Grand View Inn St. George's

... to your cuban friend about eating alot of papaya.<br> <br>I have planned out the next 3 months of my life( you think I'm exagerating, but I'm not). Basically it's non-stop bussing around on the weekends to some of the crazy destinations in Nica, but I'll give more details once I have actually been there. <br><br>As far as personal life in the house goes, its pretty relaxing. On my run this morning, I saw an eight year ...

... right. For those travelling on a budget I would recommend the Rex Grenadian, it has a magnificent position the the Grand Anse beach.<br>Grenada has beaches, countryside, charming fishing villages, the friendliest possible people, well worth a visit.

... the captain we would not be joining the return. He was quite nice and understood the situation.<br><br>Back in St. George, we did some shopping in Port and explored the famous spice shops. Dot's plaza had a nice selection of spice and soaps. http://mypages.spiceisle.com/dots/ As well as many street vendors offering baskets with fresh spices. I recommend buying your spices from a ...

... the beach and the palm trees. The site was postcard beautiful. With excitement, I kept running around here and there taking pictures since we only had a few minutes. Once back in the van, we noticed that something was smelling terrible but we all kept our mouths shut thinking who was it. Finally, the driver spotted the guilty person. It was Mi. Unknown to him, he had stepped on some dog's poo while walking on the beach ...

... and inspired me to brush up a bit on my own piano playing when I get home!<br><br>Tonight was the Tropical Deck Party night, which was unfortunately rained out as we passed through a few light rain showers out at sea. The party moved to Club Fusion where we watched a huge group of people do the Chicken Dance. We must have just missed the Macarena, haha :) Then, they started a conga line and as soon as it began to approach us, we promptly fled the ...

... leave the island for Canada, Britain or the US so the future work force, and the island's traditional spice farming economy, is in jeopardy. He is a fascinating man with a great tour. I had a chance to talk with him about the politics of the Caribbean...which is very fascinating and convoluted. For example, after Hurricane Ivan leveled the island in 2004...a number of nations provided assistance to the recovery. The Chinese showed up late so ...

... and answered with a wary, "probably". He said "Great!" there was a barbeque and he wanted to invite us to attend. We ended up only staying a few days before heading to our last stop, Grenada (Grin-nay-dah). Last stop, you say? For this leg of the adventure, we will be taking a bit of a breather and will put Quest on the hard for hurricane season. We will be flying home to Juneau (via a short stay with family in the Seattle area) on May 18. We arrived in Grenada early ...

Got lots done so far. While I planned to quit drinking... I ended up putting that off till school actually starts on monday. Went out to the club "bananas" on thursday... and well the rest is history -- I already have several nicknames... none of which I am proud of At any rate.. the next morning we got up for a "rum run" which was basically a drink fest on this boat that takes us ...

... trinidad/tobago and is now travelling round all the caribbean islands. Hes at southamptom uni but actually a scouse. I may sound a bit scouse when i get home coz seem to have ended up being surrounded by the buggers! I thought the accent would be getting to me by now, but so far it hasnt managed to penetrate my inner being. Hes a sound guy tho, largely coz he brought a tennis ball which enables the MEN to play catch, a fast paced, brutal game only worthy of winners. The other guy is ...

... 3 days ago with the aftermath of the hurricane and he was literally just getting the first batch of 300 bars ready. Turned out he was from new york and had fallen in love with the process of making chocolate and perfecting it. He gave us a tour round and showed us how its all made. Its really quite complicated and time consuming which plenty of physical work involved. It was just him, another guy and two women running the place. He claimed to make the best chocolate money can buy ...
