St. Thomas - Day 1

We arrived in Paradise for a much needed vacation full of relaxation! Our flight was uneventful, which is just the way we like it! We took a shared taxi ride to the resort and found out very quickly that everything is on a hill and the roads are very curvy.

We pulled up to the Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas and knew right off we had made a good decision. The staff if very accommodating, as usual, and the views, pool and room were wonderful. It was so nice to arrive in the open-air lobby and feel the breeze coming in off the ocean.

We couldn't wait to put our stuff down and hit the pool, so we did just that. We grabbed a quick but expensive lunch and found the perfect spot on the beach. Later we made our way to the pool where we finished the day before dinner. Since it was a travel day and we were exhausted from getting up at 4am we opted for a very casual dinner. We ate at Big Bamboo, it was only ok. The atmosphere was cool but not sure I would go back for a meal.
