Quick update

It's been a month or so since coming back from my 7 day cruise and I seem to be quickly forgetting it, so I will write about it.

Barbados a beautiful island, just perfect enough to start giving you that island feel.

St Vincent, Oh St Vincent I didn't really enjoy this island, there were plenty of things to do but you had to hire a cab to take you to and from, for about $50 bucks or so. I said nope, this was our 2nd day on the trip and that can add up. So we took the convis with the local people to the beach for 25 cent instead. Not a bad deal. Oh and as soon as it became dark we headed back to the boat, didn't feel too safe there.

Bequia, I'm in love with Bequia. If I ever decide to runaway from life you can find me there. The people are so friendly and I loved the experience of my first water taxi ride straight to the beach. The little boat would drop you off at the beach and pick you up right on the beach, I love it!

Martinique, people seemed no to want to speak to you if you didn't know French. It was the most difficult island to maneuver cause of the language thing. I did find out while at a restaurant that Le Poissone is not Poison but Fish :) Call me a dumb American but seeing it on a menu didn't seem too appetizing.

Granada, hustler city. As soon as we got off the boat we were surrounded by people who were trying to sell us aromatic spices and tours. People there weren't the friendliest. The city is gorgeous.

St Lucia this would be the 2nd place you should look for me if I ever decided to run away. The beach, sun,people all bring it to a close 2nd for running away to.

There you have it a quick tidbit on one of many little trips.

BTW I quit my job to go back to school. My posts will be less often than they are now. Will try my best to write if you care.

I cant wait for my next trip THE FRENCH RIVIERA! but that wont be till next year, till then money will be tight and I will be working hard to stay alive.
Thanks and see you all on the flip side!
