Grenada – Barbados

Posted on October 22, 2011 by Larry | 0 Comments

We slept in a little this morning since our flight wasn’t until 11AM. We got up, showered, and did the last of our packing. We went topside, and breakfast was laid out for us. There was fruit, scrambled eggs, sausage, bread, and bagels for toast and several jellies (nutmeg & guava). Half of the passengers had left at a 7:30AM…

Happy Island

Mayreau – Union Island – Happy Island

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Larry | 0 Comments

We were already anchored in Mayreau Harbor, so no sailing this morning. Breakfast was an onion and cheese omelette, sausage patty and fruit. The captain told us about our busy day ahead visiting three islands. We took the dinghy to the dock and departed with the other passengers. Islanders were working on the cover of a part of the dock…

Moonhole

Tobago Keys

We set sail even earlier today – 4am departure, with breakfast at 8. I stayed in bed past breakfast hoping my constant motion sickness would settle and joined Larry on deck in time to see us pass by the tiny island of Moonhole, where stone homes have been built into and on top of the island. Many don’t even have…

Bequia

It was an early morning departure again as we headed to the island of Bequia (pronounced “Beck-Wee”). We departed at 5, but after yesterday’s sickness, I decided to try to stay in my bunk and sleep until we arrived. I got up at just before 8 as we were nearing the island, and the crew was lowering the sails. We…

The day began very early. We set sail out of Port Louis Marina at 5am. We joined the crew up top to see the sails being raised (with a bagpipe version of Amazing Grace playing on the sound system). We caught a beautiful Caribbean sunrise, and the weather was perfect. We hung out for a bit, until we got to…

The Diamant

Boarding the Diamant

Posted on October 16, 2011 by Larry | 0 Comments

I got up early and decided to go for a run. I dropped the car keys off under the mat and left the car unlocked for Lorry to pick up later. He said he wasn’t afraid of the car being stolen (not much crime on Grenada), and often just left the car running with the keys in it. I guess…

St. Georges Spice Market

St. Georges & Grand Anse

Posted on October 15, 2011 by Sheri | 0 Comments

Another early day planned – the market in St. Georges is at its best on Saturdays between 8 and noon. Larry and I are extremely causal and laid back travelers, but one thing we never miss is the local market. I was on the hunt for more spices and some local honey. We started the day with breakfast on the…

Grenada, Day 2

Posted on October 14, 2011 by Larry | 0 Comments

We got packed up for a day on the road by 8am, when our rental car guy, Lorry, showed up. But first – breakfast on our patio using ingredients provided by the hotel. Fresh squeezed, orange juice, soft boiled eggs, buttered toast. Heaven. We thought the rental car would be dropped off at the hotel, but we were wrong. First…

Grenada, Day 1

Posted on October 13, 2011 by Sheri | 0 Comments

We woke early to intermittent rain and it wasn’t long before we were asleep again. Long travel days preceded by a sleepless night just isn’t that easy to bounce back from when you’re pushing middle age. Our villa had been stocked with fruit (great local bananas, not those crappy cavendish we get I’m the US), so we had something to…

Grenada: Maca Bana Resort

SFO – Grenada

Posted on October 13, 2011 by Larry | 0 Comments

We stayed up the night before we left, since we had a 3:30am car picking us up for a 6AM flight (we could have left later since it was considered a national flight to Miami instead of an international one to Grenada). Poor Coco was not happy as we either sat on our laptops doing mainly last minute work or…
