Well I have made it back in one piece. Well maybe as always I've left a bit of myself still in the BVI. By the grace of God I was able to extend my holiday by 2 days thanks to AA and spend my birthday in paradise once again. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

I have put up 3 albums with Manpots party , the festival parade and several beach scenes and many beautiful sunsets.
As always a special holiday seeing old friends and making new ones.

I had some very special dinners at Brandywine, Bananakeet, The Roadhouse, Quitos & Myetts , <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

We had a blast at Manpots party. Lets see if I can remember which TTOL'ers were there. Looniewhite & MC4D, Walker and Nancy, GlennA, Ultimatelime, Calsail & Terry, DaveC & Suzanne, Landcrab & family plus myself and Mal. Plus we had the people fr Patouche, Val fr Myetts, and several friends .

The party was followed by the full moon (blue moon) party. One of the best I have enjoyed . The crowd was pretty tame but the music and dancing were great. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/greendog.gif" alt="" />

Reggae night at the village was great with Quito & the Edge opened for Maxi Priest. I have to say Quito shines on a big stage and he put on a fantastic show as did Maxi ... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/band.gif" alt="" />

The weather as I mentioned before was not the greatest. We had quite a bit of rain leaving the island looking quite lush and green. Its did hold off for a few great full days of sunshine. tropical storm Bonnie skirted to the south of us.

There were 3 days cruise ships came in. CGB was most crowded when Carnivals Legend came in but they were gone by 1pm. The jet skis and banana boats were there only the days the ships are in. The Puerto Rican Navy was there in full force blocking the view totally to Jost. They pretty much cleared out towards the end.

My friends made my birthday a very special day with dinner at Bananakeets and then the big guy Bomba had a party for me with champagne and cake . Thanks you all for making my day very special. Especially who came to the party, Amy, Emp, Betty, Sheila, Mal, GT, Astrid, Vera, Mandy , Mare, Ada, JJ, John and Desmond.I hope I didn't forget anyone !!
