Barely missed the hurricane
... because it's so far south. To say the least, it pleasant information to hear. As soon as I stepped off the plane in Barbados I think I began to profusly sweat. But I guess that comes with the territory. It's one of the sacrafices that I'm more than ...

Diving, and the Real Barbados, Part I

A Day in the Life of ....
... as there were various options about how far south to head and when to turn west. Now we are on a due west heading directly for Barbados so no great course or sail changes. Previously this had been the busiest time of the day when we made the relevant ...
Let's Just Chill Today
We had big plans for today - shopping, sightseeing, more snorkeling. But as it turned out, we just chilled. After a leisurely breakfast, we decided to abandon our original plans, and instead just hang around. David and Arlette went snorkeling, while we ...
Over to the East Side
... challenge. So the bus is a very peaceful alternative. For a little adventure, we ate dinner at the Chefette -- a native Barbados fast food joint. Travis had a surprisingly delicious burger and fries, and I had a very satisfying chicken roti - ...
Island time....
I suppose I can only attribute my lack of updating my travelogue to my new found "island time." Everything here runs on this system, if you can even call it a system, of absolute relaxation. I've always considered myself somewhat laid back, go with the ...
The month of adjustment...
Well, it has been over a month since I've written to you all. I apologize. So much has happened, but I'll start where I left off... The pageant went surprising well. As anticipated, I'm not a beauty queen. But, what's more encouraging is that I didn't ...
A little cooler
