Bluebeard’s Castle Arrival

Wow, we got a fine room at the Marriott. We got a room at the section called Morning Star. It is right on the beach and we spent most of our time under an umbrella on the beach reading and snoozing. I did go snorkeling some and took some pictures of the stuff I saw. It was a little tough getting good pictures because of the surge of the surf and it was tough seeing the picture-to-be in the display of the camera. I did see some squid and got a few good shots of them.

Last year Carol won a buy-one-get-one-free “Swim with the dolphins” at Tortola in the British VI. She called and got us an appointment for Monday. Sounds like it will be fun.

They had a cocktail party Friday evening and of course we took them up on their margaritas and snacks. They were trying to get people interested in their very nice timeshare which of course was of no interest to us.

On Saturday morning I went to the airport and picked up or rental car ….. It turned our to be a Jeep and is the best car I ever had in St Thomas!! Went back to Morningstar and checked out and then we stopped at Havensight to do a little shopping. I could not resist a new underwater camera that I feel will be easier to use underwater.

We then went to Bluebeards Castle about noon and lo and behold our room was ready to check in to. After unloading the car and getting set up in the room we went to the airport to pick up Hank, the fellow who bought our timeshares. He also brought his brother with him. On the way to the Beachclub where they are staying, we stopped and did grocery shopping. After dropping them at the Beachclub we came back to the Castle. We had a very light dinner in the room and watched the one ship depart.

Tomorrow we will go to the beach club and loaf at the beach.
