Arrived in one piece quite the trip but no problems. Very tired and beat up but we survived. The resort seems very nice and the room is beautiful, we look out over the Atlantic with the sounds of surf coming in the sliding doors. Sleeping to the sound will be heaven.

No pictures yet but bunches tomorrow.

PS, my doctor told me I'd have some weight gain, but 25+ pounds? I am not happy about that! So I am going to work hard at getting rid of what I've gained since surgery PLUS some that shouldn't have been there to begin with :)

Yes but what does that have to do with anything. Another lovely day in paradise. The rains yesterday cleared the air and it is spectacular today. Maybe a little snorkeling and a day sail tomorrow and diving on Saturday.

Nice relaxing day at the pool and beach. Sailing tomorrow.

Here's something you can only do in Tortola.
Sue and surf

Some dudes had their boards out.

The sailing turned into a motor trip no wind, the snorkeling did not happen, wicked north swells, but we did make it to the Baths on Virgin Gorda. Excellent trip. Excellent dinner at Pussers in Soper's Hole.

Sue at the Baths

Diving tomorrow.

Well another day gone and one day closer to ending. Two more dives to day and they totally sucked.

Octo

Believe that and I have some ocean front property in Colorado to sell.

Tomorrow we do some running and exploring.

Last full day, lots of exploring and a very nice day. We started out on the goat trail to Soper's Hole for breakfast, then into Road Town for some shopping with the podders. They are good for one thing, they bring out the vendors. Then over to a nice bay for lunch, then on to another great bay for a swim and afternoon drinks. Back to Soper's Hole for dinner.

Nice last day, the only thing better would be some boobies.

Boobie

It is very hard to be light, we are just so worried about Jerry.

Your Tortola vaca has been a nice diversion - thank you for sharing it!
I'm sure that Jerry and Louise are feeling some of your BVI juju.
Safe travels homeward
