British Virgin Islands Vacations, British Virgin Islands Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Virgin Gorda is famous for the seaside granite rock formation known as The Baths. I'd seen picture of The Baths and knew that a trip to see the huge boulders amid pools of water was one thing I definitely wanted to do on this cruise. Carnival Miracle docked at Tortola in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) early in the morning. (It's not that great a distance between St. Thomas and Tortola. The ship essentially goes out to sea from St. Thomas and stays overnight until it is time ...

We flew from Orlando to Puerto Rico on a big plane - one of the ones that has two seats on each side, then an aisle, and then like 5 or 6 seats across the middle.  From the gate in Puerto Rico, after our layover, we took a little bus outside to the part of the airstrip where our little plane was - one with propellers!  And only 2 seats on each side with one aisle.  We had to climb stairs to get in, and the engine sounded like it was going to explode.&nb...

We have all seen the oh so cheesy adverts on TV beckoning people to come to the carribean, the golden sands, the bluer than blue waters,the couple holding hands and a small child with an overly exagerated smile placed on his or her face. Me being the sceptic that I am wrote this off as a cleverly orchastrated advertsing strategy surely it cant be this beautiful? I was wrong. I set off to the BVI to stay with a friend from back home who has taken residence as a skipper on the open seas.

Technically I am located right now in Peter Island, but oh well.  So I know it's been a while since I last wrote, but I need to start getting in the habit again for my new blog this fall.  More on that later.  I think I last wrote at the end of second session.  Third session was challenging, mainly because everyone's energy and patience levels are lowered and I had a boat of 13 year olds, but I ended up really enjoying it.  I've always liked third session. ...
