Thanks for the input. We are going to the BVI. Leaving June 1. My wife and I were there in '96 and '97. This is the first time for our boys of 11 and 12.I hope things haven't changed to much.

Don't Stop the Carnival

Then you'll definitely want to read that book. I'm not normally a Herman Wouk fan but Jimmy Buffett turned me on to this one with his musical. I read it while in Barbados and laughed hysterically the whole way through - I could completely relate to Norman's problems.LaDonna
