Bob,

As one of those 'timeshare' people I throw no stones at anyone, but I really don't think the posters were being negative towards the cruisers as such, and I think Carol nailed the issues with regard to the taxis and buses. Our car rental agency is in Beacon Hill and we stayed there in April at BSV. In the afternoons it was terrible trying to get in and out of that area for just the reasons stated. And many times, the van buses will stop in the road blocking it and wait for all the returning passengers to hop on the bus, Gus. We found it very annoying to have to wait for that last straggler and it seemed there always at least one of them.

And on another note, as one who never much cared for this particular bar as a place to grab a snack or a light meal, we did stop for breakfast on our last morning on the island in April and it was very good - reasonably priced, courteously served and no complaints from this visitor at all.

We used to love the location and watching the planes land at night but sadly, that was one of those 'back in the day' pastimes before anyone realized what a gold mine they had and it, too, was allowed to be over-developed. No more quiet little interludes at the end of the beach watching the planes come in and enjoying the tranquility. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
