We are at Reef Madness this week, and yes, there is construction. Not loud, but busy. It's a little scary meeting a big truck on the hairpin turn road, but they have been very good about backing up or pulling over.

I know, I know - opposite ends of the spectrum or what? And believe it or not, we have never had dinner in Cruz Bay in all the years we've been visiting (and may never do it again!) so this is an important decision. I suppose we'll just wander around and see what's happening. We could always eat at ...

Since I'm going down on Saturday, I guess I have to ask -what does she serve that's so terrific?

I'm with papabou-we are renting a gazillion-dollar house with a superb view, why put on shoes and underwear and leave it? On our cook-in nights we have lamb shish kebab w/MidEast rice, steak & grill potatoes, BBQ chicken, steaks, tequila shrimp, a spicy pork tenderloin, and sirloin nachos with b...

Someone either here or on TA posted a link to their wonderful, wonderful Reef Madness slide show. If you are that person, would you mind posting again? Thanks in advance!

If the house we rent has a hot tub, here's my routine when we get home from the beach: shower, put a deep conditioner on my hair and wrap it in a towel, and then soak in the hot tub with a drink while the conditioner soaks into my hair. I am no beauty-product diva, but this is my idea of heaven. And...

We have never gone without a jar of Nance's hot Buffalo Wing Sauce. Every vacation includes a night of sirloin tip nachos and wings.......and beer!

La Dolce Vida is not booked then; you could try asking Dorothy, the owner, if she'd rent to you for just 3 nights. It is right on the water and has a wonderful hot tub and deck.

We are a couple that love to cook, love to eat, love our million-dollar villa rentals and we value our privacy, so maybe in a 2 week vacation we eat dinner out three times. But I wouldn't say that we cook; it's more like we grill and make a salad. As the moon rises over the BVIs and the wine kicks i...

I wonder if they would give you an upgrade? Or free checked baggage? I think I'd ask. We haven't had a direct flight in years - it sounds like heaven. So I can understand your disappointment.
