It still feels odd from time to time to drive on the left side of the road, but I’ve mostly gotten used to it and I haven’t been getting lost at all lately.
Driving the other day on North Shore Road, which winds around the coast – some incredibly beautiful seascape. As I rounded a bend and entered a short straight away, a car came around the bend about 100 yards ahead of me and headed straight for me.
“Oh gosh, I did it again!” I thought to myself. But I looked down and, no, I was in the correct lane – on the left side of the road. Just as I realized this, the other driver did too. The other car suddenly jerked sharply to the right (my right, of course, not his) and drove past me in the correct lane.
I had to laugh, and think to myself, “Tourist!”
I guess I’m getting the hang of this.

PS- I once studied a week there at the Farliegh Dickinson U. (studying marine biology) Don't know how to spell it, but had a marvelous time. Is it still there?

On St. John and somewhat on St. Thomas, these signs are posted on the roads for the tourists. I don't remember if there were any on St. Croix...
