I really like La Sagesse as a base. If you click on the picture below, you'll see some more pictures:

Agree, college sports are ruining their school spirit charm with transfers and cash.

It is hard to see how any regular, serious student can pay tuition for 4 years, go deep in debt, while watching a millionaire knucklehead classmate chase a ball and transfer in and out of schools and barely do any class work.

Sorry that is 2001

Hello,

I’m looking for one week of owners time on a 4 cabin/4 head CAT in May of 2027. I’ve chartered in the BVI many times and have used owners time through the moorings for many of those trips.

If any one has any time they wish to sell, you can email me at biminis@aol.com.

Thanks,
Ken

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.

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.
