While the DJ from the Offshore bar rocked it with a sick set of
electronic music we enjoyed the view…

The Rising Sun spotted in port in St. Thomas, it makes the others huge yachts look like toys.

After being on the island of St. Thomas for about three weeks I’ve
determined that I heart KMart. Why would I enjoy a low rate
department store so much? It’s the only place on the island where you
can pretend you’re back in civilization, if only for a few minutes.
While there are the normal upscale tourist diamond, jewelry, and
clothing shops, that’s really about all that’s available for shopping
except for KMart. Need shorts? sandals or any other beach neccesity?
KMart. They even have a bake sale out front most times.As an aside so far the only sunscreen I’ve found is ‘Panama Jack’
ehich only comes in a spray can that spits out dubious sunscreen at 10
degrees below zero.

I recently had to make my escape to St. Thomas (for a week). After a quick stop in San Juan to pick up some rum a colleague and I waited for our plane to St. Thomas. After waiting for our plane for a bit, I joked to the attendant “are we the only ones on the flight today”.. ha-ha. Joke was on me, witness our puddle jumper:

Luckily my laptop fit in the wing

Here’s my seat– no, I didn’t help fly

But the hotel made up for it

Paul Van Dyk laid down an amazing set this past weekend in Central
Park. Check out the huge disco ball that was suspended by a crane.
