Eddie and I had the opportunity the first week of December to go on a cruise togethter just the two of us. Yes we left Sadie with grandma and grandpa this was extremely hard for us until about the 2nd day into the trip and then we realized how relaxing it was not chasing a toddler around although we did miss her very much!!! Grandma and Grandpa had fun with her and spoiled her every second in fact she hardly wanted mom and dad when we got home. We had a great trip but it was also very interesting as soon as we got on the plane in SLC it had maintanance problems and I was holding back my tears and Eddie kept saying we are going to miss our cruise. Finally our plane started working and we flew to Cincinatti know that we had already missed our cruise. When we got there Delta worked it out that we would stay in cincinatti one night and then fly us to St. Thomas which was our first port in 2 days so that meant we got fly and stay in St. Thomas on the beach for two day on deltas dime and they also gave us great amounts of money to use on food. We had 2 different hotel the first was junk and the 2nd was right on the beach we requested a change after the 1st night in the hole in the wall.





This was paradise now we were at the most wonderful hotel and had two full days of living it up on the beach and all food and hotel was on Delta's expense! Our room looked over the ocean on Lindstrom bay it was close to the airport but the noise never was bothersome. I loved St. Thomas!

Looking down onto Megan's Bay. The taxi driver stopped for a photo shoot and this was the only one of about 20 pics he took that actually turned out!


Megan's Bay a relaxing very calm beach. There was lots of people but we were able to find our own space. We got in the water and stayed a couple of hour until we had been eaten alive by bugs!



This was our first crummy hotel that was literally around the corner from the airport we walked with our luggage. The hotel room stunk there was a drawer full of yucky bugs and we wanted out!! We were still happy we were on vacation in St. Thomas!!!
