Thanks so much Bill for this wonderful trip report on Virgin Gorda. My husband and I have been to lots of islands in the Caribbean but we've never seemed to be able to make it to VG. Your report certainly makes me want to go there more than ever. We've always thought we would stay at that weirdly named resort you mentioned but, even at the prices they charge, it has always been sold out for the dates we could go. I think I'll revisit the idea of staying in one of the villas on Mahoe Bay. Your pictures are spectacular!

My wife and I were in VG around the same days of your trip. I looked for us in you photo's of the Bath's. We were not in your photo's. The Bath's were great.

Your forgotten bag story made me feel a little better... we did the same thing. We had to lay over in Chgo on the way to VG. We rented a car and returned it the morning of our departure from Chgo to VG. After we got off the Hertz airport bus at the terminal we had the familiar conversation "where is the bag, I thought you had it...oh no we left it on the bus...it has our camera and passports in it...we are bit trouble now". We jumped on the next Hertz bus, the driver called the bus with our bag, and it was still there. I know the relief you felt when you found your bag.

Thanks for the pictures. It makes me realize how many photo's I didn't take. Enjoyed you commentary.

Rich

Love your pictures and great trip report! We were tossing Guavaberry and Adagio around and since seeing your pics have decided on Adagio if it is available in October. Still undecided about the best way to get there I am thinking we will take the ferry from St. Thomas to VG. Would be a nice ride. How far is the Baths from Adagio? Also we are not used to maid service - we pretty much have always just been left alone once we arrive at a villa but I see that most of Virgin Gorda offers this service. Did you feel you still had your privacy?

Hi MSS, the maid service was fine. Like you, we weren't used to having maid service in a villa rental. The maid was very nice and came at the same time each day (around 10:30 am), so we knew when to expect her. She was there for about an hour. She made the bed, cleaned the bathroom, straightened up the kitchen, and swept the floors and patios. We usually missed her altogether was we were either gone or down at the beach.

It was a short drive, maybe 15 or 20 minutes to get down to the Baths from Adagio.

When we return, we'll fly in on Air Sunshine again as I am not crazy about long ferry rides.
