Need a lift? Seaborne adds daily service to Beef Island Tortola

As of October 1, 2012, you'll have another way to get to Beef Island, Tortola... via Seaborne Airlines!  When we spotted the blurb in Travel Weekly by Gay Nagle Meyers, we just had to share it with you.

According to the Seaborne Airlines web site, "Seaborne service to/from San Juan International (SJU) to Tortola Terrence B. Lettsome (Beef Island) Airport will begin October 1, 2012. Double daily flights from San Juan International and St. Thomas are currently on sale. As the busy winter season approaches, additional flights and capacity will be added."

Don't forget passports for everyone when traveling to the British Virgin Islands from or through the United States!

Mighty Sparrow Honored in Grenada!

by Nancy Anderson

One of my all-time favorites, Soca master The Mighty Sparrow (Slinger Francisco), was recently honored in his birthplace of Grand Roy, on the island of Grenada! This is such a nice tribute to someone whose music has thrilled us all for 50 years.

There's a writeup online at Caribbean 360, Grenada honours Mighty Sparrow.
