Hi All,
We are just back from our wonderful 2 week Caribbean cruise to the Virgin Islands and the West Indies--what a blast. You won't believe how much Sea glass we found. The first stop was San Juan, Puerto Rico---we got there late in the day and there was a political demonstration that blocked traffic so we never made it to the beach--no sea glass here this time!
Next was St Thomas. We never seem to find too much glass here and this trip was no exception. Here again--May day celebration with blocked roads and traffic agravation--wrong place at the wrong time. Then came St Martin and much better luck--even if it was Carnival Time. We found a great driver (Tony)who actually knew what we were looking for and he took us to several great sea glass beaches. We had a great time with him and plan to do it again next trip. Next stop was Dominica. It was our first visit to this lovely island and we were told there wasn't much glass to be found here---Boy were our sources wrong!!! We found a really great driver (Roy) who took us to some fabulous beaches. There among the rocks and black sand, we found some of the best sea glass we've ever found--copious amounts--Roy even helped us look and amazingly-he was the one who found the nice nugget of orange. We had the best time--even in the rain.
Next we went to Barbados--again good hunting on even a public beach during the incoming tide. Again, we ran into a festival with road closings and traffic jams but our driver (Jockey) got us where we needed to go with no problem. Our final stop was St Kitts and we found a rousing ONE PIECE of glass. Someone had to have been there just ahead of us!! Was it one of you?? Anyway--we had a wonderful time and I spent my evenings on the ship working on sea glass jewelry using some of the great stuff we found. I'll be adding it to the website soon so keep an eye open.
