Thoughts/short report trip to BVIs

Thanks for the great report with fabulous photos!!
Your Anegada photos reminded me of the atolls we visited in the South Pacific. Although we love dramatic scenery of volcanic islands, we also have enjoyed the simplicity that certain atolls of flat land brought to us with no room key, TV, AC, or phone (not even fresh water from faucets – I admit that it was a little hard to enjoy). When I asked a local person about crime, he kinda laughed about it, which was quite refreshing. Feel good to know those places still exist for us to visit...

How do you get those vivid colors in your photos?

Beautiful pics..thanks for sharing..... we visited Anegada last year while on Tortola..it was lovely and oh so quiet. We were the only people on the beach! Had a great lunch and spent the day at the Big Bamboo Restaurant and Bar (and beach) on Loblolly Bay. Sadly, the seas were rough and we couldn't snorkel.

We too, have been to Bequia as we were married 2 years ago in Grenada and explored the Grenadines. We honeymooned in Carriacou which as perfect and quiet as well.

We're headed to STJ for the 1st time in 2 weeks and can't wait:)

Thank you for all the compliments, guys. We had a great time, and it is forums like this one that make learning/sharing so much fun. There is lots more to tell, but it is so hard to convey what a place is actually like in words and pictures. I was inspired to visit these places by seeing reports from people on this board and others (especially jmq!). My wife would move down there tomorrow if I'd say the word. I'm not kidding about that.

Whatever the word is, Ken...say it!

You only go through life once...make it a good one! No regrets, and no looking back.

Great report and Pics

My honey really wants to do Virgin Gorda may have to give it a try when we've discovered all of St. John.

Great report and beautiful pictures. Both Virgin Gorda and Anegada are on my list! It will be a few years, but I really enjoyed an early taste of it through your report.

Nice report and fantastic pictures. Makes you want to go NOW!!

We also like both St John and BVI. Are going back to Virgin Gorda in late April and we always stay in Guvaberry. Such a wonderful place. This year we will also make a daytrip to Anegada.

Thanks for sharing your trip and photos.

Looking at those pictures you just can't believe that there is a place on earth so beautiful! Thanks for sharing your report and pics...I will return to this when I'm tired of the cold weather and I need something to warm me up!

I loved hearing your details about Anageda---one place we have not yet visited. Would you stay in those cottages again? Or did you see something else you thought you might prefer?

Beautiful photographs. Thx.
