... clearly have small children and the Villa is set up with this in mind. The decks are child safe and the pool area secure from the house. Beyond that the entire outdoor area is walled off, so there is no possibility for the children to leave the Villa unattended. This is a great comfort and removes a big source of stress from your holiday if you have small children; they can’t fall, drown or escape so long as you keep the ...

After 3 weeks at the Rudwell's holiday cottage in Florida and glorious respite from being on the road, we headed towards the Virgin Islands (catching up with family friends in Ft Lauderdale along the way). We met up with my Dad and Lulu who we hadn't seen since we crossed the Atlantic, for now what seems many moons ago (although it was only 6 months previous). Lulu appeared to remember us as we were greeted with a thousand licks and ...

... week. Goodbyes were exchanged with our dear British friends that we made during the last two weeks at our 2nd dinner seating and to other friends made on the ship.<br><br>Being our last evening on board of Caribbean Princess, regretfully, we retreated to our room early in the evening in order to start packing in preparation of tomorrow's disembarkation day. We were informed by Princess that all of our luggages had to be outside the room's door by ...

... and history of the BVI's. Unfortunately, I did not go, being a bit tired and motion sick. I guess, not having any more motion sickness patches, the gentle rocking of the ship at night is probably getting to me after two weeks. :( As for Mi, he is always up and running!. As the old saying is: He keeps going and going and going....<br><br>By noon, I was quite fine and ready for my afternoon's tour after having had a nice lunch on board the ...

... on the port by 8:30am.<br><br>The US Virgin Islands, which are comprised of several small islands, are America's paradise and offers a blend of island ways and American customs. The capital of St. Thomas is Charlotte Amalie and the island is 40 miles east of Puerto Rico. The island has stunning views with crystalline waters, white sandy beaches and palms trees. Its northern coast borders the ...

... our luggage. At that point, I was ready to sleep in the airport, especially since I had nothing to protect me from the cold outdoors! But we made it, and spent a few short hours sleeping in a room in the process of being remodeled (no running water in the bathroom, one phone worked, the toilet stopped flushing, etc.) but I guess it could have been worse. The lady at check in the next morning could have succeeded on re-booking me on a flight to NY instead of MN!

... after the passage of a very strong cold front. The plan was that the cold front would race out in front of us to the northeast and we hoped to follow in the good weather behind. However, Mother Nature had a different plan. The front stalled just east of the Gulf Stream which created strong northwesterly winds pushing against the strong southeasterly Gulf Stream current. The winds rapidly built to the mid-20s range with the wind-created ...

... bigger and go so deep. We saw lots of neat fish, and neat passage ways to go between the boulders. You can climb up onto some of them for the baths. It was really an amazing place. I wish our time wasn't so short. But it was, so we headed back to the bigger beach, and I grabbed my camera and ran into the caves again for a few quick pictures, took pictures of the other beach, and we hiked back up. We had a few minutes to stop at the shops at the top - I bought a little ...

... We were only mildly concerned because we assumed they would leave at dusk and head into Great Harbor for an evening at Foxy's. No such luck! When we realized that they intended to stay exactly where they were and leaving no swing room toward us or the boat behind them, Al reluctantly dinghied over to have a discussion. He was amazed when he was told they had put down a 3 to 1 scope and one of the women aboard assured him "but our anchor is really well dug in". Al ...
