First blog now since we first left bright and early friday morning. Stopped to change planes in San Juan first then got onto my first prop plane ever and flew over Puerto Rico and then a short flight and a smooth touchdown and we were in St. Croix. They greeted us nicely by giving away a free shoot of a Cruzan rum flavor. After getting the rental vehicles and packing the luggage in them we headed out to Cottages by the Sea and the refuge were we would be staying. It is incredible, the weather is nice with bright skies and beautiful water that is the perfect temperature.
