Ivan’s in Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands became the recent destination of injured war veterans. The group of retirees has stopped over on the said island for a two-night R and R. The trip was actually a 12-mile and round-trip kayak adventure.
Some of the veterans said that it was like being in a deserted nice island, but then you knew that you are going to be rescued. This was actually a personal comment of Peter Rooney, whose both legs were amputated because of a roadside bomb explosion near Ramadi, Iraq.
One of the highlights of Ivan’s is a Local Flavor Stress Free Bar that always works on an honor system – take a drink, write it down and pay it before leaving. The place is decorated entirely with shells and shell art from previous visitors, which completely radiates comfort and pleasure.
Most of the veterans lost their legs. Being in such places and experiencing such adventures has given them greater motivation and gladness to stand fast further in life.
