I never thought I'd actually see the day when I finally managed to see sense and do what I've been dithering about for the last three years. I needed an incentive to go but no matter how much I asked people to be nasty to me, they just wouldn't, dammit! So I decided to take matters into my own hands. I gave myself a kick up the backside and told myself to stop moaning and just get on with it!

So many choices and so many places but all I've managed to decide on so far is to start in Venezuela and then follow my nose. Well, if truth must be told, I'm pampering myself a bit beforehand with a wee visit to Madrid and Antigua. Two guys from the rowing club are teaming up to row the Atlantic with their finishing point in Antigua. I was tempted to go for the cheap fare and hide in their boat before they set off and surprise them with a 'ta-da' when they left shore, but then sense got the better of me when I realised it would mean a month of football and cars!!!

Right, time to go surfing and see what else there is in the Caribbean, the prospect of even three days on the beach scares me right now!!!

PS, for those wondering about the name of the travelogue, it was bestowed upon me by the nincompoops I coxed who had limited brain power when it came to pronouncing foreign names!!! Although I prefer to think it was because of dictionary.com's second definition: A girl, especially a beautiful one. ;-)
