Good-bye St. Croix - Hello St. Thomas

We left St. Croix at 11:30 AM via the seaplane. It was the first seaplane flight for us. No security to go through! 2 pilots and 7 passengers were on the plane for the 18 minute flight.

We took the $2 Safari bus to our condo, Sapphire Village. 

The locals told us to get off at the wrong spot! The housekeeper of our unit came to get us when we called for further directions. We were very close. Below are some photos of our new home for the next three weeks.

After unpacking, we took another Safari bus into Red Hook and ate at Texas Pit BBQ, fast food spot. 
We shared the pork, beef, and chicken BBQ plate that came with potato salad, seasoned rice, and roll.
