Getting to St. John

Our plane was supposed to leave the Dulles airport at 9:45 this morning. We were supposed to land on St. Thomas at 1:30 this afternoon. Then, after securing our rental car, we were supposed to get to our St. John villa by dinner time.

Did any of that happen? Nope.

Our flight was delayed seven and a half hours. We spent the afternoon in the airport, reading books and magazines, listening to music on Kat's laptop and snacking on Starbucks food. When the plane finally took off at 4:15, we could hardly believe it.

But the adventure wasn't over, yet. After catching the 8:00 p.m. ferry from St. Thomas to St. John, we found our rental car had a dead battery. The rental company was closed, so the owner of our villa came to the rescue. She picked us up at 10:00 and made the 30-minute drive across the island to the house. Upon arriving at the house, we all dropped dead.
