Linda, the Amalfi coast is wonderful, try and make dinner reservations at Le Sirenuse in Positano. It's a most beautiful and memorable setting. The dinning room is only lit by candle light. They light 436 tea lights and it takes one man over an hour to light them all. For us it's one of our most cherished travel memories.
Also regarding an above mention of Virgin Gorda and the recent hurricanes. It suffered serve damage from Irma and Maria. We had planned a week in St Barth in Nov/Dec followed by sailing 10 days in the BVI. Have canceled both legs of the trip. Chartered boat destroyed and all the places that made us love sailing there no longer exist. Have rebooked St. Barth for April 2018, but unsure when we'll be able to return to the BVI waters....we will sail there again but not for a year or so. So sad for the islands and all the people who have lost homes and jobs.
We were hoping to go back to SBH next year, too. We stay at the Guanahani. But we have been traveling to other places as well, and our other "home away from home" is Le Sirenuse in Positano. I can't recommend enough this perfect little hotel and all of the activities in the area including Capri. It is overly crowded and expensive in July, August, and September, which is when we usually go, but you will never be sorry taking a trip to the Amalfi coast. A couple of other places we just traveled to on a long Mediterranean trip were Sardinia and Mallorca. We only had the day on Sardinia but we want to go back..very sweet island with fabulous, inexpensive wine, and wonderful residents, little restaurants, lovely winding roads, beautiful beaches, incredible historical things to see. Mallorca was fun and interesting as we visited the artists in the mountain towns. This is just to say that for us, there is nowhere like SBH but there are many places that can give you enormous amounts of pleasure of great food, bakeries, small villages, interesting historical dialects, beaches, etc. (Actually for me, the funniest part of the trip was how Davesdad kept "comparing" each place we went to SBH...and I was the one who was always pushing to go back to SBH every time! It made me so happy to know that he loves SBH as much as I do.) SBH will be back, I am confident, and when it is ready for us, we will be, too. Happy travels in the interlude. (Also, I have spent a number of trips on many other Caribbean islands starting in 1979, and having been to quite a number of the places you mention (St. Lucia, for instance), I can honestly say that the rise in crime in many of these islands has made me hesitate to return. Turks has become dangerous with tourist murders recently. In the past, I have spent a fair amount of time in Guadeloupe and Martinique (vacation and dialectology research), but it has been at least 15 years since, and between 1980 and the 1990s, I noted a very positive change toward tourists in the late 90s for what it is worth. That being said, it is very helpful to speak French and a little créole there, but the food is amazing. Wherever you go, you will learn something, try something new, and gain an appreciation for wonderful things in the world. It makes coming back to SBH only sweeter..
