeling that I get when I'm there, very relaxing feeling. It just feels like I died and went to heaven. Leave a Comment
