Friends And A Cold Carib In Grenada: The Perfect Vacation<\/p>\n
I had the pleasure of traveling to Grenada, for the first time, in July of 2008. My fiancee is from Grenada and I wanted, not only to go on a little vacation, but mainly, to meet her family.<\/p>\n
I was truly amazed to see how warm and welcoming Grenadians were on a whole<\/strong>. In most territories, a stranger in town is, well, treated like a stranger, but in Grenada, it’s quite the reverse.<\/p>\n I had heard so much about the Fish Fry at Gouyave<\/a> (I tuned in to Wee Fm everyday. Sorry, but I had to get a head start on my bearings), and when I finally got there, it was everything that I had expected to be. Once again, in this beautiful, street-fair setting, Grenadian hospitality took center stage. Everyone there was so kind and welcoming: from the ladies on the corner, selling little portraits of a woman dressed in Grenadian clothes, to the guy on the other side, who was preparing what seemed to be an oriental dish. Isn’t that something? (Smile)<\/p>\n The Island is beautiful, nature preserved in it’s purest form. I enjoyed driving from Grenville to St. Georges, via the rain forest (after I got accustomed to the narrow and winding roads, of course). This was too funny: when returning to Grenville from St. Georges, I would always get lost on that road that lead to the Annandale Waterfalls<\/a>. That junction could be a little tricky, I’m sure most of you would agree. Especially if you have a tour-guide fiancee that goes to sleep and tells you that the way home is simply to stay on the straight road. Wow, some experience that was: we spent more time getting back on track, than actually going home.<\/p>\n Hello! Do I need to mention Club Karma?<\/a> This club is a state of the art facility that no other in the world can look down upon. I really enjoyed the show that included Ajamu, Tall Pree and the great Doctor Sparrow. I certainly cannot leave out the Heat Wave band,as they were the ones that held everything together with their sugary notes. I also met Jon, I believe he manages the place. For a guy who runs such a top notch facility, he is so down to earth.<\/p>\n I was only able to spend a little over a week in Grenada, and there is just so little you could do in a week. That’s why I’m already planning my return trip to Grenada. If all goes well, I’ll be taking advantage of your hospitality, once again, from December 22nd.<\/p>\n See You Soon:<\/p>\n Derrick Huggins by Derrick Huggins (Nevis, West Indies) Friends And A Cold Carib In Grenada: The Perfect Vacation I had the pleasure of traveling to Grenada, for the first time, in July of 2008.
