USVI-On-Line

Hi Bill,

We went on the trip when my son was about 7 months old, and it was our first time to leave him at home with the grandparents - so we tried to get in and out quickly. I have FF miles with Delta from work, so we flew into Barbados and then took SVG Air from there directly to Bequia. Certainly a ferry from St. Vincent seems to be the most common method of getting to Bequia. I believe our connection was through Atlanta, and I'm also not sure that Delta still has service to Barbados (when I checked last year, they had terminated the service). You can also take LIAT from Barbados to St. Vincent and then the ferry.

Do you eat fish? Sorry if that is a dumb question, but if you eat fish, you will find it everywhere. I'm guessing you can also find Roti's at many places with potatoes. There is also a vegetable market right near the almond tree downtown, and it is a big one. So if you have a kitchen, you should be able to get things together. I just checked the Frangipani hotel's restaurant menu, and they have a number of pasta dishes that I'm sure you could order without the chicken. We loved eating there.

I'm thinking of planning another trip. Gotta figure out now how to get there on Delta...

Hello again Ken,

Thanks for your response. You answered my next question. meant to ask you if there was a grocery store in town. We don't eat fish, but you are right, we can usually find a great roti. We find that family run restaurants are usually fine about putting together a vegetable dish. Always a great meal. As long as there is a grocery store nearby, we will do alright.

Will check out Delta as well. Wondering if flying into San Juan first is a way to go?

Thanks!

Bill
