Did you look into flying into STT, then ferry to West End, Tortolla, taxi to Roadtown, then ferry to Virgin Gorda?

Guava berry is an excellent choice.

We found airfare lower in/out of STT. Our return, with a stay on STJ was similar.

Sounds good to me.

If you rent a car from Mahogany they will meet you at the ferry dock, so you don't have to take a taxi to Guavaberry (unless that is what you want).

I just love Guavaberry. It's my happy place :D .

At the moment, flying through STT is running a little higher for me. I don't plan to book airfare until some months from now, so i'll keep checking both routes.

It's good to know we can pick up our car at the ferry dock on VG.

If your dates hold we will miss you at Guavaberry by 2 days! Will be there the last week of July and STJ the first week of August! We adore Guavaberry and Mahogany is the easiest car rental we've ever had!

One more thing...Mahogany always meets us at the ferry dock right outside of customs. I would ask Michelle, Tina or Valerie about that...also when you leave you just park it there and leave the keys in it! So convenient!

45 minute layover in ATL...be prepared to RUN!!!! Even with using the express train, we barely made it and we had an hour layover. Why is it the terminal is ALWAYS at the other end!!!! :shock: Sounds like a wonderful trip. We have never made it to Virgin Gorda yet. Enjoy!

Yea, that 45 minute layover in Atlanta has me worried too. At the moment this is the quickest option. I may change to something with a longer layover if the price is comparable.

I've still got lots of time to watch airfares.
