You're driving your rented Jeep out of Cruz Bay and jumping on North Shore Rd. This is not an easy drive. It's nearly impossible to concentrate. You're trying your best to stay on the left side of the road, but you also are being assaulted by scenic overlooks that take your breath away. Then you have goats and tourist to look out for. Like I said, it's not an easy drive. If you manage to stay … [Read more...]
Trunk Bay, she's like the pretty girl in class, always getting all the attention. She's the most photographed, the most photogenic, the most popular. Just because she's the prettiest, doesn't mean she's the best, but you do have to give credit when credit is due, Trunk Bay is a beautiful girl. Cruisers from St. Thomas line up for a chance to day trip it over to St. John and Trunk Bay. They … [Read more...]
What can I say about Maho Bay on St. John? Nothing that words can adequately describe. I'll give it a shot though, then I'll let the video take over. Maho Bay is lush green hillsides towering behind you, free of homes that if there, would command million dollar views. It is gentle waves massaging your ankles as you're feet sink into the soft white sand. It is sea, sky and land coming together … [Read more...]
Seeing a lost love, if only for 30 minutes, is magnitudes better than not seeing that love at all. Parting may be bitter sweet, but the time spent will last you until the next encounter. It may sound like I'm gushing about an old flame or quoting a sappy love novel but no. That's they way I felt when walking the shore of Cinnamon Bay on St. John's north shore. I only got to spend a precious few … [Read more...]
Toes sinking deep into the soft sand and my jaw hanging agape, Francis Bay on St. John might have made my heart skip a beat. The clock was ticking though and I had Caribbean blogger work to do. If only one could freeze time, this would be the place to do it. I only had five short hours to spend on St. John before having to catch the noon ferry back over to St. Thomas and jump on a flight. Is … [Read more...]

Caribbean sunset photos are no stranger to this website. There's just something about them that touches the sensitive side of me. Erin would argue that that part doesn't even exist in me, but it does, it just picks certain times to reveal itself. As I was picking out the sunset photos to include in this post a fitting song started playing on No Shoes Radio, Soulshine by Gov't Mule. How perfect … [Read more...]

Imagine yourself waking up in the morning, throwing open the curtains and staring out at the Caribbean Blue. It's a Tuesday and you have to go to work, but you couldn't be happier. You gladly jump into your flip flops, fire up the jeep and head to Coral Bay to heat up the grill. Okay, so you work the kitchen and sling drinks at a Caribbean beach bar, life is pretty good right? It can be better. … [Read more...]
Caribbean Webcams, they're our little window into places where we long to be. I thought I'd follow up yesterday's St. John Cinnamon Bay video post with a little more STJ love. Last week I saw a post from St. John Life saying there was a new webcam on St. John. I excitedly jumped out of my chair, did an awkward cartwheel in my office, then composed myself and went straight to the site to see … [Read more...]

Picture your toes sinking into the sand as the waves kiss your ankles and listen to the coconut palms rustle in the gentle sea breeze. That’s a nice feeling isn’t it? I live a little bit of that life and want to share my tropical dreams with you. My name is Ryan and I hale from the land-locked, can’t get any further from the ocean, state of Kansas.
