Cruise Day 1 - 2012-03-19

An early morning drive to Newark to catch the 7:30 flight to St. Thomas. The security line was long but that is to be expected. At the gate we met Monika & David and a few minutes later Sorin & Noun joined us.

At St. Thomas we were met by the captain of the yacht and arrived at it after a short drive. It's beautiful to see from the outside and breath taking once you step on board - amazing decor, art, flowers.... Beautiful cabins with the most exquisite furnishings and the nicest, friendliest staff.

We spent a couple of hours exploring all the nooks and crannies and having drinks and snacks on deck until the rest of the party arrived. We had a wonderful lunch on deck and in the meantime made our way to St. John. We moored in the bay and split up. Some people went snorkeling and swimming (including Avi) and the rest went on shore for a short hike to an abandoned sugar cane mill and on through a tropical forest to see some piroglyphs (1000 year old rock drawings).

Avi is catching up on his missed sleep and we'll have dinner in an hour - this time in the dining room and the table looks gorgeous already!
