The thing that stands out the most for us about 2010 was the amazing number of people we had the pleasure of meeting up with. Friends, old and new, and family. The best way to summarize it is with photos. We’re so very blessed to have you along for the adventure. Thank you for helping […]
St. John Island Life (Winter 2010/2011)
Happy Holidays from Technomadia
It’s been difficult to remember that it’s the holiday season here in the Virgin Islands. Heck, it’s hard to remember it’s winter here. The weather has been pretty much a constant mid 80s during the day and upper 70s at night (and up in our little mountain cottage, it’s pretty much mid-70s all the time). […]
Sharing some St. John Warmth
Chances are, that most folks reading this are waking up to some awfully darn chilly weather. So, we’ll do our part to help spread the warmth from our tropical island life. Enjoy! Trunk Bay – St. John’s most famous beach – as seen from the Peace Hill hiking trail. Rated as one of the top […]
4th Week on St. John
It’s hard to believe that yesterday we marked being in St. John for 4 weeks now. We’ve definitely settled into island life here. We also were shocked to discover last Friday that in 4 weeks, we had only had 3 beach days. That is just.. wrong! For the past week or so, we’ve been pulling […]
Snapshots of St. John, US Virgin Islands
We’ve not yet gotten out with the good camera to take better framed photos.. so for now we’ll share with you some of the snap-shots we’ve taken as we’ve gotten out a bit. All photos are on Flickr – feel free to click-thru for higher resolution. Over in Cruz Bay – sailboats harbored. Over in […]
The Packing List
Before we left for St. John we set a goal of only checking 2 bags, each being under 50 lbs. Our purpose was not only to reduce baggage fees, but also to make us ultra conscious about what we packed. We wanted to find a balance between being comfortable in St. John with our familiar stuff, […]
Getting Settled in St. John
Wow. Can’t believe we’ve already been in St. John a week. And more so, just how much we’ve gotten accomplished since we’ve been here. Connectivity Our first and most important task was getting an internet solution installed. Chris did a lot of research into our options, which included DSL, cellular via AT&T or Sprint, line […]
Kiki’s First Flight
So, my people decided that we are going to live for a while in a place called St. John, and apparently we couldn’t just drive there – like we do everywhere else we go. They told me we’d have to either fly… or swim. Since I don’t do that water thing, guess we were flying […]
Welcome to the Frontier!
We arrived later than expected to US Virgin Island of St. John, after a very rough three-landing attempt into St. Thomas that included two last minute aborted landings, an insanely scary amount of turbulence through ‘swirling winds’ and an unscheduled stop in San Juan to wait out the rough weather. We arrived to our little […]
The 100 pound Packing Goal
After a frantic 3200 mile cross country drive from San Francisco to Orlando these past couple weeks, we have arrived. Our attention now shifts to packing up the RV, getting it cleaned out to sit for 5 months and packing up for our island winter. After a lot of thought and playing around with our […]
