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...]
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.

I only got to spend a precious few … [Read more...]
How would you like to watch a Caribbean sunset every night? You can become best friends with your hammock as you sway back and fourth, perched hillside overlooking Cruz Bay with St. Thomas sparkling in the background. Sounds damn near close to heaven doesn't it? You sip on a small taste of what that might feel like by looking through the lens of St. John Brewers webcam. I couldn't get the … [Read more...]
St. John (USVI) is on my short list of places I consider heaven on Earth. It has a small population, most of the island is a national park, its north shore beaches are an assault on your senses and you get lost in its slow pace of life. What's not to love. The majority of people coming to visit St. John do so via ferry boat and land on the dock in Cruz Bay. For me the dock is bitter sweet. It … [Read more...]
A tattoo is powerful symbol that communicates to its owner and to its audience. I don't think they are something that should not be taken lightly and that a great deal of thought needs to go into them, after all its going to be apart of you forever. My first tattoo is of my initials, "RV"and is on my right shoulder. I got it in the great city Chicago in 2004 I believe. It's small and … [Read more...]

Who I am and Why I Write - Close your eyes and remove yourself from the everyday. 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.
