We arrived in port on the island of Grenada about 7:00 this morning. We were met by a local tour guide, Mandoo, who owns his own tour business and has a very nice 10 passenger van. He was dressed in a white shirt and pants looking like a ship crew member. We soon found out that he was very articulate and had a huge amount of knowledge and pride ...

Boo boo and triple boo! Our last week has been wonderful! Basically we just "lived" here, with a nice snorkeling trip thrown in. Would we recommend Grenada to others?? A big big yes! Grand Anse beach really isn't overrated at all. We never had to fight for space (refer to our Flickr site to see for yourself; we were actually asked if we rented t...

....and we are finally starting to understand the locals, mon! ha

31 décembre 2007: Grenada / Veille du Jour de l'An- 28 C, ensoleillé A notre réveil, ou plutôt quand le réveil matin a sonné, nous sommes déjà arrivés à Grenada. Le soleil miroite sur les petites maisons colorées des collines qui bordent la capitale de Grenada, St-Georges. Mais notre vue s'est rapidement obstruée par l'arrivée du AidaVita, un na...

We enjoy checking out the national flags flying on the boats around us. Mostly we see US, French, German, Canada and Italian flags. Occasionally we'll see New Zealand, Austria, Turkey, Brazil and Australia. There are some that we can't recognize and believe them to be state flags of other nations. Other obvious signs of live aboard cruisers are ...

Hi everyone, Well, its been both and eventful few days, and at the same time very boring...namely hurricane emily But before that there was the usual drinking and stupidity that goes with international medical student travel.
