Siri and David are starting on their many adventures in 2026. We are currently headed to the Dominican Republic to visit Siri’s Peace Corps host family – haven’t been back in 35 years (!) so it will be quite the reunion. Then we plan to visit Grenada and Barbados with college friends. If you would like to receive posts in your inbox, just sign up below.
Beach day
Saturday, April 11, 2026 – Bridgetown, Barbados We leaned all in on the island vibe. Rented chairs and an umbrella for our morning swim and float in the waves (tried without too much success to body surf), had lunch next door on the beach, and then a long walk along the boardwalk almost all the… Continue reading Beach day
Easy-ing into it
Friday, April 10, 2026 As midnight approaches at the end of our first full day in Barbados, we are chatting with two 70-year-old englishmen over mojitos and local beers at the back of the ‘car bar’ – a cuban run converted van that has its back doors open up to a full bar, and the… Continue reading Easy-ing into it
Official visit and Grenada-isms

We had heard from a visiting Venezualan that Grenada… Continue reading Official visit and Grenada-isms

No, the two beers and the peanut butter and jelly did not make it into this… Continue reading We say good-bye – to Grenada
A day off island
Tuesday, April 7, 2026 – Carriacou, Grenada We spent the afternoon on Paradise Beach on nearby Carriacou island. That is the real name of this sandy beach in a traquil protected cove with a few houses and stores. No hotels, no resorts, mostly locals in the water and few colorful fishing boats. We had planned… Continue reading A day off island
Around the island in 8+ hours
Monday, April 6, 2026 – Grenada Today we circumnavigated the island of Grenada – at least the Northern part. Our first 19 miles were on a windy, steep and often one lane road that took us over an hour. I guess it is the island telling you, imploring you, to slow down. We enjoy the small… Continue reading Around the island in 8+ hours
