I'm in the British Virgin Islands now.

2:51.5

I think last time we spoke. Actually, I know last time we spoke, it was on my birthday. I was in St. Thomas for a few days, and I popped over to visit St. John, which I'd never been to before. And I was like, ooh, I like it over here, really good restaurants. I got back to St. Thomas, and I just wasn't ready to leave yet. So I was like, I think I want to stay longer, but I want to do something else. So I wasn't really quite sure what. So I checked out my hotel and I packed up all my stuff and I got a taxi to take me to the Marine Terminal. And I was like, what's the next boat? And the lady was like, um, Roadtown at 140. And I was like, road town that she's like, like, Tortola. And I was like, okay, yeah, I'll take a ticket. She was like, do you have a passport? And I was like, I do. So it all worked out. I got on a boat. And as we were pulling in, I went on Hotels.com and booked a place and then, you know, gave it to the agent. They were very pushy about where are you staying? What's the address?

I mentioned to a couple people I was going to St. Thomas, and they were like, oh, let me look at my dates. And I was like, that wasn't an invite. I kind of just wanted to be solo so I could, you know, move as I see fit.

3:24.7

First three days I was here, that wasn't an invite. I kind of just wanted to be solo so I could, you know, move as I see fit. First three days I was here, I laid by the hotel pool all day. Like, I would leave to go get something to eat at night, but otherwise, like, I was good. And then, like, randomly I woke up and started venturing out to things, like, very last minute. I just didn't feel like planning. I just wanted to be like on the beach or in the sun and seeing water.
