RickG, Do you have any more information about that private charter? I MIGHT consider it. I have yet to find a way to get to Anegada and back the same day from either STT or STJ. Last time we were there, we stopped at the kiosk in Cruz Bay for some information. The only flight from STT left at 5:00 i...

That's really inconvenient, not just for those of us arriving and heading straight to St. John, but what about the cruise ship folks that might want to spend a day on St. John? Going all the way over to Red Hook will stink for them--it cuts a lot of time out of what must already be an abbreviated d...

I have been researching this too as I have wanted to day trip to Tortola. The concensus seems to be that you need a car to get around as it is a bigger island. Think it could be done by taxi if you had some kind of itinerary set. Cane Garden Bay looks fun, but on cruise ship days gets ridiculously c...

Once again, it just depends on how you want to spend your day. If you want to snorkel and The Bath's something that you really want to see and explore, then VG. If you just want to laze on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean and have lunch and libations, then White Bay on JVD. Haven't...

Anyone know if the new Ferry Terminal at Red Hook is open yet? That might help some.

Funny, I call one pair of my Teva's "dressy" too :oops: ! I have as of late just brought my water Teva's, "dressy" Teva's and a pair of flip flops. I have brought more to STJ, but just don't seem to wear them. I go for comfort walking the hills.

I'm new to this particular forum, but must say that I found myself looking forward to your next installments. Wonderful report! I tried a few painkillers myself while in the VI's.

We did the trip last March and really liked it alot as first timers. Great overview of the islands. If the swells are big, recommend using one of those noodle thingies on the swim in to the Baths. On THIS particular day that we went the swells were big and it was tiring. Most of us girls used a nodd...
