The wife and I were made an offer we could not refuse so off we went. Great time, friends, food, spirits and the island people are so nice!
We left DFW had a layover in Miami then onto the island.

I will probably have about 5 post of pictures to follow...

When I saw this football player in the glass it was so life like it was freaky eeks333

Headed to the house now.
Rented a Suzuki car which had the steering wheel and controls on the opposite side, you drive on the opposite side of the street and the hardest thing to get used to was the Blinkers and Windshield Wiper switches on the opposite sides of what we normally drive.

Went scuba diving at Eden Rock and it was a lot of fun, will get certified and do it some more. First dive she would not let me take my camera and it was suppose to be a shallow water training for 45 minutes, after about 5-10 minutes my instructor said I was doing so well forget this and head to the coral reefs.

Second dive took my camera and we went down around 40 feet for about 45 minutes. I need to work on the camera thing.

Weather was interesting

Took about 5 different video, this is the only one short enough without boring stuff to post now, when I learn to edit the others I will post them also.

Tukka Restaurant had the best darn Fish and chips I have ever had. Neat history on this eastern shore that it overlooks.

They hand you binoculrs so you can see the reef and the remains of ships that have run into them. I edited the picture and put two Yellow bars so you get an idea of where the ship wreck remains are,

We grabbed trash bags and did beach clean up in the mornings, they say most of the trash is from other islands like Cuba, Jamaica and Haiti.
Pics below are from behind and the left and right sides of the house we are staying in.
Portion of the beach is clean soft sand and 80 yards later piled up with sea shells and coral, made for a nice mix especially walking up and down the beach.

Great pics. Always sucks to leave a place like that.


Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

Question does anyone know how to properly clean these, when we found them they had very good color now they have faded.
Wife was rinsing them off with our Dallas water I told her probably a bad idea with Chlorine in the water.

We loved it!! We drove around the island a couple of times went to Pedro St. James and other historical spots and the people were so nice.
Saw a couple of places I wanted to stop at but it was to early to start drinking grin Missed out on some Rum tasting going on so given the opportunity we would definitely go again.

At this Czech inn Grill there was always an interesting group of folks hanging out (except in this pic it was early) and thought it would be neat to have a beer or three with them.

And I thought it would be interesting to see who are the Jerks Standing?

It was a workout trying to get the pictures you like best from your own camera, cell phone, wifes phone who would upload 15 one day, 30 another, 20 and so on to make sure I do not receive and post anything she deems unflattering of her wife
Now I have to figure out how to edit the long videos so I can show the off the Mermaid on Hump Day grin

Thanks all.
