So to celebrate my birthday, my wonderful girlfriend booked us 3 nights in the Virgin Islands. September is the “off-season” for the virgin islands, which means the airfare and the hotel was dirt cheap. But dear lord was it amazing. The vacation included world-class snorkeling, scuba diving with an octopus, jet skiing, exploring a rain forest, and lots of good food.
For those of you who don’t know, the Virgin Islands are a couple of tiny islands east of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. You don’t need a passport to get to the US. Virgin Islands, and they accept US Dollars. If you are staying on St. Croix, I would reccomed the township of Christiansted instead of Frederiiksted because the former is charming and beautiful and the latter is much more urban, though the snorkeling is out of this world.
Here’s the view from our hotel:
And here is the equally stunning view at night time:
And here is my girlfriend and I scuba diving:
Thats me in the middle.
So, now that I’m back the pagecount has been updated, and we had someone processing sales while I was away, so we’re all set. Big news coming soon. Really big news. Can’t say too much more.
Quick Alexa Update
I almost forgot to mention that as our traffic continues to increase, our rank gets better and better on Alexa. Our official rank is now floating around 15,000. That is excellent. Advertisers are going to be lining up pretty soon.
