Luxury @ Sea - Visting St. John, USVI

This morning we took a small motor boat called a tender from the Sea Dream to St. John. We walked up and down many of the city streets finding a thriving community. In a street market I had a wonderful conversation with one of the merchants. She had moved to St. John from New York City about three years ago. She loved her escape.

After exploring the town we grabbed a local bus that took us to a World Famous Trunk Bay. There is a fee to go onto this beach but let me tell you it is worth it! There is a huge reef that is beautiful and I'm sure would have been awesome snorkeling. Unfortunately we had moved into an area with sporadic showers and the the San Diego girls wouldn't go into the water. So we laid out for a bit on the beach (when it wasn't raining), had lunch at the little beach shack and headed back to our sanctuary, The Sea Dream. When the beach bus dropped us off back by the tender there was a Sea Dream staff member waiting at a shaded table with light snacks and cold water for us. We waited about 5 minutes, then our tender took us back. We enjoyed the rest of the evening upstairs at the top of the ship lounge. Where we would end up spending most of our evenings.
