For Fall Break we were able to go to the US Virgin Islands for a few days. We drove to Las Vegas and Wed. Oct 19 and caught a flight at midnight to JFK, then to San Juan and finally to St. Thomas. The water was so clear and warm. I finally figured out how to enjoy snorkeling. Don't use a snorkel! I wore fins and goggles and just swam around and I loved it. We all had so much fun. The weather was amazing. Our hotel was way off the beaten bath and a little scary, but for $100 a night, it was all we needed. The owner was super nice. I was surprised by how expensive everything was. I don't know how people that are so poor can afford to live there. My favorite beach was Trunk Bay on St. John's. On our last day we went back to Megan's Bay on St. Thomas and saw a sea turtle while we were snorkeling. That was a first. We also went to church there. I'm glad I don't live there.
