NOTE- Leaving tomorrow for a November '24 LOV visit and figured we better clear the deck on the last two years before it gets out of hand.
Another two years disappeared and things have changed but stayed the same on Lovango. Dan and Fiona got married. Django and Kelseagh got married. Matt and Charlotte got married. Nicole and Lance took up residence into the little bungalow west of everything. Sharpe and Margie had a baby girl, Lily, and moved into their place (that's still under construction). Will and Maddy and Josephine moved to Block Island and then Buffalo. The resort has added 8 tree houses, 8 cottages, and- this summer- 4 villas. Widget passed away. Hurricanes have been more violent but politely avoided USVI the past couple of years. Just a matter of time. Speaking of weather, we head down in a week and the been wet (Dan said 9" in 10 minutes last night with winds of 45 mph) and looks to be for the forecastable future.
Again, letting photos paint some of the scenes and stories from the last couple of years.
