I have been reading the posts for the past several weeks, getting lots of ideas of things to do and places to go. It has been so helpful.

This will be our first visit and my husband and I are sooooooo excited. I cannot wait. We have heard so many great things about the island and its beauty and the friendly people, that we could not pass up the opportunity to visit. I already have decided that this will not be our last visit.

We are staying at the Amsterdam Manor at Eagle Beach. I do think we have picked a great place to stay.

Any suggestions of things we must do or must see, please let me know. We do want to take the jeep tour and I we are planning an evening at Passions. Other than that, we don't know where to begin.

Many of the Dutch owned restuarants (M. Jennette, Marandi, etc) have white asparagus on the menu in May, flown in from Holland no-less. One of the special rarities in life.
