Wow, I cannot believe it is 2014 ! It seems like we were just celebrating Y2K. It has been COLD - I mean Frigid - in Pittsburgh. Hard to believe we are heading to days of tenps in the 80's and lows in the mid 70's - I know I will probably be complaining about the heat. Hopefully the sunshine will get rid of the last of our bad head colds we got right after Christmas - so much illness going around it made the news!
We spent New Year's Eve at the Hyatt at Pittsburgh airport to catch a 6:35 AM flight. Tonight we will be staying at the Inn at Blackbeard's Castle in Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas, which is the US Virgin Islands. I think we are treating ourselves pretty good so far this new year.

Here we are at the most beautiful marina in the world - Nanny Cay. So far the trip has been glitch-free, efficient, on-time, etc. So un-island like - even customs and immigration was swift. Now waiting for the boat to splash and get it into a slip. since we haven't been boaters for seven months it is always more nerve-wracking than usual. The winds are a little high today which is a big factor, and which also made for a pretty rough ferry trip here from St. Thomas.

| View from our window Dec. 31sr. Brrrr Too bad I didn't think to raise the screen. |

| Even though the Steelers didn't make the play-offs this year their presence is everywhere - like the Charlotte, NC airport. This is not the team plane either, but guess USAirways has the spirit. |

| Shortly before we left Pgh. I was grocery shopping & looking around realized what abundance we have here in the US. Yesterday the store here sold out of bananas again. And no point in talking about the cost of and condition of fresh produce after it has been shipped here, then left sitting on the dock awhile, slowly unloaded - ok, you get the picture. |
