Divi Heritage Resort St. James

Barbados was great (we stayed in Holetown) – fabulous weather, a fully equipped apartment near the shops, bars and restaurants, in a great location with beach frontage.

We ate well, slept a lot, lay on the white sand beach, swam and snorkelled and went to the Cropover festival. We watched the amazing procession of floats, equipped with massive speakers, churning out reggae, as young (and not so ...

... in front of them, others staff members trying to use their benefits but falling short. The customer service of the AA representatives was horrendous enough to be worthy of its own blog, but it's not one I feel like writing right now. We were all trying different options. We thought about trying from different airlines - everything is full. Different islands, everything is full. We even thought ...

This is my third day trying to get out of the island on standby. I was 38/47 on the list earlier. So many families of staff members using their tickets for holiday.. It's insanity. It seems to be impossible to get out of the Caribbean right now! Hopefully I'll figure out something soon, otherwise I may have to cancel parts of my itinerary.. :(

... up this thing. After some serious summing of wills, I managed to throw myself off of this thing, SCREAMING on the way down. Tried to go again, and just froze. Not a chance in hell. Soon after, we left Crane to continue to our next major stop - the real east coast, Bathsheba! Jason's weird directions changed our route from "around the island" to "right through the middle of the island", passing through Gun Hill, where there's a large statue of a lion. During this drive ...

Dear Blog,

As much as I enjoyed this morning's excursion, this afternoon, I am off to a coast to coast scenic drive of Barbados. I opted for this excursion because I wanted to take in as much as possible of the island's highlights.

After we boarded our air-conditioned mini bus, off we went through the center of Bridgetown. We saw sights such as Heroes Square and the Houses of Parliament. We then drove by the Lion at Gun Hill Signal ...

After being given a safety briefing and snorkel lesson by the guide, everyone on the boat entered the water to swim among the turtles. Mi did not take any time. Off he went in the water, as for myself, well, I was a little bit hesitant. I went in the last one. The water was pure crystalline and warm as I slowly made my way in.

Adrenaline started to take effect as I spotted underneath me four ...

... stop is Africa, four days away.),and today we experienced the kind of torrential rain you can only find close to the Equator...but more about that later. We started the morning in the sunshine on a shore excursion with a professional photojournalist who makes his home on Barbados. This is one excursion we were really looking forward to because Deb and I are crazy picture-takers and this excursion held the promise of being taken to the most beautiful ...

... experience several days ago yielded exactly what we needed, plus allowed us to leave just a few small non-perishables behind for the next visitors. And now we sit and reflect on all that we have experienced over this past week; all of the people we have met; those who have served and helped us; and all that God has prepared for our enjoyment. What a blessing it has all been. Now we retire on our final night in Barbados and anticipate our departure tomorrow afternoon.

... t even put on my cleats, and i think any football i play here will just be pick-up games organized with friends from the block or something. i was disappointed that i felt this way, since i really love soccer and had looked forward to playing while i was here. at the same time, however, i don't think that i would have much fun playing for the team. maybe another sport, like basketball. we'll have to see in the future. socially, i've come to realize a lot of things about myself ...
