It was the only way to enter a NEW YEAR!  After gray and cold days up north we spent a week on the St. John Virgin Island.  This was paradise - perfect weather, landscapes and great company (I was with my husband Dan).  It has a coral reef around the island making it great for snorkling and I saw a sting ray fish come up to the beach where a pelican was hanging out.  It was a very relaxing time and the island had a quality of "Don't Worry just Be Happy."  YES - not a care in the world.  

One of the highlights was taking a Sunset Cruise and experiencing the beauty of the sun going down and the stars and lights going on in the darkness of the night.  I loved the sail boat with the US flag up above.   The shopping in the city of San Cruz with their free standing booths allowed us to get some gifts to take home.

To sum up the end of 2014 we hiked to the end of the island up on the mountain's ledge.  It was a windy place, but what a view!!

There is so much more to do, but we will return soon (I hope).  Great time with wonderful memories!
