4WD and decent tires are the first consideration. The roads are more variable than in the USVIs. Some of the steepest, such as the road to Brewers Bay...

I bought a couple of medium sized ones from the Rick Steves web site. They are great for sweaters going out. I do not use them for shirts because they...

We stay over in that area pretty frequently. We head down tomorrow and my sister, New England, is going to overlook the area. I remember seeing the ho...

Hey New England, Ryan can use your empty Bushwacker cups to build a corral for his scorpions! Try a PM to StJohnRuth, she'll know what's what. I...

You MUST get your reservation ahead of time. www.conradcars.com. Cheers, RickG

We are picking up 6 sehicles from Conrad's on Saturday. They've been doing great for us since 1997. They include insurance in their price. Mr. Sutton ...

Seriously, I've been taking my girls down since they were 5 months old. It's easy to bring special foods down. We stick to beaches with shade and skip...

My 15 year old eats most food in restaurants and can walk through airports on her own. We only need the stroller/backpack when they forget to make her...

Sleep late, make love, eat breakfast, hey the sun came out! Cheers, RickG

My favorite breakfast is over at Maho Bay Campground. The breakfasts are large and the view is killer. Francis Bay is down the hill and a great spot i...

You need to buy better dog biscuits if Ryan can't get one down. I thought you only fed your dog chicken legs from Popeyes? Cheer, RickG

Kim & Jim, what villa are you staying in? We get plenty of shade at most of the beaches. Salt Pond Bay and Cinnamon Bay are exceptions. Hawksnest, Gib...

Ya, I hear this a lot from the newbies that travel with us. "Rain every day? Lets cancel the trip!" Here's my pat answer: 1) 60% chance of rain m...

Bluwater, I love your STT trip reports. We are 10 days out for the Gang of 24. I don't know about fantastic, but the STJ new visitor guide is obsessiv...

He may not be smart, but he has opinions! In/near Cruz Bay narrows things down a lot. 3-5 bedrooms is a pretty big range. More data for a better fit ...

Hey NE, Tell Ryan that Uncle Rick will cook his scorpions up right nice for him. The no-see-ums and mosquitos are a bigger threat. Don't forget the mo...

Karrieb, our brother Chris will be driving the Suzuki. I had that on our last trip and it was fine for 2. I would even use it for 2 adults and 2 kids....

Hey sister, another thought is to have the rental agent pick up the keys. The folks could come back to town and fill out the paper work in the morning...

We emailed Naomi, who does the bookings for Inner Visions. She said that they will be on island but they did not have their November dates yet. Probab...

It's easier to get a rental car in Road Town than at West End, but there are fewer ferries to Road Town. Hertz has a location at West End at the Jolly...
