At the Buccaneer
We're here in Christiansted, St Croix - and it looks as though I'm just going to have to take a break from blogging. For some reason, my laptop doesn't recognize the local dial tone, which could really be just another failure of the ageing machine. I wish that I could share the lovely pictures that Kathleen has been taking, but they'll have to wait until the weekend. Not that you don't have plenty to keep you busy until then.
Because I'd been assured that I'd have dial-up access in the room (which is lovely, with a beautiful view - and I was wrong about the surf), I was a bitter as well as frustrated at first. Kathleen's response was to go into town and buy a proper wireless machine. I wouldn't have it. Configuring a new machine far from home? Now there's something that I wouldn't want to do on vacation.
Be like me, and get yourself a copy of Nature Girl Carl Hiaasen's latest frolic. It's terrific fun so far.

rj,
OK, if there's no connection where you are how did you post this? You have wisely avoided Thanksgiving Day in the US proper and providentially perhaps what could prove to be a really nasty T Day in NYC weather wise. We pray you're not having turkey today. Since the Solar Queen loves to cook the traditional T Day meal we will be sitting down to a roasted turkey with all the Southern trimmings around one this afternoon. I'm in charge of sweet tea and the salad. As always, I'm a green as these pages over your travels. I've made my first pass through The Road and am going back now to make notes for my first, and perhaps final, report. My best to K. Enjoy what must be a lovely holiday.
Love,
G
