Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Hear the sea roll in
That little line is from Jimmy Buffett. And though it’s been less than a year that I was in the islands, it’s been two years since we went as a whole family. I do love my vacations but they are particularly special when we do them all together.
This summer we will be spending a week in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. I am very excited to experience The BVIs for the first time other than seeing them from a distance or from an airplane. I’m sure we will love it there as I’ve already been in contact with some individuals there making our arrangements and they have been amazing!
It’s easy enough to search all the must do’s on the island, the beaches, and the restaurants….but does anyone have any “off the beaten path” suggestions? When visiting anywhere, I prefer a flavor of the locals and what their island life is all about. We are definitely not a “stay at a resort” type of family. Any suggestions are welcome!


Mikey and I in St. Thomas back in November. We could see parts of the BVIs from our VRBO and it immediately made me want to further explore what’s out there.
