Hi Karen,
This trip we are taking a red eye out of LAX to Dulles in Washington DC area. Then on to San Juan PR and finally San Juan to Tortola on Intercaribbean Air. Not my preferred itinerary but this turned out to be somewhat reasonably priced and it gets us directly into Tortola without having to ferry from St. Thomas. It actually worked out OK as our daughter will be joining us on the same flights from Dulles to Tortola and back as she lives in the DC area. Seems like no easy way to get to the BVIs from the west coast.
