Hi, welcome to the Bradley family Travel Blog! The point of the blog is to let our family and friends see what we are doing and if they ever go to these places they can choose what to see and what to avoid. We tend to lean toward the more active side - like "leave no stone unturned" so if you want to go at a more leisurely pace, you can just pick and choose. Choose a destination above, on the map, or in the groups on the right hand side of the page.

Happy travels, Phill, Shellie, Bix, Brooke

Caribbean Day 3-4 (St.Thomas, USVI)

Day 3-4 (St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands and Sea Day)



OUCH - Cable rips my shoulder
The first stop on the cruise was to St. Thomas.  We went to the zipline Tree Limin’ http://www.ziplinestthomas.com/ at the top of a mountain that overlooked the bay.  The drive itself to the top of the mountain was an adventure in a bus and safari vehicle/hummer that needed power to get up the 45 degree hills.  After we suited up, we went with two guides through six ziplines.  This was the safest zipline setup I had seen with three safety carabiners per person.  One time I lept off the platform and burned my shoulder on the cable – like a rope burn, but it went through my shirt and now I have a scar.  The last line was a 6 story drop.  The views from the platforms were amazing and I would recommend this excursion.

Brrr - Magic Ice ice bar in St.Thomas
 After ziplining, we went into town ($4 per person cab) and visited Magic Ice http://www.magicice.vi/ – an Ice Bar – where everything inside is made of ice – it was about 8000 square feet and about twice the size of the ice bar in Vegas.  We hung out for a little while, got lots of pictures and then headed back to the ship.



On the ship we saw two different comedians and had a great dinner.


Stupid shirts wives made us wear
Day 4 was at sea – we played mini-golf, went to the shows and casino, and I headed to bed early because I ate too much.  When I got to the bed, I got a text from Shellie that I had missed the casino drawing for $450 and my name had been drawn, but I had to be present to win.  I was just there!  I didn’t miss another drawing, but never did win after that.
