I'm dreaming again, checking out options for a return visit "someday." (It was 10 years between our first & second visits). Hubby says we'll return at some point. I just checked out the website for Honeymoon Cottage by Francis Bay; it intrigues me. I don't see it listed on the villa re...

I did 13 days with mask, snorkel and fins, carry-on only. It can be done.

we sipped rum and watched the moon.

<sigh.........>

On our last trip I was informed that the ferry guy are not supposed to accept tips. We did not tip and did not observe anyone else tipping either. There was a per bag fee, I believe it was $2.00 per bag.

12 years ago I quit smoking with the support of the forums on Quitnet. The day I joined up, someone posted a thread to serve as a distraciton from our communal cravings. It was an exerpt from a children's book invovling someone named "Captain Underpants" and was one of thosw word lists whe...

Captain Phil's boat, the Wayward Sailor, takes a maximum of 6, and he is absolutely wonderful for snorkel trips. he snorkels along with you and is an expert at identifying and teaching about the various underwater creatures you encounter. He's alsogot some great stories to share as you sail from her...

We were told at check in that we did not need ot do dishes or clean up before check out, but we cleaned up after ourselves anyways. We did dishes, put them away and cleaned the kithchen and dining areas thoroughly. Left the towels by the washer. Took the trash with us and dropped it in the dumpster.

My husband and I rented snorkel gear and hiked to Honeymoon Beach for our first snorkel. We got the hang of it in the first 5 minutes and the snorkeling there was fantastic. If you've had prior practice in the pool, you're good to go. Pick a known easy spot for your first try and enjoy! I can also h...

There is a wealth of information here: http://www.nps.gov/yell/naturescience/bearenc.htm While I havenotebeento Yellowstone, I have visited quite a few national parks, and have found that if you check with the rangers at the visitors center or back country office they have a good handle on recent be...

We just returned from St.John last night (trip report soon come). We took a sail to Jost with Captain Phil on the Wayward Sailor whilewe were ther. Captain Phil told us some Pirate Bill stories on the trip. According to him, after Bill went to Hospice, one day he decided he was ready to go and took ...

Thanks for all the usefull info. I calculated ho w much I will need in cash and just got back from the bank with twice that amount, per the oft-repeated "pack half as much clothing, take twice as much cash" addage. Following the same rule, my husband now has all of his stuff in one carryon...

I can really hear that clock a'ticking now, and even though I don't leave until Thursday I am now officially packed with the exception of shoes and toothbrush. I am now working out how much cash I need and what I can oput on credit. It's been so long since our last trip I can't remember how the ferr...

My best day was my very first day - it was the day I "got it." It started at sunrise watching the first ferry chug into Cruz Bay and the town slowly awaken while I sat on my balcony with morning coffee, roosters crowing, frigate bird circling over to bay... what an utter sense of peace and...

Love the music choice - "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n' roll!" Ain't it the truth!

Just blow on by, Dorian. I've waited 10 years for trip #2 and I will NOT have you spoil it. You better be WELL outta there by the time I arrive to catch teh ferry to Virgin Gorda on Thursday, and tell all your little friends back in Africa to just forget about venturing westward for awhile, too. Boo...
