BVI Checklist...want to make sure I'm not missing anything

I'll be staying in Tortola next week for my honeymoon and want to make sure I'm not missing anything. We have day trips planned to Virgin Gorda, Jost and Anegada.
Tortola
Smugglers Cove
Quick tour of Callwood
Dinner reservations at Banana Keet on our last night, requested table on the rail.
The house we rented is here so we will probably explore Road Town and West End
Virgin Gorda
The Baths
Bitter End
Jost Van Dyke
Soggy Dollar
Foxys
If I can stand up after those two, maybe One Love Bar and Grill
Anegada
Renting a scooter to see Loblolly and Cow Wreck
Eating lobster somewhere. Trying to fit in a free dive for them.
I hear great things about Willie T's and would like to try and fit that in. We're both certified divers so we are keeping that option open as well. Any other recommendations?
Foxys rum any good?

Cooper Island is a good spot for lunch. They have my absolute favorite fish and chips in the world.
I also like Corsairs on Jost. It's like the next bay over from Soggy.
Are you chartering a boat for a day? That's the only way you're likely to get to the Willie T which can be extremely raunchy (which I like). If you charter a boat your day could be like this.
The Baths in the morning
A snorkeling spot after
Cooper island for lunch
Willie T
We did this from Peter Island which is across the way from Tortola. The boat was about $500 for the day with captain and mate.

Dive, dive some more, then dive for me.
Drink only after diving.
Hydrate Rinse Repeat.

Staying at Peter Island for the Honeymoon in less than a month. Did yall go through the people at Peter Island to set that up or did you do it yourself? Would like to do something like that while we are there.

I second the mention of Cooper Island. Stayed there with my family for two weeks a number of years back. SS Rhone, location of the movie The Deep was filmed here. It is just off of Cooper Island.
Also, second mention of Virgin Gorda
As for staying on Tortola....laughing....all I can say is I hope you have patience. Molasses in 0 degree weather moves faster than the service industry workers on Tortola.
Flying into Beef Island Airport from St. Thomas? That was an awesome flight. Let me know if they still have to buzz the cattle off the runway on Beef Island.
Lastly, if flying into or out of the Beef Island Airport, be prepared for some hassle or shake down, especially if your new bride is nice looking.

Tortola was fantastic and I had a good experience with Beef Island.

Ohh man, Tortola and the BVIs have a special place in my heart.
All your island excursions are great, but yeah staying on an island other than Tortola would have been the play. Or shoot charter a boat.
Full Moon Party at Bomba Shack if there for one. It might be a little wild, but don't know your lifestyle.
There used to be a great little French bar/restaurant right at the roundabout of Road Town. Of course, they had all the hustle of both the French and Islanders. They went on unofficial strike during the 2002 World Cup and refused to serve anyone for like a week. But stayed open.
Soggy Dollar is better than Foxy's imho
Wings at Pussers (there were like 3 of them scattered around) not to be missed. Great Happy Hour. Or was it has been a decade since I have been back.
I think Anegada only has that one lobster shack in the harbor.
Willie T's convinces women to jump off the deck topless for a free t shirt and a shotski. It can be fun, it can be awfully TGIFridays, depends on the crew.

I'll have a write up with pics coming soon. Rented a house in the mountains of Tortola. It was extremely private. Couldn't beat it with any resort on another island IMO.
ETA several options for lobster on anegada.
Willie t's was dead when we passed it on the way to dive.

Going to St. John for a long 4th of July weekend. We have two boats chartered for day trips to the BVI. Can't wait to get back there.

Cant wait. Didnt notice the time of your original post. What side of Tortola were you on?
The BVIs are so amazing. I lived on island for a spell but spent most days on the water. Fond memories
