On my way-travel day 1
24 oktober 2023, Verenigde Staten
Took the train (which was four hours late) to Chicago. Walked to the blue line and took the blue line to the airport to my hotel! Hoping for a bit of sleep before waking up early for my flight to St. Croix!Meer informatie

Day 2-travel and arrival to St. Croix
25 oktober 2023, Amerikaanse Maagdeneilanden ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
After getting about three hours of sleep, I woke up at 2 AM to head to the airport. Both flights went flawlessly. I absolutely love airports and flying, and everything about travel. Arriving at the airport in St. Croix was super easy, and my little rental car agency had a sign with my name on it and my car was about 20 yards away. The trickiest part of the whole day was having to drive in the left side of the road! I am proud to say that I did it successfully. I stopped for groceries, which range from average price of o crazy expensive. Many things were normally priced, but a frozen pizza started at $14 and other items were equally pricey!Meer informatie

Frederiksted
25 oktober 2023, Amerikaanse Maagdeneilanden ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
I couldn’t quite check into my Airbnb yet, so I explored a bit of the town. I got to see the beautiful pier and stopped to eat at one of the great restaurants on the beach. I had the fresh caught wahoo blackened sandwich, and it was amazing. I got to check in and this place has everything I could ask for. Just tons of open windows overlooking the beach. And I am right on the water. I fell asleep to the waves crashing and even got to see a little bit of lightning. My dream come true.Meer informatie

Day 3-enjoying the beach
26 oktober 2023, Amerikaanse Maagdeneilanden ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
The Airbnb is right on the beach and my favorite thing to do is to wake up in the morning and walk along the beach as far as I can go. It was a beautiful day for that. I got to swim and explore more later when it started to rain, so I just sat on the beach in the warm rain and enjoyed it.Meer informatie

The best part
26 oktober 2023, Amerikaanse Maagdeneilanden ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
If you know me, you know that I miss my Kmart that used to be in my neighborhood. So do some of my friends and my mother. St croix is one of the few places left that still has one so of course I made a stop since it was barely out of my way. It was like stepping back to the good old days, and I am sad to say I spent almost an hour there.Meer informatie

Christiansted
26 oktober 2023, Amerikaanse Maagdeneilanden ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
Christiansted is the main city on the north of the island. It is the main port city, and actually where Alexander Hamilton grew up. I stopped by on my driving tour and explored the downtown and the boardwalk a bit. It was beautiful, but I think I enjoyed the West Coast of the island more because it’s less touristy.Meer informatie

Driving around the island
26 oktober 2023, Amerikaanse Maagdeneilanden ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
The island is so small that you can drive across it from east to west in less than an hour. Today I once again practice my driving on the left skills. I am shocked that I did not make any mistakes especially when turning. Driving here is wild, so many potholes and people will randomly stop to let, anyone and everyone pull out of a driveway or a store. There’s also honking all the time. I read that people honk to tell people that they are letting them in, they honk to ask to be let in, they honk to say hi to somebody that they see, and they honk when they approach any sort of intersection to let people know they’re coming. The first few times I thought I did something wrong, but then I started to catch on, and even started honking myself! I drove up through the rainforest a little bit. Google maps gets very confused here so I had to use my savvy map skills to make sure I didn’t get lost.Meer informatie

Massage and good food and beaches!
27 oktober 2023, Amerikaanse Maagdeneilanden ⋅ 🌧 29 °C
For my birthday Will surprised me with the gift certificate to get a massage when I was on my trip. Today I got to cash that in in the cutest little spa in downtown Christiansted . I thoroughly enjoyed myself and left feeling even more relaxed before. I headed to rainbow Beach where I enjoyed some swimming and some mahi-mahi tacos on the beach. I hung out on my Airbnb Beach after that and then checked out a great spot to try some of the local roti and pate. roti is like a doughy tortilla/naan type thing that has slow cooked meat and potatoes and veggies to fill it. Almost like a Caribbean burrito but so much better. I got mine with curried beef that was so tender and melted in your mouth. I also tried the saltfish pate, because all of the people who are local say you have to try it. SaltFish isn’t my favorite, but the roti made up for it! It also weighed about 5 pounds and will last me another three meals. The lady who runs the place calls herself the roti master, and I can see why. Amazing! She was so sweet and even gave me some extras!Meer informatie

My airbnb
27 oktober 2023, Amerikaanse Maagdeneilanden ⋅ 🌧 29 °C
Nothing is better than waking up at sunrise and walking the beach. If you know me on vacation, you know that that is my favorite thing to do! I have found my perfect spot on this beach and like to put my beach chair right into the waves and read my kindle or just relax. Which also, if you know me is not a normal thing that I do!Meer informatie

Farmers market and botanical gardens
28 oktober 2023, Amerikaanse Maagdeneilanden ⋅ 🌧 28 °C
I love me a good farmers market. The market in St. Croix was the best I’ve ever been to! So many vendors, and I got some really cool, souvenirs and homemade goods to bring home. Then I went to the botanical gardens, which was beautiful. It was set on the land of an old sugar plantation. It was very interesting and angering to learn about the history of the land. St croix was built on the backs of slaves and was owned by seven different countries over its history. During my walk, I got to see a lot of how the plantation was back in the day. It was quite the juxtaposition of the beautiful new nature and plant life set on the grounds of some awful US history.Meer informatie
