It seems like so long since our last trip as we've had a lot going on with a new baby.. Tomorrow he turns 6 months and we head out mid day to San Juan and then off to Tortola.

Bags are packed and full! More stuff then we've ever brought, which is saying a lot since we usually bring our dive gear. Without the dive gear, we're bringing 1 additional bag still. It's a good thing we're on a cat with lots of storage space!

Looking forward to my sister and Beerman and family catching up to us on Sunday!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I know we will!

Sounds wonderful, enjoy yourself selfishly and on behalf of your thousand closest friends.

Thanks, we'll post some updates along the way.

Now we just need to figure out how to deal with 4 rolling bags while pushing a stroller.. I think I have a solution - I'm just going to strap one roller to a bigger one and roll them in tandem <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Some bags included straps for that purpose. Good luck.

Porters/sky-caps in airports, extra tips to taxi-drivers for help with bags.

Sending also some good thoughts for the unexpected kindnesses of fellow travelers.

So far so good. The bags ended up being easier than I thought and eye in the air and he's doing great! Taking a nap now.

That was my first thought as well. I never understood porters, bellhops, etc. until I started travelling with a baby. Also private taxi services.

I now have our favorite STT van driver and porter phone #s in my phone AND penciled into our passports.

Keep an eye out for us. Week be in St John for Monday night and Tuesday night most likely, but then back in the BVI. We're at leverick Saturday the 15th.

Finally got off the dock today around noon. Sitting at Norman now for lunch. Conner is doing great and having a fun time looking at everything! Slept through our trip from road town to Norman.

We had a great day today! Conner loved the water! He enjoys it at home too, but clearly preferred the warm temp here! I took a number of pictures, but he was more interested in looking around than at me.
