Jim.....Pegi and I went down there last year on a business trip and wished we hadn't. There are many nice islands in the Caribbean, but St. Thomas isn't one of them.

The place is still a mess after two bad hurricanes back in 2017 and the government is so corrupt that it makes the Daily group of crooks in Chicago look like a bunch of choir boys. The rest of the population isn't to bad, but they do import and consume one heck of an amount of alcohol, which makes driving on the wrong side of the road a real adventure.

And to top the whole trip off, after we got on the plane for flight home, the pilot announced they didn't have enough Jet-A to make it to Orlando so they needed to off load 6 passengers, with luggage, and stop in Puerto Rico for gas. Our nice expected mid afternoon arrival home turned out to be near midnight.


Not a place I'm interested in ever visiting again.

Greg,

My progress has been way slower than I anticipated when I started this journey.  I lost the desire to work on the layout for an extended period of time.  Stay tuned for more on that...


You're not alone Jerry, I really want to get started building all those kits I have, but haven't gotten motivated to get going for a number of years and the layout has been collecting dust for even longer..... :(
