This and Frommer's guides always make up the bulk of my reseach before a production. In this case, I shot 2 weeks in the US and British Virgin Islands, relying mainly on these books. They offset each others weekness and/or gaps. Also, their contradicitons in beach or housing ratings are interesting. The maps are good including Ferry company names so you can look up the travel times and dates on the internet. (Just avoid Speedy's old Ferrys, one blew its engine and almost sank on me going to Virgin Gorda. We were rescued just in time.) I shot "The Best Virgin Island Beaches" DVD here on Amazon.com. So, after you read about these places, and you really want to see, hear and feel them, check our our DVDs.
