Barbados Bound – The Start of a Visit to this Friendly Caribbean Country
This is the first of thirteen posts from my first visit to Barbados in 2015. I returned in 2018 and found things very much as I had on the first visit and added this post on Apes Hill Golf Course which every golfer should play while on the island. I will be the first to […]

Royal Naval Dockyard – Why It’s A Must Visit In Bermuda
Our first full day in Bermuda looks very promising. From the balcony of our room at the Southampton Princess I can tell it is going to be a hot one. This is the only day that we don’t have a golf game scheduled so the plan is to take the free ferry from the Waterlot […]

Listening to Harlan Coben’s excellent thriller Six […]

Useppa Island – Try to Get There Once in Your Lifetime
We have been visiting Southwest Florida for over 30 years and have always chosen Sanibel Island as our place of refuge from the interminable Canadian winters. During our stays on the Sanibel we have always made a point of visiting the other barrier islands including Captiva, North Captiva, Cayo Costa and Cabbage Key. But one […]
