Treasure Isle Hotel Tortola

... supermarket. She, her local knowledge and help make all the difference. You don't think about it in advance, but we had hours of extra free time over the course of our stay because Mariel was looking after the household for us, shopping, cleaning, making beds etc.; besides who wants to deal with these chores on holiday; at Elm Villa you don&#8217;t have to. She even cooked dinner for us one night!<br><br>The Villa itself is ...

... the ship's doctor stationed on the 4th deck. After a quick check up of blood pressure, etc.... I was given an needle of something plus sea sickness pills. :( Happy to report that after two hours, I felt better, not 100% myself but better. <br><br>Therefore, today, I stayed on board instead of visiting St. Thomas island. Since we were doing two cruises with Caribbean Princess - Southern &amp; Western being back to back, last week, we had the luxury ...

Dear Blog,<br><br>Welcome to Tortola, British Virgin Islands, home for sun worshippers and yachtmen alike. The constant winds along the Sir Francis Drake Channel make it ideal for sailing conditions while the secluded beaches, incredible vistas make the islands a wonderful place to visit. Well, here I am today ready to see all of this! The island was once known as a hideway for pirates and freebooters. Cool!<br><br>The British Virgin Islands ...

... 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 ...

... sie na drzemke. Pominelam tym razem zwiedzanie Tortoli - cos za cos. Ale impreza byla baardzo udana! ENGLISH: Good music, drinks and the obligated pajama - that`s what makes a Pajama party! What crazy night it was! My almost whole team was there, I wouldn`t recognize some of my coleauges when "in action" :). I can`t believe I couldn`t be bothered to go there at the ...

... because the winds outside were lovely. Our eldest daughter (22) and her new husband were in a one bedroom, new penthouse, after begging daddy for 2 months! I suppose it was a real treat to be staying in these villas. I had a lot of experience at other hotels in the Caribbean and there was always an issue with bugs and dirt, but this was the complete opposite and I felt completely at ease (being a germaphobic it took a lot to say that!) We called the front desk and inquired ...

... It don't even have a roof. Next day was all about health and how to get it back. Until we bumped into Glen's parents on Cane Garden beach. They are sailing through the islands having a serious Ball, so we had a hair of the dog and a laugh, then slithered off into our pit. Couple of days later, in which all we really did was share a cab into town with 3 American ladies rushing to hospital because one of them couldnt breathe, and ...

... of seats with 2 levels. We sat on the bottom level out of the sun. The ride to Virgin Gorda was about half an hour. Melissa and I dozed for part of it, and part of the time we just watched as we passed Tortola and other little islands all over the place. It was really gorgeous - a nice day, clear skies, beautiful blue water. Tortola, and other BVI, are less developed than St. Thomas and the USVI - I liked that. :) We arrive at Virgin Gorda and where the boat pulled in ...

Greetings from Marina Cay in the BVI! When last we wrote we were on our way out to Palominos an island off Fajardo that the El Conquistador resort uses as a beach, water sport and party venue. We picked up a mooring for the night and enjoyed being in the breeze instead of in a marina. On Tuesday the 22nd there was almost no wind and the seas had subsided sufficiently that we decided make our crossing to St. Thomas which was into the wind all the way. We dropped our ...

... and said our final farewells in the AM as the Dales headed back to Nanny Cay and a flight home and we headed back to the USVI. After checking back into the US at Cruz Bay we moved to Hawksnest Bay. The National Park Service has a requirement that yachts under 60 feet use moorings whenever they are available. Moorings on St. John are $15 per night. The beaches on St. John are so spectacular and with the holding tank requirements and the buoyed dinghy beach access points protecting the ...
