RE: St. Thomas
Jeffrey:
I was able to book a flight to St. Thomas on 5/26/09 arriving at 1:45 pm on Delta, departing 5/28/09 at 4:00 pm. Also, Brice Gordon called and is sending the base information. I should receive it by tomorrow. After review, I will call you. Be thinking about a "vision". Let me know if this schedule works for you. Regards,

the vision is romantic.. however the climate is not the peaceful tropical, that it first appears.. the wind is constant and the sun is brutal„ because its an island the irrigation is by reverse osmosis„ so quite expensive.. i need land sculpting. views places to relax, NO entertaining„ no more than ten people at any one time.. no parties, events public access.. PRIVATE PRIVATE PRIVATE.. not a lot of loca talent so matinence needs to be simple. rocks. hardscape, roads. natural elements.. NO sculpture garden. Dropoffpoint. or clubhouse. atvs are the mode of transport, but i would like hiking trails, cart paths and truck roads.. like we did in new albany , a excercise type ofhikes, steep , even dirt igsariggys for excercise. I really am excited about your trip. Give all your details toad and we are obvioulsy picking up all costs.
OK, sounds great. I'm very excited with the opportunity of turning your vision into reality. I'm familiar with the dry nature of the area. Please send me Sarah's contact information. I'll be in touch.

an arrival sequencethat does not appear commercial, and a land reorgainzation for the top of the hill would be a priority. I have insight„ I want to make the arrival pleasant but not visually outstaanding as i DO NOT want to attract attention or unwanted guests
I understand your desire for privacy and being noncommercial. I just received the base topo files from Brice and will be printing the drawings today for review. It's very detailed and helpful. It is my intent, during my site visit to walk every inch of the Island, make notes and then call you.
Regards,
Stephen
