00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,320
Hey guys, what is going on? My name is Lily Monroe and you're listening to Escort Confessions.

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:13,280
And welcome back. I know it's been a month since my last podcast. I mean, I haven't really got

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:19,840
much to talk about that I haven't already talked about. So yeah, I guess this podcast is becoming

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:25,680
kind of like a travel podcast now. I was thinking of doing a separate travel podcast, but it would

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:32,800
take so much time and like to transfer everything. So I'm just like, it's fine. I'll just keep it that

6
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:41,920
way. So yeah. So recently I came back from a trip from Saint Croix, which is in Virgin Islands.

7
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,960
Two years ago I actually went to Saint Thomas, which is a much bigger island. It's more populated.

8
00:00:48,960 --> 00:01:00,560
It's, I would say like in my experience, the water was clearer in that island than it was in Saint

9
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:07,440
Croix. But still, like I actually liked Saint Croix better than Saint Thomas because Saint Croix is

10
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:13,520
more like laid back. People are nicer there. I mean, people are nice to me everywhere because

11
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:22,160
I'm nice to everybody. Unless I don't have to be nice. But if that makes sense. But yeah, Saint

12
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:28,560
Croix, so it's very laid back. It takes probably like 50 minutes just to get to the other side.

13
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,400
Only 50 minutes. So it took me more than like it gave me more than enough time to explore the

14
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:40,000
whole island in two and a half days that I was there. Usually like if I go somewhere, I spend

15
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,120
more than two days there. Like sometimes four or five. And depends how big the territory is.

16
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:54,480
Not that it's the size that matters. But yeah, like those two and a half days were more enough

17
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:00,960
for me to go explore. Like pretty much the whole time I went, so pretty much the whole time I was

18
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:08,720
just beach hopping from one beach to another beach. And that sounds probably weird on your

19
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:17,520
guys aside. But beach because one... Yeah, anyways. So yeah, I went to beach hopping and

20
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,520
good experience. It's like one beach is smaller and there's nowhere to lay down. And then another

21
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:30,080
beach could be more intimate and you can go skinny dipping, which is exactly what I did actually. But

22
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:39,920
we'll get to that a little bit later. So the first day I arrived and the first day I arrived, I

23
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:50,960
landed at about 2 30 ish. And they have an hour difference. So it was like earlier. Yeah. And

24
00:02:50,960 --> 00:03:00,240
time traveling, you know. Anyways, and I had to... Okay, so I rented a car. I like to rent a car

25
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,360
anywhere I go somewhere, which is great idea if you want to explore everything. Instead of just

26
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:12,560
like staying in one place. So I rented a car with the center line company. Y'all, y'all.

27
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:20,480
I booked a car in advance. And the family before who were in the line before me, I talked with her

28
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:26,960
because we both had to wait like a freaking hour to get a car. She reserved like months in advance.

29
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:34,000
And people after us, they got their cars ASAP. So I was like, what the hell? Like, why is this

30
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,480
happening? So that was like a first red flag. Like, I never rented with them before. And we had to

31
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:47,840
wait like an hour like, no, no, not okay. I mean, I was not in a hurry. But they were they were

32
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:56,480
thinking of buying a house and like that woman she was flipping off on her husband and the kids were

33
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:04,320
just hot. It was humid. Like, it got it got humid because it was 89 degrees. I get their frustration.

34
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,720
But I mean, I was I was pretty much chilling. So I was on my phone, I was writing on my diary while

35
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:18,240
I was waiting. Finally got my car. I changed in the car. I and then Virgin Islands, because they

36
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:28,960
are owned technically by British as well. You drive on the left side. So yeah, gets used to but

37
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:36,000
yeah, gets used to but it's pretty doable. So yeah, and the first destination was like a

38
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,320
Sandy Point wildlife refugees. So I went there, I had to wait like 12 minutes because they won't

39
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:51,280
open their doors until 4pm. And when the gate was open, everybody, everybody started going like

40
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:56,240
there were three cars in front of me. So I went at the gate, I was stopped. And the guy said,

41
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,920
Oh, today's actually the fishing day. And I was like, Oh, well, I'll just take pictures real quick.

42
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:08,000
Like, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I'm just visiting. I'm a photographer and he let me in.

43
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:15,280
So I was like, Yay. If I say I'm a photographer everywhere, who knows how far can I go? And such

44
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:19,440
a good excuse. I mean, I am a photographer, I consider myself photographer, I take really good

45
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:25,520
pictures, I just have to market it more. So anyways, um, yeah, so went to the Sandy Point

46
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,320
wildlife refugee, the water was really clear. Unfortunately, I could not swim because it was

47
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:36,480
for fishing. It was only fishing day. So they had three beaches at the wildlife refugee. I went to

48
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:42,560
the first one where everybody went. They began to set up fishing, I took some pictures, I saw

49
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:49,040
really big seashells that are as big as my head, pretty much. So I took pictures with those big

50
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:58,320
seashells on the seashore. And then I went to another point, it was more intimate. I could have

51
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,680
stayed there. But I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna respect the rules. It's fishing day. As much as I

52
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:11,440
didn't want to go dip in the water, I decided not to. And then I went to the last point and I gave

53
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:19,440
like a city view and it was just, it was gorgeous. So yeah.
