The long ride home...

Up at 4 to catch out 6am flight from Grenada to Barbados. As Barry doesn't do bagels, he enjoyed a lovely chicken snack for breakfast.

Barry with his pink chicken snack box and his tourist shirt - he was trying to 'blend'!

From Barbados, we travelled to Dallas - and caught our connection in time for the flight to Vancouver. We noticed how great the weather is here, can hardly wait to see how the spring flowers are doing at home!

We are catching the noon flight to Kelowna on Wednesday (today) and right now, due to the winds, the flight is delayed. But hopefully the wind will be in our favor heading east, and we will make up some time.

Anxious to see everyone - but already missing the sunshine and 35 C temperatures. 

Last day....

We got up bright and early and headed into Grand Anse. We had a few last minute things to do - and a few places to go before heading to the beach for our last beach day.



The beach wasn't crowded - got our favorite spot and settled in. A little swim, read my last book (almost finished), chatted with some people from England and watched a local craftsman make a basket for us to take home.



After the beach, we went back to the apartment to finish packing and shower, before heading out for our last dinner. Barry made reservations so we could sit on the beach and enjoy the sounds of the waves one last time - for now!



After dinner, we headed back, said our goodbyes to Alan & Janet (our neighbours from the UK) and our goodbyes to our host, Yvonne.

Not sure if we are excited to go home or worried we will sleep through the alarm and miss our flight - but we stayed up late and only ended up with about 3 hours sleep....

Now the long flights home...
