Waterguy, thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry for your loss. You can't get any closer to heaven than Hawksnest. It really is heaven on earth. What a wonderful place for her and you to remember her always being there. I think that wedding was a sign to you..

Re: April 26 - May 4 - Trip Report (Part II)

Michigan girls - I was really surprised by Aqua Bistro because it came with such a high recommendation. Oh well, maybe our server was having a bad day. Motu is located on the lower level of a new building right next to the Terrace - in the same building where Low Key is now located. If you are looki...

Re: Connections

Look at Connections website for exact mailing directions. Call them before hand to let them know what to expect. We sent 2 flat large rate boxes USPS and Connections charged us $10 to hold them both. Not sure how long they will hold them for you. It worked out great for us. They were super helpful a...

Re: Charter with kids (3-year-old)?

We did a fully day trip with Capt Rick and Lion in da Sun with my 5 yr old and almost 3 yr old. There was a lot of variety going from place to place that the kids stayed interested. They napped during the boat rides in between stops and didn't have any meltdowns. I would do with a private charter to...

Re: Best place for lunch on or around Jost Van Dyke?

We ended up starting the day in BVI with a drink at Foxy's, then ended up at Foxy's Taboo for lunch at the strong suggestion of Capt. Rick of Lion in Da Sun. Richard Branson's yacht the Neckerbelle was in harbor and its dinghy at Taboo but no sign of him. Gorgeous views. Good appetizers, Mediterrean...
