Can anyone help with leads on Childcare? We would be looking for a care giver/travelling nurse/babysitter from 12/3 to 12/17 in our 2 bedroom Condo on east end of St. Thomas. We are flexible; days, afternoons, nights, overnights. PM me for details.

Also looking for a photographer to shoot some family photos. Does not need to be wedding quality but would like the person to have touch-up ability and be patient to work with young children.

Thanks so much,
Karen]]> karenparnell Virgin Islands NowThu, 19 Nov 2009 07:50:12 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105485,105485#msg-105485 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105485,105485#msg-105485I know this is really a USVI board but I was wondering if anyone knew of any good places to stay on Virgin Gorda? I'm looking to make that part of my next trip as I get back to STJ. Thought it might be worth asking everyone.

Thanks.]]> houstola Virgin Islands NowSun, 15 Nov 2009 21:16:41 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105482,105482#msg-105482 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105482,105482#msg-105482
Price is a primary consideration for me. I prefer to spend money on daysails, activities, etc... rather than lodging. Don't need anything special, but was wondering if anyone had good/bad experiences with:

Rhymers on Tortola
Cinnamon Bay campground (cottage)
Maho Bay campground (tent cottage)
Any other fun inexpensive place...

I've been down a handful of times, but have always stayed on St. Thomas. Want to try something different this time. Appreciate all of your replies!

(The calendar will open on the current month so you will need to scroll the month to December and then January.)

And if you want to read up a little on what Carnival celebrations are about you can find some information in the Carnival Section of the site.

Is there a place to rent fishing gear - rod/reel, tackle/bait? I don't want to charter, just toss a hook in the water from the shore at my leisure.

Has anyone rented a dinghy/zodiac to beach hop? If so, what's your opinion of it?

Thanks for the help. 11 more days....]]> Agave_in_the_Sand Virgin Islands NowFri, 13 Nov 2009 13:31:58 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105420,105420#msg-105420 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105420,105420#msg-105420 mike1030 Virgin Islands NowThu, 12 Nov 2009 10:20:37 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105417,105417#msg-105417 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105417,105417#msg-105417
I'm traveling to St. John for the week and just found out that the place we're staying doesn't have internet access. Are there places in Cruz Bay (bars, etc) that have free wireless? I seem to recall a few places in Coral Bay but would love to know if there are any in Cruz.
Thanks!]]> leslieeliz Virgin Islands NowTue, 10 Nov 2009 23:05:54 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105395,105395#msg-105395 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105395,105395#msg-105395
My family and I are coming to visit STT March 13th -20th. We will be staying at Bluebeard's castle. Our Christmas present to each other this year to get scuba certified. My daughter and I have done the introductory class at Coki and we loved it. I have looked at the website for the vendor at Coki and have written down all their information.

I'm just curious if anyone on this site has experience or recommendations with any other local (STT) vendors who can educate and certify children (13) and adults for scuba diving. We have been to STT a dozen times or so and we always rent a car so getting to their location or shop should be no problem. As long as I don't drive over anymore parking blocks used as lane dividers, that is a different story.

Sherri I'm sure you remember Aurelia wearing diapers at Rockworks on one of our earlier visits and her loosing her first tooth on one of our later visits. I'm not sure how she got to be 13 without us getting any older.

If anyone has a name, a phone number or a website I would greatly appreciate it.

Our favorite restaurants have been:

Banana Tree Grille (keeper)
Craig and Sally's (Service and Quality have been declining)
Indigo (Not the same since management changed)
Mahogany Run Golf Course
Havana Blue (getting better)
Oceana
Mafolie
Old Stone Farmhouse (not the same since the brine duck was removed from menu)
Agave Terrace

Anyone have any new suggestions? We LOVED Indigo and would like to know where the owners have opened up a new place. Also, we have heard from Capn Joe (Scubadu) that the Italian place by Coki Point is awesome. Any reviews?

As far as activities, we have done JUST about everything (Ferry to St. John, Baths, Jost, Tortola, etc). We are interested in suggestions as well as any recommendations on the following:

1.) Renting a Dingy
2.) Kayaking
3.) Water Island
