Today was a travel day. We woke up at 6 am, to shower, eat breakfast and finish packing to leave. Arlene, our hostess had arranged for Gideon’s Taxi Service to pick us up at 8 am and deposit us at the airport. The airline had emailed a day or two ago, moving our flight fromContinue reading “Are you wearing deodorant today?”

Today was our last full day on Bequia before we start the long multi-day journey home. We had nothing booked for today but had loosely agreed to go on the first morning dive with the dive shop. You need to have at least 12 to 18 hours of a ‘surface interval’ after diving before flyingContinue reading “No, No, You’re Diving”

Today was the day! The day we sail to the Tobago Cays aboard the Friendship Rose. We woke up early with an alarm because we needed to be at the Friendship Rose dock by 6:50. Thankfully, they were going to feed us aboard the 100 foot schooner, so we really only needed to gather ourContinue reading “C’mon Andy, we’ll Brexit together!”

Last night we spent a good long time talking with Kevin from Mac’s Pizza. Our Nirvana Pizza might have been forgotten by the waitress or kitchen, but we were relaxing, talking and having a good time, so we didn’t care. The only trouble was that made it a three drinks night and Mac’s has theContinue reading “The Things You Do For Love”

We woke up several times in the night because 27 C was too hot and 26 C was too cold. These are first-world problems for sure. Luckily for us, our host keeps light blankets in the room and we happily donned them at who knows what hour. There’s no clock in our room and thatContinue reading “Personal Growth is So Overrated”

We woke up today with the intention of making breakfast at our apartment, getting ready, and heading to the beach for a half-day before our 2:30 dive date. Nathan was putzing around our little kitchen, making breakfast and coffee, and I was slyly messaging Airbnb support. Turns out, there’s only so much personal growth thatContinue reading “Don’t Die in Your Sleep Tonight, Cuz I’d Get Arrested”

That rascal Fibs, I miss him so much. He has been at a board and train since November 8, learning himself some manners. There are beach dogs galore here, like Dominican Republic, and it’s so hard not to pet them! Stupid Kaiser! This guy visited while we were under our tent at the beach, butContinue reading “I Miss Fibs!”

Last night, we arrived on Bequia around 5:30. Our little plane ride from Barbados dropped people off at Union Island, then Canouan, then finally us at Bequia. The plane was a 20 seater, with 2 pilots! Maybe that’s why the ticket was so dang expensive. We got off the plane, cleared immigration, then customs. TheContinue reading “I Have Everything You Need For The Beach”

So, we’ve had a fairly uneventful journey up until now. Well, that’s not entirely true. On Monday, there was a little dust up when Nathan’s boss discovered that we would be gone all next week. Apparently, whatever the normal procedure for getting vacation time onto his calendar hadn’t been followed. Whoops! I told Nathan I’dContinue reading “I Don’t Have a Plane For You Yet…”
