GeorgiaTing said: We too did our first kid trip about 3 years ago two boys 9 and 11 then. This was after a decade plus of adult trips. We are now on our 4th trip we leave 6/1/15.
2. Scrub was great – we docked up so they could use the pool. I think you can still do that. I heard things may have changed a little.
3. We also docked up at BEYC, again to make it easier for the boys to explore and use of the facilities and equipment.
4. I’m not sure of your dates but keep in mind the full moon party at Trellis. They had an absolute blast!
Things to think about:
1. From one of our trips to the Northern Grenadines I had some EC coins left over. So when we were snorkeling the caves at Norman and were on shore near the opening with the moss hanging I dropped the coins on a rock. When they finally fell upon them they freaked out! They thought it was treasure. That is until the oldest said “hey this coin says 1987?” should have scratched off the date. Oh well it was still fun!
2. Geocaching – get the app, there are about a half a dozen geocaches in and around the islands. This is like a real treasure hunt.
3. Be sure to Treasure Island book after the caves they may want to read it.
4. I know many are anti-electronics on these trips and on this trip they are bringing their GoPro and making a video. They watch Delos and LaVagabond on you tube and want to make their own video. So I’m bringing a laptop.
6. We do bring travel games and cards. This trip we will learn to play GO.
You have no choice as this trip will be a BLAST!
Tim Thanks GeorgiaTing (Where r u in GA?) Awesome ideas. When you say dock up, do you mean pay for a slip, or rent a room? Did you do this as an advance res? I'm assuming if you rent a slip, you can have use of facilities? At BEYC, does this include water activities (SUP, kayak, Hobies, etc?) What's to do at scrub, besides pool? Is it a cool place to check out? We will also bring a go pro and a drone this time...that should be entertaining for them! We did a week in the Exumas at Staniel Cay Yacht Club last year, brought the electronics, and were pleasantly surprised at how little they were used...they preferred ring toss, paddle boarding and the daily nurse shark encounters to their devices! Love it! Love the geocaching/scavenger hunt and coins...will do these as well. Missing the full moon by a few days...never have made that unfortunately! They are dying to get scuba certified before the trip, but we may run out of time...they do love to snorkel! Please shoot me a line here on TTOL after your trip if you encounter something fantastic we need to do! THANKS for ALL the tips!! Have a great trip!
