Lots of favorites but our 1st trip to Tortola and the BVI was in 2002 for my 50th Birthday. We stayed at LBBR in one of the waterfront upstairs units and loved it. I went to the hardware store near Sopers and bought a heavy duty pvc tub with a rope attached. That would be our “cooler”😂 Went to the market in Sopers bought two sandwiches and some wine and ice.

Found this small cinder block empty shack at the end of Long Bay that apparently been a “restaurant” called Nathan’s. There was a round plastic table and some chairs inside so I set up our lunch there👍 We were tucked back in the trees so no one knew we were there.

From there discovered Smugglers Cove and Patricia😋 Also met Bob Dennison’s Grandson Matt I believe who ran a “bar” in the old lobby of the long gone hotel there. Able to see the limo the Queen rode in and it was in decent shape.

Went to the BVI Steak&Chophouse as well as Stanley’s👍👍😋

Man I could go on and make this a book! All this because of an article in the now gone Caribbean Travel & Life magazine that had an article about a place called Tortola that I knew nothing about. I still have that magazine👍
