Welcome to Charles Oropallo and Susan Oropallo’s St. Thomas blog site.

Charles Oropallo had seldom taken vacation as he was self employed for many years and working very hard to grow his web development business. Charles and Susan owned time shares in Provincetown, Massachusetts, so they knew that time shares literally forced them to take an annual vacation there.

Exposure to St. Thomas all started, ironically, on a trip to South Carolina, where Charles Oropallo and Susan Oropallo spoke with a Wyndham representative about their time shares. The presentation left Charles and Susan believing they could actually afford to visit someplace each year that seemed like paradise. So they ended up purchasing a time share (site unseen) in one of Wyndham’s newest resorts: Margaritaville – on the island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Margaritaville was not yet open at this time!

To clarify a bit, Charles and Susan have friends who have visited the Virgin Islands and raved about the experiences. So this knowledge helped in their decision.

This website is about Charles Oropallo and Susan Oropallo and their adventures in St. Thomas and throughout the general United States Virgin Islands area.

The real surprise would be that Charles and Susan had no idea when making this purchase how much they would absolutely love St. Thomas and the surrounding islands. Acquiring Wyndham Margaritaville timeshare points was the beginning of an entire new adventure for Charles Oropallo and Susan Oropallo.
