Back From St Thomas

Carol and I got back yesterday from our annual 2 week stay in St Thomas. It was great time and we got to see some friends we have not seen for several years. However, in the past 8 weeks we have been away for 6 of the weeks! We both are glad to be home so we can get back into the routine here in Riverwalk.
Naturally we had some pool time, Carol got some shopping time and I got enough SCUBA as you will see in another post.  One of fun places we eat at is the Room With a View since they have $5.00 wine and appetizers at the bar from 5 - 7 PM.
 
The appetizers are large enough that one is like having dinner for Carol or I. If it isn't large enough you can always order an additional one!!
During the second week, we got to visit with friends that have not seen for several years at St Thomas. It was a good reunion and we all went out to dinner at Iggies at Bolongo Bay.

Here are Steve and Shelly Berman with us at Iggies. We sat at a table right next to the entertainer for the evening and when he started playing it hampered the conversation considerably.
On Thursday, while I was SCUBA diving, Carol was taking another walk downtown and tripped over a speed bump in a parking lot and fell. She skinned her left knee quite a bit and also put lesser scrapes and bruises on her right knee and elbows. Thank goodness she did not break any bones or do any more serious damage.
When I finished my dive I called her, as usual, and found out about her accident. Rather than walking back to the condo she stayed at a shopping area and I picked her up on my way back.
On Saturday we caught our early flight to Miami and arrived early, about 11 AM, picked up our car, got gas and headed back home. On the way home we stopped for about 2 hours and visited my college classmate in Naples. It made a  nice break for the drive. Jim and Nancy are going on a cruise with us in January so we had some time to talk about that. It will be their first cruise and they are looking forward to the experience.
It sure was nice getting in bed and sleeping with my own pillow. We both slept very well!
