Re: Ferry service to Virgin Gorda

gibber161: Thanks a lot for reminding me of that direct ferry service. When we visited the Baths many years ago, we did so as part of a multi-day BVI visit, with a stay on Tortola, and a subsequent ferry from Road Town to Virgin Gorda and back. As villa owners, we field regular inquiries from upcom...

Re: Ferry service to Virgin Gorda

Okay, memories a little fuzzy on the time it takes to get to Virgin Gorda, :? :? but even with a quick stop in Tortola, I believe we got to Virgin Gorda within 2 hours. :) :) Customs closes at 4:30pm or 5:00pm in Cruz Bay, St. John. The ferry leaves Virgin Gorda at 3:00pm with no stops on the way ba...

The ferry leaves Virgin Gorda at 3:00pm for Cruz Bay, St. John. We took a open air taxi from Customs to the entranc...

Re: First Drink?

The first drink is the shot from the Rum Lady in the airport. We always rent a car on St. Thomas and do our shopping at the Food Center in Red Hook. We purchase a cold six pack of Presidente's and enjoy a cold one on the car ferry over to St. John. 8) However, one year we forgot to buy a bottle open...

Re: What food do you bring?

Steaks and boneless chicken breast. I will wrap them in saran wrap, then newspaper and then put them into a gallon size zip lock bag. I put them in my backpack and stow them under my seat for the flight. We have never had a problem with TSA and the steaks and chicken never leave my sight. :D

Re: Budget Car Rental

I for one have not had a problem renting from Budget...6 times in the last 10 years. It is so much easier to walk to the counter and get your keys and pick up your vehicle in the parking lot adjacent to the airport. Returning the vehicle is just as easy, park in the lot, see the attendant and have h...

Re: Carry on question?

When we flew Amercian out of Boston Logan, there was a TSA agent going up and down the line and pulling people out and checking their carry-on luggage to see if it would fit into that metal rack that they use. So be aware, they are checking. :)
