A word on liquor prices. At one time booze in the BVI was a bargain but now most hard liquor is now close to US prices. The government attempted to raise the duty on hard liquor and the vendors raised prices to cover but when the government recended the duty it appears that the vendors did not return prices to their previous level. A 1.75L of Dewars is a dollaer higher than my local package store. Cruzan liters are still under $10 but almost everything else is close to US retail.
Also watch out for the price of mixers. I found several at Riteway and Harbor Market where the case price was higher than four 6 packs.

We stocked up last time we were down. Cleared out RTW's stash of Hendricks gin.

I want to know just how they plan to collect "15% per gallon"? Will they pour out a pint and a half? Where will they put it? Does the customs officer get to sell it off in lew of pay they way it was done in the 17th century? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
