Noah is 11 and just finishing 5th grade. I think he would love to meet a couple of boys close to his age. He's really looking forward to Disney Quest. I doubt he will go anywhere else (maybe swimming). Maybe we could let the boys use our PM's to "chat" with each other before the cruise...just a thought.
Good idea! Patrick will be in the club (he actually turns 10 august) but a lot of the time he enjoys the b-ball court, arcade and hot tub! I am sure he would like to send a few of the boys PM's so that he feels like he has friends too! I will have to try to post a pic so that we know what each other looks like. We are actually in Dizzyworld's picture from the meet last year.

I like the idea of sending PM's, you can send it through me and I will make sure Jackson gets them. noahsmom - where in WI do you live? My family lives near the Dells... I went to High School in WI!!
Dang! I read some of the reviews about the Baths and I think we need to do something else. DH is very prone to foot issues & blisters, I would hate for that to happen. The thought of taking shoes and socks is not appealing. Not sure what else to do, maybe a beach day. What is everyone else doing in Tortola?
From what I understand there are 2 different ways to go. One is to hike down (and back). The other is a boat which drops you off and you need to swim (or walk) in the the caves.
It is like this and definitely worth the effort, but the beach is really something also but so are all the other beaches in BVI, if you want to choose one of the other experiences.Then it seems it is absolutely worth the hike. Last summer we did the ABD in Wyoming. DH, who loves to hike, got the bright idea to hike up 2000 ft more, we were already at 9000ft, to Jade Lake. Another couple decided to do the hike with us. Well about halfway up there, I'm thinking this is not worth it unless someone was going to hand out $100 bills at the top. Well, when we got there, we saw the most beautiful lake, the color of Jade and a moose outlined in the snow (yes snow in July, that's how high we were). I will never forget it. Certain things are just worth the effort.

The climb thru the caves isn't really that long or rigorous.I agree about the disboards. The first time, we had very little involvement with the group. Our second cruise, we met up with the group (including Dizzyworld) and had a lot of fun, and it made it great for the kids - especially DD. I also looked at the July 25th, but this cruise seemed much more lively crew
Speaking of which, I know there are some 9/10 yo boys going. I would love to get DS a pal before leaving, so if anyone is interested, let me know.
I am a little confused about the Baths to be honest. I keep seeing people in water in the caves, which looks cool, but then people are talking about sneakers and hiking? I do not quite get it.
I am not too worried about the beach, since I think in St. Thomas we will just hang out at Coral World and maybe Coki or Sapphire Beach.
