Valentine’s Day doesn’t have much of an impact around here. We have a schedule that lets us go out to dinner whenever we want and we tend to spend our money on travel instead of jewelry and presents. But we have been lucky enough to travel on some romantic trips in the five+ years we’ve...

Island Windjammers runs just one itinerary right now – a round-trip from Grenada through the Grenadines. Luckily, it’s a great one for sailors and beach lovers alike, as the Grenadines are full of lovely areas to snorkel, swim and explore, including the beautiful-beyond-belief Tobago Cays. What...

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...

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… Read...

The perfect desert islands do exist! The Tobago Cays, in the Grenadines, are now my happy place, where I’m going to escape in my head whenever things get too stressful. Accessible from both Grenada and the Grenadines,  these uninhabited islands – five in all – served as the lonely...

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. At a lovely...

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...
