No Apology!

Imagine, one hour delay on a Liat flight tonight and the BWIA people (they handle flights for Liat) don't even come and say boo to the passengers!

Then, the flight attendant welcomes us on board, and not an apology. It took the captain or F/O to apologize then tell us the whole long shi-bang about why the flight was late. He used the words "what not" in his delivery.

Anyhow, I man not apologizing for being in the Spice Isle now. More anon

Some people are blessed in that way...being in the right place at the right time! Please remember me if you come across any more "proper jobs" there or any where in your travels!

Ah Michelle, lucky you. I love Grenada, we missed each other the last time Antoinette and I were there remember?

We went all over the island and ate in nearly all the hotels and resturants.

I'm looking forward to an extended vacation next year after I have settled into the new job, probably Antigua, St. Lucia and St. Vincent, yeah we want to tour two or three islands in two weeks, we'll probably need a vacation to get over this vacation lol

Please nuh bodda start with LIAT. I could easily do a post about my little four hour delay with them and the 'hattitude' that was dished out to us by the feisty girl at the counter. And people so love to cuss Air Jamaica.

The Eastern Caribbean is definitely IT for a chill-out vacation. Well, since I've been to all those you mentioned Dale, I'm setting my sights on Anguilla, Turks and Caicos and probably St Kitts next time.

When I had just started to work, I wrote down 5 goals in life. One was that I visualized myself sunning my bun on the South of France. OK, so I made it to Paris. But then, one of my other goals was to go to all the Caribbean islands. I am up to 10, so have another 10 or so to go! So next cluster of islands was them three I mentioned.

Dr D, if only Liat were more efficient. More of us would take Caribbean island hopping trips. They just don't get it - the relationship between excellent customer service and profits!
