So we were in STJ a year ago this month, and were so impressed how far the island had come back but sad to see how much still remained to be done. It was a very strong statement for the residences who suffered so much, the folks that responded, and those who provided so much like Kenny C and his No Shoes Nation.

We are disappointed that we will not experience the continued recovery to a complete return of our special place, but I must admit I am concerned that the big boys are moving in and the price to experience our special place will soon be out of reach.

But I am sure that is a thread to itself.

So Spain here we come! STJ - we shall return!
