Smoothies were awesome, and yes, we will be back later in the week. We have seen a lot, but we also know that our time here is priceless. We did buy a couple of disposable underwater cameras.

I am now officially hooked on Rum cream. I have been drinking it over ice with a splash of sprite. I'm going to have to bring some home with us, not sure that I have ever seen it in our local liquor store.

Obviously I was joking when saying the boat was my new toy, I only wish!! We spent the day exploring around the island in t...

Wow, we love this forum!! Everyone is so helpful and the responses are very prompt. Looks like we will go to Maho first to figure things out. It sounds like it's best to bring your own mask or what about renting equipment on STJ? I understand that you want it to fit correctly so there isn't any leak...

Tortola?

I was wondering if anyone has been to the Dolphin Discovery on Tortola? We were thinking about heading there for a day to swim with the dolphins. Is it worth taking part in? Also, how long does it take to get there from St. John? Thanks
