Thanks to everyone for your comments, especially to Alltech for your first-hand experience. David was able to find detailed information on NerdWallet. As noted, there is no medical coverage, so we'll continue to purchase trip insurance for international trips. Otherwise, I think this card will serve us well for domestic travel, as we almost always fly American. Scuba, this card offers rental car coverage as secondary on domestic rentals, and primary on foreign ones.

Lesley--sorry, no, it probably won't. I REALLY wish it will be finished by third quarter this year, a full SEVEN YEARS since Irma, but I have zero level of confidence.

What's that old saying, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

As others have pointed out sold out ferries are very rare post covid. I have not had it happen once. Avoid leaving Roadtown on Saturday morning and I don’t think you need worry. If you want a bit more insurance wait until your flight departure to STT ontime looks assured and do the online booking before takeoff.

Linda--yes you can, but I think bran's wife is in a wheelchair now, so that won't work. Plus Le Petit has a big set of stairs going into the entrance.

greenfields--especially being in Canada, I know you like to get out of the cold, but usually I don't have any problem getting a reservation at Beachside in the summer. I really like having the pool at BSV also.

"Moorings base - can we dive off the boat?"

"No!"

I may be misreading it, but it appears from this and every other source that I've read that the vaccine is only available to children from 9 to 16, those that live in affected areas, and have been previously infected. So I'm not aware of any vaccine available to adults.

"In May 2019, Dengvaxia was approved in the United States as the first vaccine approved for the prevention of dengue disease caused by all dengue virus serotypes (1, 2, 3 and 4) in people ages nine through 16 who have laboratory-confirmed previous dengue infection and who live in endemic areas.[17][6] Dengue is endemic in the US territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.[17]"

Disappointing for sure, it seems like a workable vaccine could have been developed since this Dengue has been around a long time.

Oh yes!!! I see pics from that trip pop up every once in a while on Facebook from Tim and Walt !

2nd pic, looks like they are waiting for a massage, that's the massage hut me thinks

Thanks Matt!

I'd love to learn how you get your great drone shots!

I used to get annoyed by the little birds at Setting Point that hunt for scraps and foul the deck.
Now, I'm like "Behold! the Ruddy Turnstone!"

Also, for years I've seen those weird upside down jellyfish in the mangrove shallows of Biras Creek.
I loved finding out they carry the awesomely celestial scientific name of Cassiopea andromeda.

Everyone probably has some people in their lives that you have referred to as Hurricane X,Y,Z. Some of these names echo some folks I’ve known. Hope its not an omen.
