Happy Sunday everyone! As I'm writing this blog, I am in awe at how fast our 16 days in Barbados have gone by. In the blink of an eye, this long awaited vacation will soon be a thing of the past and we will bring home lots of wonderful new memories to cherish.
This time around, we didn't venture much outside the St-Lawrence Gap other than going out for dinner on the West coast twice. Each day brought a kind of laziness that we wanted to savour...it was a relaxing time away and we feel recharged, ready to return to our normal daily life with Cooper & Spicy. They also had a great vacation at Camp Talemaker. Like us humans, good to get away and good to go home. Everyone will return to their routine....I bet they can't wait for their daily 3 pm dehydrated chicken treat! While on vacation, Cooper got his massive coat thinned out by Darlah. She did a daily session and probably filled a whole pillow case with hair. It will not be noticeable to the naked eye but we will feel the difference in the thickness. It should make Russell's grooming job easier. It's a good job done and we thank Darlah for it.
We met some very nice people at our hotel. We had some very good chats with one couple from the UK and one from Liechtenstein. We always find it interesting to hear about how the other half lives.
Russell and I enjoyed our daily walks on the beach. We will both return home with a nice glow from the sun. We got a good dose of Vitamin D, that's for sure 🌞We ate well, had quite a bit of fish, drank lots of water during the day and enjoyed some good wine at night. Of course, a trip to Barbados wouldn't be complete without a few servings of coconut ice cream 😋Last but not least, each night brought a different sunset sky. We never get tired of watching those, each is so unique.
Yesterday morning, we witnessed the rescue of a Hawksbill turtle who got stuck under a huge rock on our beach. It was amazing to watch it all unfold. The turtle crawled away to the sea, safe and sound.
This is it. It's now 2:30 pm, we had a good morning at the beach and pool side. At lunch, we enjoyed the sounds of the Steel Band for the last time during this trip. Time for a little siesta. Tonight, we're eating at our hotel, a complimentary dinner from management. Nice!
Tomorrow morning, we will get up early, as usual, and get ready to go home. Our flight for Toronto is a 3 pm so we plan to get to the airport in good time. Russell completed the ArriveCan documents for both of us. His got approved, mine was flagged...."Please speak with the Canada Border Services Officer on entry to Canada". I expected this....my travel passport is under my married name and my vaccine passport is under my maiden name (a Quebec thing). No worries, I have my birth and marriage certificates ready to prove who I am.
We pick up the Coop and the Spice girl first thing Tuesday morning for the drive back to Montreal. We can't wait to see them. We can already feel their kisses on our faces 💖
I leave you with a few photos that we took during one of our walks to the Gap. Have a great week everyone and I will write again next Sunday!
