All good things must come to an end, and so we reach Part Five of our BVI Trip Report. Part Five takes us to the island of Virgin Gorda, the third largest of the islands in the British Virgin Islands and the second most populated. We arranged this trip through Dive BVI, as we did our trip to Anegada. Our guides for this trip were Tara from London, whom you may recall from our Anegada trip, and Brian, who was from a small village in Ireland. Bryan told us he kissed the Blarney Stone twice, and I believe it. He was a great storyteller, and we had a great day…

It’s time for a road trip, island style, as we take a day trip to Anegada. Anegada is a bit unlike its companions in the British Virgin Islands. Unlike the other inhabited islands in the BVI chain which are volcanic in origin and mountainous in appearance, Anegada is composed of coral and limestone. The terrain is so close to sea level that it’s difficult to spot it at a distance without the assistance of the the palm trees. Its highest point is only 28 feet above sea level. Anegada is also a bit farther out from the other islands, approximately 15 miles north of Virgin Gorda. I put together this…

Part Three of our BVI trip report takes us to Tortola, or more accurately, Beef Island and Tortola. When you fly into Terrance B. Lettsome Airport in Tortola (Airport Code: EIS), you are actually flying into Beef Island, a small island just east of Tortola. The two islands are connected by a bridge. Beef Island is home to Trellis Bay, within throwing distance of the airport, where you can catch a boat to other islands. Trellis Bay is also home to a number of shops and restaurants worthy of a special trip themselves. On our nine-day trip, we visited Trellis Bay several times to shop, eat, and knock down a…

We have visited Anguilla three times, in 2007, 2009, and 2010. We stayed at The CuisinArt the first year, Meads Bay Beach Villas in 2009, and Anacaona in 2010. Meads Bay Beach Villas had the most luxurious accommodations, hands down. The four villas are staggered back from the beach, so Villa #1 is right on the beach and #2 is just behind and off to the east of #1, and so on. We preferred Villa #2 because it is set back a little bit from the beach, and felt a more private. The villas are located just next to Frangipani resort, where Straw Hat restaurant is now located. You are…

“Just One Day” takes us to Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos Islands. The Turks & Caicos Islands include 40 islands and cays, eight of which are inhabited. Grand Turk is the center of government for the islands, but the islands are probably best known for the island of Providenciales, home to what is often regarded as one of the best beaches in the world, Grace Bay Beach. You had better believe that this day includes beach time, and loads of it, but it also includes some great food along the way. Let’s start the day with a good breakfast at Bay Bistro. Bay Bistro is located in the Sibonne…
