The trip and all!

We returned from St Thomas last week. Spent a week at the Morning Star-Marriott. On a scale of 1-10 we feel that it is about a 7.The rooms are in need of some TLC. Staff friendly though. The beach was not what we are used to in St John by any means. Rocky and very wavy and a lot of current going on.The sand was always wet, lot of wash up garbage that needed to be taken care of to the left of Havana Blue-whichever direction that is.
One thing for sure people are still getting married. 4 weddings in 1 day.
On the 2nd day we were there woke up about 3:00 a.m., verrryyyyy dizzzyyyy and with tremors. Of course a little panic set in, realizing where we were and not knowing what to do. So called 911, EMT came and we left in rescue vehicle, St Thomas still uses the van type.
Got to the hospital-feeling just a little better. Did the EKG and some blood work, slightly dehydrated.
Had a nurse from Mississippi that was there for 6 months-traveling nurse, very nice. So, they are ready to release me after finding nothing and I suggest they look in my right ear-it was swollen shut. I had been having a little trouble with it prior to leaving home. They gave me some antibiotic drops and released me. Oh s...! Forgot to bring clothes for the return trip to Marriott. It's now 9:00 a.m. and I arrive in p.j's and hospital robe via taxi in front of the main lobby.
We did get to Cinnamon Bay 1 time that was a $100.00 taxi-ferry day. Couldn't do that to many times, but we are returning to St John in May 2011. YE HAH!
We are rested though and looking forward to Spring.
