Nice sign!

Virgin Grand Estates finally has new signage at its entrance, after years of a tattered, faded piece of plywood. We think VGE is the new IN ‘hood. After decades of starts and stops, it has really started to develop. There are some great villas up there, many of them in rental programs. Years ago, you could access Virgin Grand Estates right from South Shore Road. The road is still there. Turn left at the Westin into the timeshare drive. It’s been blocked off for a long time, after a dispute between the developer and the hotel. SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW: If you rent a villa up there, you can still walk down the hill to that entrance. A nice short cut to the Westin for lunch or hanging out at Great Cruz Bay. Don’t think I’d do it at night though. It’d be creepy scary walking up the hill in the dark. 

VIDEO ALERT: Tomorrow we’ll take a short hike to Salomon Beach.

    I’m rushing the week, thought we were going to the beach today! That could be because I have no heat in the lower level of my house. Currently registering 43 degress in my living room! Thankfully we have 2 zone heat!
    Waitin’ for the gas man here in Jersey where it’s a balmy 11 degrees - up from 6 yesterday!
