It feels like I was dropped into a different planet. Driving on the left side of the road, no problem. But here the steering wheel is on the left also. What a trip trying to drive the roads here andBaca lagi

PengembaraFor the record, I drove a bit yesterday and, after the mental jolt of passing the first car on the “wrong” side, it wasn’t too bad. Must be all of Donny’s Irish driving hardwiring with the wheel on the right that’s weirding him out. 😱

Yesterday we said goodbye to Christiansted and drove across the island to the West side. The long arduous trip of thirteen miles. We setup camp in a nice oddly furnished condo by the beach about aBaca lagi

Here goes. We have to be out of the condo in Bradenton by Dec 23rd. We were planning on driving back to Seattle then. Perhaps stopping off to see the lads and ladies in Dallas along the way. ThenBaca lagi

Back! Hey, had a grand time on the USVI’s. The time went by so fast. I think the last time I chimed we were in Christiansted. Or had just moved across the island to Frederiksted.
