First year we went was 2021. We loved it. Went once or twice a year for quite a while. After what's his name from Michigan took over we started to hate it. They were just sucking it dry for Oil Nut Bay.
That is when we started renting a villa in Nail Bay. Quieter and we stayed longer.

It's been a while for me, but lately I've been having the urge to go back to Grenada. I've done both sailing charters and land-based trips. This time around, it would be land. I second La Sagesse and True Blue -- though the beach at True Blue is not as nice as others. In particular I've been eyeing La Luna on the southwest side of the island near Morne Rouge (aka "BBC Beach").

You might also look at the L'anse Aux Epines (Prickly Bay) area.

Would love to hear what you decide on.

Thanks for the replies. We are locked into our timeline due to our daughter's college break schedule. Will try to do as much pre-planning as possible, though I'm sure we will also have exercise plenty of patience and be flexible.

On that note, my daughter's flight was already significantly changed by American Airlines after booking in just a few days ago. Had her flying SLC>MIA>EIS, but now the SLC>MIA flight is cancelled and she is getting routed through DFW. Still getting there the same day, but a longer travel day and arriving 10:00PM rather than around noon.

PerIwinkle, Great to see you on here again. Karyl and I don't get to go down there anymore but hold many wonderful memories of our trips and TTOL parties, both on island and here in the US. I don't post very much as I don't feel I have relevant info as it's been so long since our last visit, but I continue to 'lurk' if just to see what old friends are saying.

Cheers,
Fran

I get the don't go when the cruise ships go, same thing we avoid on SXM in different areas, thanks for pointing that out.

I like the AC Taxi idea, key thing on this trip for us is to see if it is a place we would like to go back to. Someday we do plan on doing a sailing charter around the BVI's.

I just want to relax, eat and drink.

Never said there was a charge to be a member, sorry that my comment seemed to indicate this. But as your reply states Members help each other, and we used to get some benefits from other members for being TTOL members at various locations....esp Leverick.

have great memory of Flying Iguana with our kids. Really good food there as well, not to mention the unique location of being at the airport.

Go have cocktails or lunch at Top o the Baths and walk through the gate and head down the "old way."

We no longer go to the Baths, and instead head to the national park if we wish to head that way. We typically prefer to spend time at Fallen Jerusalem instead.

Bring back the BVI VIP program and reward those who come down regularly, not the wealthy visitors!

We're considering a week or two visit to visit the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Sedona, etc., and looking at Flagstaff as a "base camp". We have very little experience renting an Airbnb, but that's what we're looking at now. Anyone here have any actual experience with an Airbnb in Flagstaff?

What day of the week? If not Saturday they should be fine. Better than fine if carryon only.

Various photos by Jeannius. Flotilla from possibly 2009 and unknown location but think it is Apple Bay

Two quick questions.

1. Has anyone been there since the reopening last month? Thoughts if you have.
2. Does the pool get afternoon sun?

Thanks.

It certainly looks like the game was over to me. Having graduated from a MAC school myself, I feel for Western MIchigan fans. Of course, based on what's going on in college football these days, I'm kind of glad that I don't really follow it anymore. At least with the pros, I know it's all about money.

Follow up post, we mailed them on Monday August 24th, and following the track info they didn't get delivered until the following Monday, August 31. We did pay the expedited fee, only because we are leaving in several weeks for a trip to the Mountains and I was hoping they would get here before then. We received them TODAY!! They are in our safe, and ready to travel with us on our November Panama Cruise. I have no second guesses about paying the expedited fee and I will sleep much better with the new passports in our possession. It only took one week to receive them after the Passport Office received them. If anyone is in need of a quick return, I would recommend sending them by a quicker method (maybe priority) so they are delivered to the Passport Office sooner.

FYI, Doyle’s Sails above TMM in Road Reef Marina have many, many sample books of Sunbrella. Erin is very easy to deal with and once ordered they ship and clear them for you and if needed have them made up.

This is the lowest of low season. Some boats likely have already been pulled or moved south. There should be no trouble getting a ball without reservation, so no need to use BoatyBall, except where it is used for payment.
