G'day

Had to look St Croix up on Google. I want to go - please send me a
ticket.

I recall driving around Europe in a ubiquitous VW Kombi in 1975 when I
was a tad younger. It was RHD and coming off the vehicular ferries in
Northern Europe was the most fun when it took me quite a few minutes to
realise that I was on the wrong side of the road.

Being a visitor to their country I would have thought they should
accommodate me by driving on the left.

Patrick:Kindly remember, however, that over here, we at least have the
presence of mind to drive on the right and proper lane! Having been in
St.
Croix and experiencing what happens when you are driving using a left
sided
wheel (most of the cars are from the USA) and driving in the left lane,
the
experience can be quite breathtaking!BillBJ7
