Welp, I've gone and done it. I've booked a charter for Easter week <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />
I have some concerns about the end of the charter. As it's currently scheduled, our charter ends on Easter Sunday. Due to the holiday, will we have any difficulty getting from the Voyage base to EIS? Will the airport still be at full function? Are there any other difficulties that some have experienced on that holiday?
We're also planning to be in the JVD/CGB area on Good Friday. Do many places typically close? Where is a good location for that day?
Thanks in advance for any advice or tips. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

You will have no trouble arranging a taxi to EIS, just ask your charter company to have one waiting at a certain time (Book in advance!) Almost ALL restaurants will be open, I would not worry about that. Last year, in Sopers Hole, at the supermarket, I believe they were still selling alcohol to tourists, just not to the locals. All in all, it is not too disruptive.. Enjoy your trip!

Norman Island - Pirates and the Willy T were open and serving when we arrived on a Good Friday a couple of years ago. Riteway was pretty crazy Thursday night with lots of locals stocking up for the weekend. But very well stocked even by 8pm.
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

I would think the Easter Monday would be a tougher day to travel. why? That is our travel home day!!! What should I be concerned about?... Besides the hangover from being in BVI for 2 weeks <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

No alcohol meaning no beer as well, correct?
Oops - old thread...

Tpchandler9 said: Years ago, my buddy and I pulled into Key West at about 11:15 on a Sunday morning. First bar we headed to (Willy T's) politely informed us that the blue laws prohibited alcohol sales before noon on Sundays. So, we sat, sipped coffee, and, at exactly 12:00PM, requested two shots of Sambuca to kick off the day.
If you wanna see a repeat of that adventure, look for me at 5:59 next Friday at the Elm. Next Friday isn't Good Friday.
