Geo: 18.3389, -64.9663We left the Rosewood on Virgin Gorda today at 2:00 pm, and caught the 3:00 ferry to St Johns, and then on to St Thomas. We just arrived at the Crystal Palace Bed and Breakfast. It is a huge departure from where we spent the last 4 days. The Crystal Palace was built in the 1930's and not a lot has been done to it. The rooms are huge and the ceilings are 10' high. The owner is a friendly old guy with 2 big Labradors; 1 yellow and 1 black. He is going to drive us to the airport tomorrow to catch our 4:45 flight. We are supposed to arrive back in Richmond tomorrow at 11:25 pm (through Charlotte).... read more

Geo: 18.4451, -64.4376We left Tortola behind this morning via a 30 minute ferry to Virgin Gorda. Personnel from our hotel, Rosewood at Little Dix Bay, were waiting when we exited the ferry. After a 5-minute ride, we arrived at the resort. It is definitely top shelf. We lounged on the beach about 100 feet from our room until our heads cleared from the Full Moon Party the night before. One of 3 restaurants on the resort property, the Beach Grill, is about 150 feet from our room. After lunch, we sailed around the bay on a Hobie Cat.After happy hour on our patio, complete with fresh strawberries that were delivered to our room, we had dinner at the Sugar Mill Restaurant which is the Rosewood's fine dining restaurant.The Rosewood will be home through Saturday.... read more

Geo: 18.405, -64.6744We stayed at the Sugar Mill Hotel in Little Apple Bay, Tortola for 3 days. It was a nice relaxing stay. On our second day, Monday, we took a taxi to Road Town to check that out. It is the most populated city in the BVI, and is their center for commerce and government. It was worth a visit but you don't need to spend much time there.On Tuesday, we took a taxi to Mount Sage National Park. Mount Sage is the highest point in The Virgin Islands with an elevation of 1716 feet. We took a 3 mile hike through the park and were the only ones on the trail. There were a couple of fantastic views.Tuesday was also a full moon, so we planned to go to the Full Moon Party at ... read more
