Back from an amazing week. And again you guys on this forum are a great resource. Thank you. 4 couples, 2 newbies. One couples first time to get a passport. And we are all still talking!
I know we all hear so many customer service stories about the islands so thought you should hear all our " Great service stories"
We had not used Voyage Charters before and found them to be amazing. Great service, really treated us well. Not one of many heading out today." Holo Holo" was a great boat. A problem with the dingy the first day but they came out and took care of us. Soggy Dollar will have to wait until next trip.
We used Island Surf and Sail for water toys and fishing equipment. Really nice people everything delivered to the boat on time and picked up for us.
Provisioned with Rite Way and Tico's and both were accurate and on time. Picked up a few things at Harbor Market ourselves, a great little store.
We were able to dive twice with Dive BVI and cannot recommend them enough. Professional, friendly, nice equipment and really took care of our fairly novice group of 4. Becca is amazing. We met them at their Scrub island store for the first dive and also did a rendezvous dive from Cooper.
Leverick Bay always fantastic Nick arranged a safari jeep for us. Thanks Nick! And a young man named Leroy was always there to help us out, super nice guy.
Went to Hog Heaven for the first time. loved it! The view, the food and the service.
The new restaurant on Norman is beautiful and Lucy took great care of us!
Marina Cay, love that place. The history and the beauty.
Cooper island still just a slice of heaven!
At the end of our week one of our Newbies summed it up best. " Every vacation I take from now on will SUCK if I am not here!
" Says it all I guess. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Totally agree with your Newbie! Here I am watching all the vacationers invade our mountain town for the World Skiing Championships and all I want to do is go to the BVI!

Yes really great. I did forget to include Kevin's taxi in St. Thomas. Great guys really took care of us. Thought we were going to have a tight connection as it was the ferry was delayed and he called ahead to hold tickets for us. Class act all the way.

We just got back last night and though we've been there multiple times, we did a few new things, thanks in no small part to info from here (and some FB pages.) For example the safari bus tour of VG and also the Bee Line on Little Jost. Can't say enough about Hog Heaven...what a view! I didn't eat there but some of the crew did and loved it.

We are doing a bareboat charter the 2nd week of May. I keep reading about renting a vehicle in Leverick. I have read about Nick setting up the rental. Can someone tell me how to get a hold of him? We need something that will hold 8 people. Also do I have to make reservation for a slip for overnight?
