... of towering mountains and cascading rivers. Stepping back in time, you are miles away from the modern world and its fast pace, time moves slowly in Dominica and that is the way Dominicans like it.<br><br>see full story at BookingsDominica travelogue <br><br>http://bookingsdominica.com/dom inica-nature-island.cfm<br>

... green eyes and his golden blondish, thick, soft hair. And I don't believe that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. That relationship cost me too much. Years of pain. I haven't thought about any part of that relationship except the breakup almost since it happened. 14 years ago. Now he is mythical, like a unicorn. It doesn't matter anymore and it hasn't for so long. All that matters is the pain that I ...

... brown sugar and butter inside. Quite good. Joyce gave me several presents to bring back. Very nice of her. I gave her and Jem chocolate bars from Trader Joe's but didn't have a full one to give to brenda. I felt bad about that. I wonder if I will ever come back here. Probably not to live but it is a hiker's paradise, Especially for somebody much more dedicated than ...

... a half hour though the rain forest. Straight up and straight down over the mountain ridges. I'm not sure I am interested in hiking, if that is the way it is. It is wild here. Wild in ways that your average American cannot imagine. I'm deep in culture shock, not because of the people, they all seem great, but just because of the lifestyle. I've given up on being either clean or dry, or smelling good or looking good. There are no mirrors in this house ...

... it's incredibly worth it! I recommend renting one of the lifejackets or noodles if you're not a strong swimmer, as the current can be strong. However, it's not a long swim to the end. The waterfall at the end of the gorge is breathtaking...We're shooting ourselves every day, since no one brought their water cameras...but that scene will stay with us.<br><br>Afterwards we had the choice of going to Trafalgar falls or ...

... unevenly paved in some places and the landscape mountainous. We made our way to our first stop to view one of the Caribbean's most picturesque waterfalls, the Trafalgar Falls. These twin falls cascade into a deep pool and are surrounded by forest, lush ferns and tropical foliage. <br><br>Since it was still raining as we stepped out of the van, umbrellas were opened and raincoats put on. The 15 minute walk to ...

... movements of a boat at sea...needless to say, I lost twice, but it was so much fun. <br><br> Afterwards, we enjoyed an evening stroll around the upper decks of the ship. Even right now, there is still a very warm breeze and the stars are all out tonight. You could see one island way off in the distance, as well as a couple of ships, but the rest is blackness. You can see the dark waves right around the boat, especially at ...

... blog. I however did not see a sign that said NO PICTURES IN THE CUSTOM AREA. Yes the police came right over and ask me if I could read. I said yes and was so sorry that I did not see the sign. They were not pleased but just gave me a look and said don't do it again. My heart was pounding. I just want to get out of that airport and away from all the people. Finally I was through the door and out. Brother Mike was standing right there and took a picture of me coming through ...

Even though I don't have pictures yet, I thought I'd write about the outside scene here. There is a crew deck right on the bow of the ship, and everynight I go out to get some fresh air and the stars are amazing. There are shooting stars pretty much every night, and you can see a lot more constelations, I've been trying to re-learn them. I also went snokeling the other ...

... we are...<br><br> Dominica - probably not a place we will return to any time soon, but interesting enough to spend one vacation, good for diving, very relaxed, calm, peaceful and beautiful.Certainly not a place for beaches or big parties and I do not think I would like to go there all by myself either.<br ...
