Falling in love again: Virgin Gorda
I'm back on Virgin Gorda after a few years away (except for a daytrip last year from St. John, which hardly counts) and falling in love with it all over again. Here's a link to my blog with full trip report and photos:

thanks for reading, y'all. Here's the next installment, with lots of photos, of our travel day and first whole day on Virgin Gorda. I'd meant to write these up as we went along, but time got away from me!

This one isn't a trip report so much as some photos of flowers and animals of the island:

Some I wasn't sure if I identified correctly. Any tips?

Might have been helpful if I'd actually included the link for Spring Bay, etc.:

We didn't love the Leverick Bay beach--pretty small, and not really interested in swimming there with all of the boats. we drove to beaches each day, but since we usually do that on vacation, it was never a big deal to us.

Thanks, Virginia. I was completely taken by surprise how some of those flash photos turned out. I rarely use a flash at all, but now I might experiment some more.
here's the next installment, in which we spend the day at Savannah Bay and dine at Nail Bay & the new place, CocoMaya

Lovely, lovely report, as usual. I love reading your blog! We've been to many islands in the Caribbean but Virgin Gorda is one we haven't yet made it to. We're off to Grenada in a couple of weeks, another newbie for us.
I look forward to the rest of your trip report.

sharona, I hope you love Grenada and I look forward to reading all about your time there. Where are you staying?
Sorry about the delay in updating, but real life has reared its ugly head. here's the next installment (with lots of photos!), in which we visit the Baths, make a new friend, and in general enjoy the villa life:
