[quote=Anonymous]DH and I spent two weeks in BVI one August 12 years ago and I dream of a day to go back. It was a fantastic trip jumping from island to island and beach to beach. Snorkeling right off the beach pretty much everywhere we went. We stayed at the Mongoose Apartments on Cane Garden Bay in Tortola. We would make our own breakfasts and dinners and eat lunch out where ever we ended up that day. BVI is not known for being a reasonable destination costwise, but the way we did it made it manageable. At first we didn't rent a car, but quickly discovered that it's a must. You can fly into Tortola, but the cheaper way to go is to fly into St. Thomas and take a boat to Tortola.

We haven't been back because DH is from Panama so we usually spend our vacations going there. Bocas del Toro is the Caribbean in Panama and another place you should consider. There is a direct flight to Panama City from DC on COPA (also codeshare United). Once in PC to get to Bocas you have to take another plane. Once you get there it's beautiful. My favorite place is Boca del Drago which is on the main island of Colon. There is this amazing coconut grove there and a place they call "starfish beach" where you see starfish sitting on the bottom of a shallow crystal clear Caribbean water. There is a restaurant there that serves the best fried fish with coconut rice. There is a small house to rent there on VRBO that looks delightful.

I'm so jealous. Would love to go somewhere tropical for X-mas. Good luck![/quote]
