The End of the Good Life!!

We're famous!! Well, not really, but our picture from the Halloween party was in the St. Croix Avis newspaper! We went to one of the annual Halloween parties with our new friends L & B, and it was so much fun! Some really creative and interesting costumes. Definitely a must do for next year!



H finally made it to Puerto Rico for some retail therapy. She shopped 'til she dropped at the largest mall in the Caribbean. We had a blast and H is ready to make that their next move. Well, maybe if we knew a little more Spanish, but she did really like it! We also spent some time with R's boss and his family. It was fun getting to know them a little better. The boss's wife even took H on another shopping adventure. We tried visiting the old Fort in San Juan, but got caught in the rain, so we didn't get to see much of it. It is quite impressive and something we will have to do when we return.



Our time in temporary quarters is sadly coming to an end. We moved from our first villa into another villa (http://www.vacationstcroix.com/CasaDelMar/Casa_Del_Mar.html) for our last month. We are enjoying the new place for a few more weeks before we move into our condo on December 1.

Our belongings from our sea shipment were delivered Friday, and we spent the day unpacking and putting things away. We are thankful this is our last move for a couple of years. R leaves town on December 1 which is actually our move-in date, so we wanted to get things moved in early so H wouldn't have much to do by herself. We met the owner of the condo we are renting last week, who is from London. He came to pack up a few things before we move in. We had a nice lunch with him and found out that he is moving to Plano!! What are the odds? Such a small world. We will post pics of the condo when we get moved in.

R decided to go on a lobster hunt yesterday. Last week he snorkeled out the back door and saw a lobster, he has been determined to catch one ever since. Yesterday, one of his friends came over with a lobster snare, and the hunt was on. He was successful on his first try! Even though the lobster wasn't that large, we did cook it and H had it for dinner!

Finally, we want to remind everyone that we are TWO hours ahead of Central Time as the Caribbean does not do daylight savings! The worst part of the time zone is that television shows come on REALLY late!
