Other BVI Bloggers
There is a great blogging community here in the BVI and thanks to some friends who've been so kind to share their links with me, I'm sharing them with you!
Miss Mermaid has been blogging her BVI adventure for 10+ years! The Shands introduced us to her blog, titled Dear Miss Mermaid. She gives some of the most accurate weather reports and helps make sense of these crazy trade winds. She is also a published author; her book is Hurricanes and Hangovers. {Need to get my hands on a copy!} Miss Mermaid actually has another blog, appropriately named Dear Miss Mermaid...the OTHER blog.
I haven't met Miss Mermaid in person, but we've been at many of the same places at the same time. Take for instance the most recent Full Moon Party at Trellis. According to her blog, she was there and so were we!
Our friend, Adam found this lovely blog: Sugar Apple, Posts from the Caribbean by Abigail Blake. She met her husband while on vacation here at none other than nickel beer night at Pusser's Pub in Road Town! That was 16 years ago! Sugar Apple is a beautiful blog about Caribbean life and cooking. The way she explores the island through food is inspiring and she's selfless, sharing her recipes with her readers! I will most definitely be trying some of them soon. Abigail can be a bit snarky too, which I love. Check out this post titled What Not To Wear...I completely agree with her assessment of the tacky tourist varieties. In fact, Michael and I have been snapping some photos of the most egregious "cruising" outfits that we've seen come off of the ships. A post about these unforunate clothing choices is coming soon...
Oh, and there's a blog with a name that's pretty close to the name of our blog here. It's MyBVIAdventure.blogspot.com! It chronicles the 30-day stay of a young lady who participated in an internship with Sail Caribbean Divers. She was here last March, so there haven't been any news posts since, but she has some beautiful underwater photos.
In other blogging notes, I should have Travis's exit survey up shortly...

Aw! Dat was so sweet you mention little old Dear Miss Mermaid!
THANK you and I put another link back to your blog.
Thanks for giving my Hurricanes and Hangovers book a plug. Heck, if I sell a few more copies, I can buy more tuna and Dear Miss Mermaid and her cats do love that tuna...
The book is on Amazon and several stores throughout the BVI, see my webpage DearMissMermaid.com for a list of stores.
Again, thank you SO much!
