Day 1: January 22, 2005 - Cincinnati to St. John
 Next Day
 
It was an early morning departure from Cincinnati. We were both groggy because we had been up late trying to fix issues with the referee system we are working on. Anyway, there was a winter storm warning and we drove to the airport in a combination of sleet and hail.

The airport was crowded at check in but once we got through it was quick. No lines at security (just the usual strip down) and the plane even left on time. We were a little concerned since it felt like forever before we were de-iced. We went off and 1:05 later, we were in Atlanta. They changed the arrival gate so we were right across from the departure gate to St. Thomas.

Again, no problems on the flight and we arrived in St. Thomas 30 minutes early. We checked in at the airport for the Westin and were taken to the ferry terminal. The boat ride was uneventful. We were just annoyed that we had to take seats in the cabin because a tour group fixed it so that they got on the boat first.

It's a huge property and there are golf carts to take you everywhere. We got to our room, showered and had dinner. Thus ended day 1.
