This was a really fun read and I appreciate you sharing in such detail. I wish I could teleport to Orange Fever.

It seems like every few months they post something on socials taunting a big come back, and then it goes radio silent again for a few months. I hope they do reopen; we enjoyed the place last year and missed visiting this year.

The E175 used on the route requires a minimum headwind and a dry runway to depart non stop to Miami. Even with those conditions they need to restrict the weight. Currently they are only booking the flight outbound to 60 people. The aircraft has 76 seats which is the max passenger load American is allowed to sub contract to outside airlines. Normally the aircraft would seat 82 to 86. They are running it at less than ¾ capacity.
The route however is very profitable with the current fare structure.

Scott, we love the sushi at LaPlaya. We usually get the sashimi platter and a couple of rolls and it’s a feast .

We were at La Playa last month on 3 separate days where they had a big truck that scooped up all the seaweed about midmorning along La Playa and one or two of the other beaches if you’re staring at the water to the left, I’m not sure sure what those beachfront names are any longer.

I haven't had issues without the housing (yet) and this I am going on trip #3 with it. That said, it's great for not worrying about it with sand and water at the beach but hasn't been the best at UW. I think you nailed the reason being the lens. I will look into the wide angle. Thanks! Look forward to more of your pics. smile

I was pleasantly surprised by the airfare - About $140 less for the 2025 tickets, as opposed to the price that I paid for the tickets in 2024. I should actually say ticket, as I was able to get my wife's ticket using points - just had to pay the $96 or so in taxes.
Since the Air B&B studio that we had rented for the past three seasons at Residence Les Lataniers was no longer available, we rented a ground floor studio at Alamanda. Cost a few $ more, but it is newer and a bit closer to the beach.


We found flights more for March 2025 than we paid for March 2024 so you were lucky to save $140.

Used to walk tp to the French drummer that played with Bob and would take over drumming in the middle of a song and it may be 2 or 3 songs before they knew we switched drummers. 😀😀😀

That’s exactly how I tie up at Cooper or other places where backwinding is likely. Not only do you have a quiet peaceful night but it minimizes your swinging room. Nothing worse than something pounding your stateroom like a bass drum!

It became how a credit card using the benefits can help your travel, not much of a tangent.

Absolutely agree with VGR, RM wife and Manpot. No Scrub for us and after a subpar experience at Marina Cay this past trip (just got home last night), we will grab a MC ball and snorkel Diamond but cook on the boat.

St MartinFan--yes, we have done a grocery run and Mark's run at the same time. They definitely do a huge takeout business.

We arrived yesterday on American at 1:30.Touchdown to walking out the door was an hour and ten minutes. Waiting for the bags took the most time. They were still putting out West jet's bags when we got to baggage claim.

There is currently no dinghy line. Two of us took the dinghy and the other two kayaked out. It was a very calm afternoon. We tied the kayak to the dinghy and took turns staying with the dinghy while the others snorkeled.

There used to be a dinghy line, but it no longer exists.

Thanks David. I'll keep that in mind for next time if needed. I finally made a decision and booked Horny Toad.

My experience was similar to Fabila's. I'm not a prude but found his requirements for measuring for the suit invasive and unnecessarily intimate. Thought my husband was going to take a swing at him. My husband apologized to me afterwards, as he had been the one to suggest I get a custom-made suit. It wasn't a particularly good fit.

Last suit I bought came from Costco. It was stretched out over a cardboard body-shape. Caused a few laughs as I took it to the car in the shopping cart!

We visited Desert Sun in Palm Springs from April 25 to April 30, 2024. Open for business and still clothing-optional.

Check out VOYAGE Charters out of Sopers Hole. Family owned and operated, best yachts in the business and the customer service is unmatched. They have agents that actually live in the BVI so they know all the boats and crew extremely well. Clare handles our bookings, her email is clare@voyagecharters.com

barry--no problem, but that really is a shame that Rainbow scr*ws that whole area, because of the noise.

Lancer--OK, that is disappointing, so you went to Miami and had to go down to purgatory to leave. IF you leave via a jetway upstairs, it is a much different experience.
