Re: Full Moon - Thursday, April 25th

Hey! We'll be there too! Miss Lucy's is where you want to be! They have food, music and drinks and a pretty good view of the moon! Plus with the moon full, you never know what kind of craziness is going to happen!

Re: Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel

We've stayed there a few times as well (in room #5) and we are going to spend a few nights there again in April. It really is a great place! Very convenient and very clean. We really enjoy the morning breakfast! The owners and staff are very nice and are always quick with a "hello" and &qu...

Re: Villa Gravity Parties in June?

We won't be there in June to join you, but it does sound like a great idea! Don't think of it as a party so much, instead think of it as a way to show people around the villa and encourage them to book it for their next vacation! It would just be a coincidence if there happens to be cold drinks and ...

Re: Best air fair site?

Kayak is a pretty useful site for finding and tracking prices. When I actually make the purchase, though, I always go to the airline's website and purchase directly from them. I've found that the big travel sites sometimes tack on a few extra fees that raise the price a little. Also, I had a complet...

Re: Paris Car Rental - too good to be true?

We have used Paris in the past and had no problems. They weren't as conveniently located as the other rental agencies and the jeep we had was pretty well used, but everything else was OK.

Re: Crewed Charter advice, please - Festiva, Moorings or oth

From what I could tell from their website, Singing Dog Sailing seems to be for day trips and not a live-aboard. It looks like a pretty nice boat though! We are looking for the week long live-on-the-boat vacation.

Re: Crewed Charter advice, please - Festiva, Moorings or oth

Thanks for the feedback! I think that was exactly what I wanted to hear! How long ago did you sail with Festiva? Now that you've sailed with them - any tips for someone going out for the first time?

Crewed Charter advice, please - Festiva, Moorings or other

My wife and I have our 15th Anniversary coming up this spring and instead of the villa we are going to do a week on a catamaran sailing the BVIs. I've looked at both Festiva and Moorings and they both look great and the price is right. Was wondering if there are any other options out there that you ...

Far Niente added to my list of villas.

Every year we go down, my wife tells me to bring my guitar. Every year I say I don't want to risk damaging it. Every year I sit there watching the sun rise or set and wish I had my guitar.
