Hello from beautiful Barbados! Here we are, after months and months of waiting for this trip. Well worth the wait!
We arrived yesterday. We had a wonderful flight, on time and no issues with clearing COVID protocols and such. We touched down at 1:28 pm and were in a cab, en route for our hotel, 20 minutes later. Couldn't have asked for a smoother transit.
Upon arriving at our hotel, we were greeted with open arms. It was truly nice to see some familiar faces from our last trip in 2019. There was a lovely fruit basket waiting for us in our kitchen. This morning, I made a yummy fruit salad for the next few days.
Once we checked in, we unpacked then went to the bar for a refreshing drink. We opted for an early dinner and called it a night at 8:30 pm. We woke up at 6 this morning, feeling refreshed. The only thing missing was the morning lickings from Cooper and Spicy 💖We hear they are doing well and having a good time. We do miss them!
We had a leisurely coffee on our balcony while watching the waves. They have been quite strong in the past few days...red flag on the beach! We then set out for a walk to the Gap's convenience store to buy a few staples. When we got back, we hit the beach for a couple of hours....part shade, part sun. Can't go crazy on the first day! Russell walked the length of the beach twice (2.5 km)....good for him. I did nothing....total laziness on my first day 😂
The Barbados Steel Band was on today at our hotel, every Sunday at lunch time. A wonderful way to really kick off our vacation!
That's about it for today. Time to shower, get ready for tonight's outing. Have a great week everyone!
