Trip to St. Thomas

The Dulcan family (Nancy[39], Matt [21], Alex[18], and Alvin[39]) took a trip to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands from June 19-19, 2011. We stayed in a fabulous Villa on Flag Hill, just east of Charlotte Amalie, the largest town. We found out about Villa Sunset on VRBO, http://www.vrbo.com/256143.

We picked up a Dodge SUV at the airport and followed the Property manager, Ron. It wasn't so hard to drive on the left, when we were following him. But it was strange that the steering wheel was on the left. The whole week Alvin was saying to Nancy, "Is it clear on the left?" Nancy would say "Go now!"

Barefoot Buddha

They do not have their own web site, but a google search, Barefoot Buddha USVI, reveals the reviews. This was our restaurant away from home. We ate their 4 times in the 10 days, and it was a relief to go there when we were tired and hungry. We parked across the street, near the grocery store (Gourmet something,our second favorite) between the Havensight Mall and Point of Sale Mall, just before you get to the K-Mart turn-off if you are going clockwise. We did not know about bialys before we walked in, but they were great, and the bagel sandwiches, too. Nancy bought a beautiful dress there (although we found it later in the open market for half of the price).
