On top of the world!

These are our newest friends, Susan and Toddy. They are from Rhosneigr, Anglesey, North Wales, UK.

We've been invited to visit/stay with them in the home they are staying in on Tortola. Sue and Toddy were asked by the owner to keep an eye on the place and watch the 3 dogs while they are away. Toddy is a sailing instructor and has been extremely helpful in teaching us to trim our sails, docking the boat in close quarters and working on the dinghy/boat. Sue and Karen have made some fabulous meals and we all feel as though we are eating like royalty.

This is a view from the pool area next to our room, looking to the west. We are above the ocean and surrounding island with views of over 50 miles to the horizon. Rumor has it that the property is for sale or could be rented at over $20,000/month.

On this night, Karen and I feel that we were at least 3 degrees of separation closer to Kevin Bacon...All 4 of us were invited to the home of an aquaintance of Toddy and Sue's for drinks and "horses de ovaries". Although we aren't rich and famous, obviously, the people inviting us were. We really enjoyed ourselves and, I think, y'all woulda been proud of us...we didn't embarass anyone's name and we left all of the silverware.

The place is called Steele Point Estates and can be found at http://www.steelepoint.com/ It rents for over $12,000/wk and more during the holidays. There may be a break in the price for monthly rentals. Let us know if you want to book your next vacation here. We'll join you and give a tour of the place!

And Toddy and Sue feel like we can go out in public with them again, soon.

This is one of the terraced walkways.

We are enjoying ourselves immensly with this life of ours.

We are hoping to be asked up to the house again someday.
