Mouse BBQ food truck in Cupecoy AUCspouse 37 minutes ago We recently had another meal at the Mouse BBQ food truck in Cupecoy. (It's located in the upper part of the Starz Casino parking lot, near the entrance to the American University of the Caribbean.) The cheerful owner's name is Jerry.

We ordered the creamy fish soup -- which included mussels. Along with a couple of Johnny cakes, it made for a delicious and filling meal.

The shaded patio in front of the food truck includes a table with dominoes, for those of you who want to play a game of chicken-feet.
Thumb's up -- give the place a try.

stairs at the back of airplanes gitter 2 hours ago Good afternoon,
I may be showing my age and I think I know the answer but here it is.
Do they still roll steps to the rear exit doors of the airplane?
It was always a treat to stroll to the carts for the ride to the terminal. Thank you in advance,
gitter

New Business Being Built Across The Road From The Rib Shack Whale Tail 19 hours ago I posted a picture of the new structure across the road from the Rib Shack and Scubaman asked me to find out what it is. I haven't got the answer yet, but there has been progress there as the pic from yesterday shows. There has never been anyone there when we walked by.

Now just my feeling but when I saw it I told my wife that it has similarities in construction to Babacool's. As in the use of shipping containers in the construction as the back walls of this new building. Babacool's used shipping containers for the pool there.

Then today talking to a couple from Quebec in line to check luggage who were flying Air Transat to Montreal that were staying at Flamingo. They asked me if I have ever stayed at the other Hilton property Royal Palm. I said yes but it is to close to Nowhere Special for the loud music. He replied do you know that Nowhere Special is owned by a man from Quebec, as is Babacool's. District 721 also had loud music.

The mystery continues.

Where to buy a hair dryer near Orient or Grand Case? IslandBound9 Yesterday at 11:48 PM Greetings! We had a lovely travel day. Flight was on time, gates worked at airport and it was maybe 25 minutes from when we landed until we were en route to Orient. Traffic wasn't even that bad. I was sure the travel Gods were smiling on us until we unpacked and I realized I forgot to pack my French voltage hair dryer. We're in a rental vs hotel so can't call for one. Not the end of the world but I'm wondering if there is somewhere in the Orient Bay/Grand Case area where I can purchase one. I checked Super U when we were provisioning and they had nothing. Appreciate any thoughts/ideas?

Thank you, Ellie

Day Snorkle Trip from Virgin Gorda EarlE Yesterday at 09:56 PM We are regular land based BVI lovers for many years. I'm looking for a half or whole day guided trip while on VG in mid February. Prefer a join a small group or solo guided trip out of Yacht Harbor, but could consider North Sound.
I'm strong swimmer and confident experienced snorkeler but would like to travel to better spots than I can reach from the beach considering the (sometimes!) waves in February.
Any current for advice and recommendations on my options would be appreciated.

Really windy in the SFD channel RatmansWife Yesterday at 06:28 PM Windiest day in over a month: SFD channel full of whitecaps. I've been watching what's probably a dive boat going to VG, and it keeps trying different courses, circling around, bucking going east, then rocking going north or south. Not a fun ride!

Meanwhile, here on land, I got up at 5:30 and baked banana bread with fruit from one of my trees.

Caribbean Journal BleuMoon Yesterday at 06:24 PM I read on CJ online an article about the 26 best Caribbean beach bars. Three are on SXM, Bikini Beach Bar, Calmos Cafe and one called Big Bastards Beach Bar. Does anyone know about the last one?

Vesna Taverna gracie5 Yesterday at 04:38 PM My husband & I had dinner last night at Vesna Taverna. We had a great meal. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We spoke with one of the owners, Mike. Nice guy. He told us that it’s the exact same staff that was there when Vesna owned the restaurant. The menu is the same with a few minor tweaks. Will definitely go back.

Last night (Fri 16)At The Elm CGB.. Manpot Yesterday at 03:46 PM ...Jeff Ross and his band The Implosion rocked the place turning it into an old style full Caribbean "jump up".The place was packed with new faces and many faithful returning. The food was great ( Jerk Pork for me) and the dance floor was packed."Daddy Magic" did a turn that always brings the house down.Not sure who's playing Sunday night..The Elmtones or Implosion again..either way it will be a rocking good time. Great to see every table full and folks putting $$ in the tip jar!!!!
BTW..Jeff used to be lead guitar for Lou Reed amongst many others..
