The Lagoon, St. George's, Grenada

Tuesday I finally sat down to catch up on the blog and get us up to date after all the nagging I had received about our tardiness! I’d filled in gaps from 26th Jan – 5th Feb previously and finally today completed the wedding week. Kevin meanwhile went to spend some vouchers we had received as wedding presents at the local chandlery and we made our plans to depart. It is I think 6 weeks today since we arrived in Grenada, which in some ways feels like yesterday and in other ways Grenada is feeling almost like home, it will always hold a special place for us having been married here. However, it is time for us to be moving on. We have deliberated about what to do with our extra time in the Caribbean and have agreed a schedule with Alex to fit around her GCSEs. Current plan and subject to complete rewrite as always with us, is to head to the British Virgin Island on Thursday via Saint Lucia and Antigua and wherever else we feel like on the way (although there has been recent unrest on the French islands which may restrict our plans). We have until May / June to explore northwards before heading south for the hurricane season Tobago, Trinidad, Venezuela, the ABC’s (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaco). We would like to take in Belize before heading to the Panama perhaps Dec / Jan 2010.
