Nanny Cay Resort Marina Road Town

... I am unable to comment on the quality of the sushi itself because the whole experience was completely soured by the offensive and obnoxious host/owner, a Scot called Alan. Honestly, this man needs a crash course in customer service - he is downright rude, and unless somebody can give me a very, very good reason to make a return visit, I shall not! It's a real shame because I believe he could have made a really good go of it.

... which, at the end of the day, is the highest praise of all.

The Villa does not pop up straight away when searching for a place to rent on Tortola. In fact I found it on the very last day of my search, as I was about to sign up for another place. You can find their direct website at the following link:

Dear Blog,

Here we are today at St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. The ship made its way into port at 7:00am this morning under beautiful tropical weather.

Today, I was supposed to experience the best of St. Thomas on a scenic drive combined with a beach, historical and shopping excursion. However, since I woke up this morning with a terrible motion sickness feeling and that I felt quite dizzy, I just couldn't go. Instead, I paid a visit to ...

... mouth dropping! I have never seen a beach like this before. These big huge boulders, some the sizes of houses were bordering the beach. It was absolutely extraordinary beautiful!

The waves of the sea were quite high as they were being smashed along the boulders by the force of nature. Mi just couldn't resist it. Off he went, jumped right in the middle of the beach, started swimming and being pushed ashore by these waves whereas me ...

... of which our Caribbean Princess cruise ship could be seen. The views were outstanding.

We then continued to Mountain Top, the highest point of the island and home of the world-famous banana daiquiri. Once there, we made our way through the building and proceeded to walk next to several shops before arriving to a door that led us outside to a deck. A spectacular view was opening in ...

... strict confidentiality agreement. However, the press does know about a major social event that happened on that date in that location. I'd love to plug the resort where we stayed as it was completely divine - amazing infrastructure, location and gastronomy. The hotel grounds were the entire middle section of an island surrounded by three separate bodies of water, and bikes, boats, snorkelling gear and an ipod were available with each room. The restaurant served totally top ...

... filled with charterers. Seemed like a long ride to the airport. We checked in for San Juan, then paid our departure tax. Knowing it was a short walk to Trellis Bay, we went there with the kids, then left them there to have lunch, relax, for an hour or two before their flight. Meanwhile, Paul and I returned to the airport, to discover they were "boarding" our flight 45 minutes early. Knowing that they were really just ...

... belching white smoke. He made a few adjustments, then sent us on our way.

With only Pas, Paul, and I awake, we decided to set sail for the Baths on Virgin Gorda. We pulled away from our mooring, then, once clear of the other vessels, turned up into the wind to raise the sail. But, we immeidately encountered trouble, as the halyard became entangled in the basket line. Sigh. Seems to happen every time.

We did eventually get all sails up and were able to start our run ...

... not start yet. Now that we are back to school again we have to concentrate on getting everything done in time. It leaves us with less time to play and that is something to focus on so we can get done earlier in the day. We might start swimming lessons with daddy today and I am looking forward to that. Being back on the boat is really fun but school is the opposite. I enjoyed my break from schoolwork. Thursday October 20, 2005 -Culebra Island, Puerto Rico - Karen Hello ...
