Trip Report 6/26-7/1 part 4

Re: New Trip Planned Already

We leave in 3 weeks from today, and I'm already picking the villa for April. We are also talking about tacking on a few days at Jost with this one - will you stay at the Sandcastle? That's what we're thinking, easy to drag yourself back to the room from the Soggy ;-) We were looking into Sandcastle...

Re: Trip Report 6/26-7/1 Part 3

Well you cant tell a story like that and not tell us what happened to the newbies that made them 30 min late. :D Looking forward to BVI tales. Sorry about that!

Trip Report 6/26-7/1 Part 3

We saw the usual suspects 030.JPG We also stopped at the outlooks. 031.JPG 035.JPG A...

Trip Report 6/26-7/1 Part 2

About the House: The House was really great for 8 people as it had a separate area from the house that housed 2 bedrooms with baths. The other 2 bedrooms were on the other end of the pool area so there was lots of privacy. The house was well maintained and clean and beautifully decorated So Tuesday ...
