Paradise - found

Back from a great vacation and all I can do is think about planning the next. So, while we were on the cruise, we found the absolutely perfect beach... Long Bay on Tortola (BVI).



We asked Captain Friendly to find the best Conch Fritters on the island and he brought us to a cafe here. The fritters were good, the soup was great and the view was unimaginable. After lunch, we lounged on the chairs and enjoyed the sounds of the ocean because there were very few people around - certainly nowhere near the throngs of people we'd seen on St. Thomas. The pale blue waters, the green hills of the islands and the gentle, tropical breeze - along with the story of the elderly couple sitting behind us at lunch who have visited this resort for each of the last 30 years... they all told us THIS is where we need to vacation.

So, now, I'm sitting at the computer, searching for a travel agent with the best deal... to take us back to paradise. Maybe this time, we'll bring a couple of friends.
