Bonkers Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 BVI = British Virgin Islands. I had to look it up. Quote
Jammin Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 Yeah, sorry about that. As you can see, Tortola is a stones throw from St. Thomas. St. Thomas is very easy to fly into. From there it is a 7 minute cab ride to the ferry dock and then a 45 minute ferry ride to West End Tortola (if you do not stop in St. John on the way). From West End (Sopers Hole) Tortola we normally rent a Jeep and stay up on the North Shore in Cane Garden Bay. Bombas and Little Apple Bay are also north side just over the hill from the Ferry dock.

Hipshot Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 We are not going to go without you CHFather....and your little girl too. Quote
Jammin Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 Just remember if you go, you will need a passport. Also, Tortola is a no frills kind of island unless you shell out big bucks to stay in Long Bay which is really the only "resort" kind of place to stay. Something tells me us busters are a tough people though and can handle "roughing it" so to speak. If not comfortable staying in the BVI one can always stay on St. Thomas or St. John and ferry over to Tortola for the day as well. If anyone would like recommendations on cost / logistics / affordable accommodations feel free to PM. Quote
Hipshot Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks for taking the time to share your success story with us. I, for one, would love to go. It would be like mixing business with pleasure Dan Quote
tingeling Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Oh my!! Who wouldn`t go there just for the experience Quote
ThatHurtsMyHead Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I'm in! I live in Florida so it's only a puddle jump away. Jeff Quote
dereksgirl Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 what time of year do you usually go? Quote
Jammin Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 Anytime Jan through end of Feb depending on airfare. Been down during the summer as well when I felt it was a good idea to do another prevent. Funny how clusters has forced me to vacation on a regular bases and budget for this. I imagine without the condition I would never be able to justify doing this annually and would most likely only vacation well ever 5 years or so. Kind of a blessing in disguise! Quote
shaggyparasol Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Nice thread to come back to ya'll! Count the Shaggy in. When should we meet? The Shaggy 8-) Quote
Pixie-elf Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I want to come! Mmm. Rum. Just don't look at me and ask why the rum's gone, I didn't do it. My Mom suggested we just send my boyfriend a ticket, make him go, and bring me back quite a few cases of that drink. Bwhaha. Mystina Quote
Keith Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 When consuming the rum do you actually trip? How much do you need to drink? Quote
MattyAA Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Wow, _British_ virgin islands you say? does that mean if I am citizen of European Union and isle being _british_ it is part of european union and I can go there without any passport hassle? Quote
Psiloscribe Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Hey Jammin!! great to hear from you. Yes people just to confirm, Jammin here, is one of the original busters and the real deal... I do think this would be a wonderful destination, meet 'n greet. I do need to get down there and "officially" crown Bomba as an honorary buster. Bob Quote
