After 5 incredible months of living in Grenada, we have moved on. Even though it was a very emotional goodbye last year, in a way, it was harder to leave this year because we were that much more attached to the people, the pets and our life there.
But, we’re travellers and our feet get itchy! The time had come for us to move on and explore other parts of our world. We were sad to go, but thinking that we’ll be returning to our favourite island in about 6 months made it that much easier to leave.
Partying at J’ouvert, Carnival with our friends, Rolando and Kendra.
A beautiful sky above our second house sit property.
Some local guys that live near us – they made us the best meal!
Nick and Darryl…those are some big beers!
The walks along the jagged, rocky coastline are beautiful.
This band, For The Love of Music, are amazing!
Me and my friend Amanda having a girls day at the beach bar.
A lovely hiking path leads to Hog Island.
Discarded nutmeg shells line many walkways.
Working with these kind of views was very distracting!
Lush and green, this is why we love the wet season in the tropics.
A local watering hole near our friend’s house – a great place to cool off with the kids.Dinghy concerts are unique concerts out on the water.
The towering Royal Mount Carmel Falls.
Look at the size of this mango compared to that spoon! I’ve never seen one so large.
And last but not least, a goat!
There you have it. This is what our lives as bloggers looked like while living in Grenada. Since leaving the country, we headed to Canada for a quick 10 day visit with family, before travelling to where we currently are…Barbados!
Stay tuned to hear about our first impressions of this Caribbean island 🙂

Granada looks AMAZING! How did you get all of those dog sit gigs? I just might have to explore that. I sure wouldn’t mind a few months on a gorgeous island!!
House / pet sitting has been really great for us. The dogs we’ve taken care of in different countries have been sweethearts 🙂 We are through Trusted House Sitters. Check out the link here. If you book with our link, we get a small commission, but doesn’t cost you any extra. Thanks for the support!
Great pics. Looks like a great place to celebrate Christmas and New Years Eve. We were thinking of you as we munched on our subs on Saturday. Thanks so much for the gift certificate. Enjoy your travels. Keep safe. Love, Nan and Charlie
If you change your mind and make up new plans for next year, I can take over in Grenada… 😉 I can get testimonials from a family in Green Street, St George’s, where I ended up amidst a bitch with a litter, that were all very sick. Changed my plans and 6 weeks later they were healthy and I could start my touring the island. Great experience both! Well I know you will give me the link to Trusted House Sitters, which I may use someday… It’s very nice to follow you in G-da and elsewhere!

My dad went to medical school in Grenada for 2 years and absolutely loved it! He wants to take us there eventually, but we haven’t found time to do so! I also have a dog named Macy, what a small world! Grenada looks beautiful–white sandy beaches, crystal blue water, and beautiful plants/trees. Hopefully I can take pictures that capture the beauty of Grenada like these ones!
Hi, I am a born Grenadian living in the U S and enjoy your videos. Of course it gets me homesick but it makes me appreciate growing up on that beautiful island. Glad that you enjoyed your stay. Your blôgs and posts are amazing. Keep up the great work.

Prepare For Travel
This is amazing! We’ve been moving city to city within the US to explore a new area and have just started talking about moving abroad.
Excellent! Good luck to you 🙂
Looks like such a great experience. After spending some time in Puerto Rico it’s made me want to explore so much more of the Caribbean.
Isn’t the Caribbean great?! How was Puerto Rico?

Glad you enjoyed! Yep, it would be a good spot to spend the holidays. We’ll be doing that in Barbados this year!
