  • I Guess We’re Friends Now!

    I Guess We’re Friends Now!

    Sadly, all adventures must come to an end, and this is our last full day in Grenada. We got up around 6 am and leisurely ate breakfast. The plan today is to walk towards the airport and Magazine Beach. Because its so close to the airport, its not on any bus route, so to getContinue…


  • Could End Up in Venezuela!

    Could End Up in Venezuela!

    Holy smokes, did it rain in the night. We woke up to a puddle on the kitchen floor. Not sure where that came from, but Nathan thinks it came in possibly from the outlet the fridge is plugged into. Always a comforting thought. Since we went to the grocery store yesterday, we had yogurt forContinue…


  • Do You Have the Sandwiches?

    Do You Have the Sandwiches?

    We weren’t starting off on a very good foot. Even before Cat Eye dropped us off at the dive shop, we knew we had forgotten our lunch. We had run out of yogurt for breakfast this morning, so we made eggs, and the added prep and clean up time caused for a bit of aContinue…


  • Now that’s a scary eel!

    Now that’s a scary eel!

    Cat Eye was once again waiting for us when we walked down the drive at the appointed time. His taxi has a green paint job, and he’s accentuated it by wearing a green outfit (shorts and t-shirt) green shoes with green laces and even green glasses. Super sharp. He drove us to the dive shopContinue…


  • Huge Lobsters!

    Huge Lobsters!

    It rained again in the night, and it was a little hard to get up this morning. Our place is super cozy and quiet. So much different from last year where we heard party music all night, every night in Utila. Its very easy to sleep here. The air conditioning is swell and the builtContinue…


  • Burgers and Sandwishes!

    Burgers and Sandwishes!

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from Grenada. We woke up to skies that threatened to rain, a rain soaked deck, and an invitation to Friendsgiving back in Colorado. I waited until an appropriate time of day in Colorado to send my regards and regrets. Today’s the day. We finally will get on the dive boat withContinue…


  • Are you big eaters?

    Are you big eaters?

    Last night for dinner, we went back to One Love and shared a pizza. Sometimes pizza really hits the spot, but the winner last night was the homemade gelato, made from Grenadian chocolate. Yes, please! Once we got home from dinner it rained pretty heavily, and we were thankful that we were tucked inside. We’veContinue…


  • Nathan on Land, Bob in the Water

    Nathan on Land, Bob in the Water

    Last night’s dinner was Indian food out of a shipping container and it was so good. The Container Park is close to the college and a 10 minute walk from our place. That said, the prices were the highest we’ve seen yet. I guess these college students have bigger budgets than Nathan and I didContinue…


  • Do I need shoes?

    Do I need shoes?

    Today, we still did not get up with the chickens, but both of us were up by 7 am. We organized our place, and by we, I mean, Nathan organized. He also made coffee. So we enjoyed coffee and tried to wake up. Nathan said it rained overnight, but I saw no evidence of this.Continue…


  • Estaba buenisimo!

    Estaba buenisimo!

    Our AirBnB hostess was kind enough to stock our kitchen with the basics for our first breakfast. Coffee, milk, juice, bread, and eggs. It was a huge relief last night to land and know that we didn’t need to rush out to the grocery store. This morning we got up long past the chickens. WeContinue…


  • “It’s Your Captain Again…”

    “It’s Your Captain Again…”

    We have arrived in Grenada. I was hoping to have a quiet week at work, and it mostly was, aside from a few heart attack inducing moments that were unnecessary. Nathan is currently experiencing the calm between jobs and since calm is a word that’s never been uttered at my job, to get away mostlyContinue…
