Also appreciated your update on Crown Point!

Now that you've toured the island, what would you like to do the next time you're in St.Thomas?

Well, I would like to do more shopping there that's for sure, LOL. The prices there were really good. I would love to go to one of the beautiful beaches and I would also like to sail to St. John. I think that means I have to go three more times to get that all done doesn't it? What a shame!!

That's a Poui Tree. They have different color flowers, like yellow, orange, pink, red etc. There are many Poui Trees in the Caribbean. I remember when I was living in Trinidad and seeing them in bloom.

Yes, the Poinciana Trees have orange and red flowers too, but the leaves are different, and if I remember correctly, the tree is much larger too.

Yes, the prices in St Thomas are really good. Janet, if you think the beaches in St Thomas are nice(and they are) wait till you go to St Johns, they're even better. Most of St Johns is a National Park, and every thing there is beautiful, vacation resorts and all.
Very nice photos Janet, I always love going to the V. Islands
