All trips have a beginning......


The reason angels can fly is because they take themselves lightly


The day of my trip arrived. Suitcases are packed. I have a head cold and am not really happy about flying. Taxi ride to JFK was easy. Check in at airport surprisingly fast. Place is empty.Quick stop in duty free shop to pick up 2 bottles of Spirits.  Maybe everyone is still in a food coma from Thanksgiving?

 Landed in Barbados on time. Was at the Immigration booth quickly, and then crash, splash, oh no! One bottle of very expensive scotch is broken on the floor. All over the floor.... At the Immigration booth. After pointing down, and explaining she just said go..(Not even sure she even looked at me). Grabbed the wet bag full of leaky broken glass and dripping. I walked baggage was claimed and customs took about 1 minute  I am. free in Barbados. As I walk out the door, my bag is searched for my phone to call my friend Ownway and Irene as they were to meet me. Surprise! In 10 seconds I am holding a Banks Beer, sugar cane, and being greeted and hugged by Brad. Nice surprise! Right behind him is Ownway, and more hugs. Next to car and Irene. Out of airport in 2 minutes. Day is beautiful and Sun is shinning. We head for lunch......Chinese take out. Okay. (smile). Gives us all a chance to talk and exchange news.



Check in at Coral Sands Hotel, went easily and room was waiting. We all gathered on the terrace to lunch. Day perfect for it. At some point during lunch my ears unclogged and hearing was restored. Afterwards unpacking and relaxing.  At some point the rains came and went...and the night was great...Had dinner at Mojo's....Good company, food, drink and vibe!
