Sharing Time

       Despite the adventure and all, we have had a few issues with our travel assignment. I won't go into bitch mode. I will say that if one chooses to go forth with this, be on your toes. It reminds me of the Army in many ways. Broken promises, late answers, long lines... but YOU provide your own cot and food ;)

       Tracy and I were separated by shift on our unit as we are "involved". So during our interview were promised working the same Calendar day, but I work nights/she days.  Pretty much BS on arrival and into the schedule for December. The manager on the unit could easily be replaced by random floor nurse in any hospital in the mainland. I wouldn't blink with lack of work ethic, hiding, and lack of personal skills.  Coming off a three day stretch, I power napped so T and I could have some time together.

       The weather today was "off" as far as rain and sunshine.  We trekked to the highest point on the island instead.  World Famous Mountain Top was the goal. After a few hair-pin turns and some horn honking we arrived . Pretty kitschy, Banana Daiquiris are only $11 ! Pretty tasty stuff! Found a beautiful view of the island north side. Magens Bay was at our feet. I wouldn't let anyone hold my phone, so I did a self portrait of Tracy and I. It's not flattering, but you'll get the idea!
Mountain Top
Lot's of nice touristy stuff. So sad to overhear people complaining from the cruise lines,  Poor bastards had no clue where they really were.  We bought a few things to include a beach bag for Tracy and water shoes for me.. 

       Off to Havensight to get flip-flops, and then to Red Hooks for Happy Hour! Duffy's Love Shack . It's the ONLY place to get a beer under $2.  If you hear otherwise let me know!

       T works in the AM tomorrow and I will get some needed rest! Plans for the weekend? Most likely hitting St John. Hoping to find a paramedic that used to work for HCMC, back home. I've made contact, and pray to meet up for some advice, re-acquaintance and fun! 

Out for now!

  1. Is that Megan Bay behind you. I've been up there if it is. There was a donkey you could take your picture with, is it still there???
