My contribution regarding what's new in the past 14 years:

1. A very large cruise ship dock and shoreside facility now exists in Road Town, (beside the administration building) ... allowing cruise ships with upwards of 6000 people aboard to dock.

2. Road Town is a lot busier with several new buildings sprinkled throughout and a lot more traffic. There is also a newish shopping area for tourists called Craft's Alive, near Pussers.

3. There are a couple of street lights in Road Town now.

4. There are several new restaurants in Road Town.

5. Nanny Cay has expanded and is in the process of expanding again. Several new condos were built there. Peg Leg's restaurant is still there but is now operated by Nanny Cay.

6. Soper's Hole remains pretty much the same, but The Jolly Roger is no longer owned by Lou and Kay Schwartz. It is now called Fish N' Lime and is owned by Ewan and Heather Anderson of Willie T fame. Lou is now semi-retired.

7. A new coffee shop (breakfast place) opened in Soper's Hole named D' Best Cup and is one of my favourite haunts. Pusser's is still there too.

8. A new Italian restaurant named Scaramouche opened in Soper's Hole about three years ago. Great spot!

9. Brandywine Bay Restaurant is no longer run by Cele and Davide, it has been taken over by a French Chef and his wife. It's wonderful.

10. The government has been building a beach at Brandywine ... forever it seems. Plans are to take cruise ship passengers there to alleviate some of the pressure on Cane Garden Bay and other beaches that get thousands dropped off at a time.

11. Fat Hog Bob's closed down in East End. It was taken over by Pussers, but that too closed.

12. Trellis Bay remains relatively unchanged ... for the time being. Jeremy Wright (owner of the Trellis Bay CyberCafe) passed away in early 2014. There is a new restaurant there called Jeremy's Kitchen run by a young lady who used to work at TMM.

13. Cane Garden Bay has seen many changes. Stanley's is now Tony's (very popular) and has a bar directly situated on the beach. Quito's has expanded a couple of times and is unrecognizable from the old place, but Quito and his band still play. Pouie Callwood (De Wedding Bar & Restaurant) passed away and his sons are now running the place. Other restaurants have opened and closed. The Big Banana is now the Paradise Club Sports Bar & Grill.

The roads on Tortola are in pretty bad shape ... so nothing new there.

14. There are a lot of new restaurants in White Bay on Jost Van Dyke not the least of which is Hendo's Hideout, right beside the Soggy Dollar. It is a very impressive, higher-end restaurant and bar. The Soggy Dollar has become more of a pit stop for day trippers from the USVI and is often very, very busy. Ivan's had to be torn down and rebuilt. It is much bigger now.

15. Great Harbour has changed too with several more restaurants having opened. Rudy has retired (sort of) and his son Randy is now running the business. He has updated both the store and the restaurant. It is definitely worth a stop there.

16. I don't think Foxy's Taboo was built 14 years ago ... but if it was, it would have been brand new. It is located at Diamond Cay near the Bubbly Pool. and of course the B-Line Bar on Little Jost Van Dyke would be new to you as well.

17. Norman Island has changed substantially and there are now two restaurants there. The Bight and The Club. Food is excellent. Drinks are very pricey. The Willy T keeps ticking along.

18. The Cooper Island Beach Club has changed hands and has been updated a couple of times in recent years. It is a lovely spot and they even have a micro-brewery there now!

19. The Baths are almost always busy nowadays ... and there is now a restaurant on the beach. The government has done a lot of work at Spring Bay beach and I actually prefer it there to the Baths. Great spot to Bar-B-Q and swim.

20. Little Dix Bay Resort is now closed for a multi-million dollar renovation and will remain closed until late 2017.

19. Richard Branson's Necker Island burned down and has been rebuilt. He also bought Moskito Island and has built a family compound there, so the old Drake's Anchorage is no more. Other high-end folks have bought land on Moskito Island and it is slowly being developed too.

20. The North Sound and areas nearby have seen a lot of changes. A great new restaurant overlooking the North Sound was built a few years back called Hog Heaven. Definitely worth the effort to get there. The views are spectacular and their ribs and chicken are both terrific. Service is a little hit and miss.

21. Saba Rock has improved tremendously and is also a great spot to stop ... particularly around happy hour.

22. Biras Creek Resort has closed down. YCCS (Yacht Club Costa Smeralda) owned by his Royal Highness the Aga Khan (aka Prince Shah Karim Al Husseini) was opened in 2012. It is located beside Biras Creek and was designed to accommodate mega yachts.

23. A high-end resort development was opened in 2013 (I think) at the North East tip of Virgin Gorda called Oil Nut Bay.

24. Mooring ball costs are now anywhere from $30.00 to $60.00 per night, depending on where you stay.

25. Riteway built a new store at Pasea Estate (in Road Town) right beside the old store. It is much larger and the selection has been broadened.

26. Anegada has a couple of new restaurants too!

There's more, but I have to get some work done!
