Hi
Hi
Hi Everyone
A long time lurker here
I just wanted to thank you all for the fantastic information and advice you all give.
I am just putting the finishing touches to my trip its just me and my husband both in our early 40s
I am really looking forward to my first time in the Virgin Islands and this is what we have booked so far.
US Airlines flight from London to Miami 13th Dec 4 nights in South Beach.
AA flight Miami to St Thomas arriving 3:25pm 17th Dec ferry straight to St John (hopefully from CA depending in arrival time) we are being met by L&L Jeep rental from the ferry and we are staying in Sailview B&B in Coral Bay for 7 nights.
We have booked a try dive with Low Key and if all goes OK we are going to try and pass the PADI course.
I have ordered "Feet,fins and four-wheel drive" to help work out where to go when.
Then off to Tortola 23rd Dec for 7 nights at the Heritage Inn collecting car from West End booked with International motors and we have ordered "The best of the British Virgin Islands" for info and if we pass our course we will do some more diving here.
Then ferry to St Thomas 30th Dec staying in The Galleon B&B for New years and back home on 3rd Jan.
Hubby is a keen fisherman so I expect cover some other days activity wise, but other than snorkeling
and lazing I wonder if anyone has any other suggestions.
Thanks all
Nikki

Hi Pia
I have been to the Coventry area a few times with work and funny enough we purchased our parrot from a breeder there.
I am really looking forward to my stay in Sailview
I looked long and hard and although we would have loved to rent a villa the prices with just 2 of us
were just too much.
Sailview looks lovely on the photos and Eileen has been so helpful I cant wait.
Hi Teresa
Lucky for us both of our companies close for Christmas
and New Year so we can spare the holiday time.

Welcome to the Forum.
We went with Low Key in May and were totally satisfied. Diana went into the PADI course with great reservations and an interest in diving "no more than 30 feet or so." During her first dive after certification, the dive master had to call her back when she went down to 75 feet on her own. They will make you totally comfortable with diving before you are done. Ellen taught most of our class and Andy finished it up. Plan on completing the PADI course and getting certified. You will be hooked.
Have a great time and send us some trip reports.
