Short Trips, Swim Race Prep, and Work
Over the last week, I flew to St Croix and back on planes that seat fewer than 8 people, and I flew to JFK and back on planes that seat over 300. 
The trial in St Croix last Tuesday got cancelled right after we landed, but weather prevented us from getting on the Seaplane in either direction and it also forced us to stay there over night even sans trial. So I still haven't gotten to try the seaplane out yet.
But I did get to take some pictures of St Croix from the air. I also was able to see firsthand just how far Buck Island is from the shore - where we'll be swimming on Sunday. Buck Island is in the middle of this picture on the horizon. It's just a small dot....
Then on Friday we flew into JFK for my cousin's wedding in CT. Wow, NYC is so huge. So many buildings and people and places to shop compared to St Thomas! I had hoped to find a few more work shirts while we were there, but looking for short sleeve shirts in October in New England was pretty hopeless. It was great to hang out with the family again though. People are going to have to start visiting us now though!
I escaped work for a little over an hour on Monday to go swimming for some more training. Just a few more days until the big 5 mile swim. This week we're loading up on carbs. We fly on the Seaplane on Saturday to St Croix, and Sunday morning is the race. I'll be super happy with finishing in three and a half hours, but just finishing would be great!

We've both been busy at work. Now that more cruises are coming to St Thomas and the sun is shining once again, Dave's got a few more tours. He had one Monday morning and then one yesterday, and today is a double hitter. He's out with the people from the Disney cruise this morning, and I'm not sure he'll be with in the afternoon. Dave's sandal tan is getting mighty impressive. We'll have to post a picture soon.
In the meantime... here are some pictures of us on our way to work from last week. Me in my light-weight cotton button up (but I've since taken my braids out) and Dave in his Eco-Tours shirt and swim trunks! He'll be getting a hat soon too.
