Still friends!

Zip-lining with Tree Limin' Extreme was, for me, EXTREME!  I am not the most comfortable person at high elevations, so this was definitely outside of my comfort zone.  When Trenette and I arrived for our 1pm appointment, everything was prepped and ready for us.  Our guides, Shawn and Brandon, greeted us with smiles and laughter.  The theme of the day was SAFETY.  We were briefed on how to get in to our harnesses and adjust our helmets so that we would be secure and protected while on the lines and they also explained the purpose of everything that was attached to our waist.  Shawn and Brandon were already fitted with their safety gear and assisted each person in putting on their own.  When everyone was ready, we headed up to the 6-wheel drive ATV where our driver, Amy, was waiting.

Tree Limin' Extreme Zipline now on St. Thomas

Travel industry source Travel Weekly has caught on the buzz that's rocking Rock City: the zipline is finally here!  TW reporter Gay Nagle Myers posted on the new venture, known as Tree Limin' Extreme on St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands.

The "Limin'" refers to the island expression of actively relaxing and doing fun things, or "to lime" (pronounced like the citrus fruit).  May we add, limin' in the trees is quite extreme as the landscape zips past you while you sail into the vista!

Magic Ice Extraordinary!

Executive Director of the Virgin Islands Taxicab Commission Judith Wheatley was one of many who took part in the opening of Magic Ice USVI in downtown Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. 

Magic Ice is extraordinary! Many of the sculptures are of local persons and things such as Queen Charlotte Amalia, King Frederick, iguanas, a Cruzan Rum bottle, seahorse, dolphin, polar bear, reindeer, the Virgin Islands Market Woman, etc. Quite a variety and quite interesting. Also there is a bar made from ice that serves drinks.

Incidentally, there is a sculptured ice chapel for those wishing to conduct their wedding ceremony. Then there is the retail store closer to the Main Street.
