Best Travel Experience of 2009
I rarely sit and veg when I’m on vacation. Even if I’m not working, I still feel compelled to see everything that I possibly can, duck into hotels to check out rooms, take notes for future stories, post on my blog. I can’t help it. It’s the way I’m wired.
The Grenadines...

Caribbean Trip Report: SVG
My trip report from our St. Vincent & the Grenadines vacation is up. As I’ve said in previous posts on Mustique and Tobago Cays, this was one of the most relaxing trips that Don and I have ever taken. It’s nice to slow down once in a while! And SVG is a great place to do that…

Christmas Carols, Caribbean style
When the forecast reads, “Chance of Snow: Never,” it’s a bit strange to hear Bing Crosby warbling “White Christmas.”
But it’s happened throughout these past two weeks in Grenada, St. Vincent and Bequia. Christmas starts early here- at least on the radio.

Vacation Days, Decided!
About a month ago, I asked people to help me decide where to go for my last week of vacation (at the time, I had four days left, but I picked up another comp day for working while I was in Arizona). It also needed to be cheap – around $800 for four nights.
There were some great suggestions. Former...
