The Caribbean

Union Island

Rugged, Unpretentious and Real…This is Union Island!

“Where do we stamp into the country?” I asked as we docked at the tiny, wooden pier. “At the airport” was the captain’s reply. True, the airport would be the typical place one receives their arrival stamp, but we had arrived by boat, not air!

Living in Grenada – Our Caribbean Paradise (With Video)

As if out of nowhere, the sea abruptly ended and land appeared under the wheels of our aircraft. The plane gently touched down on the tarmac and we both looked at each other with huge smiles, we had finally arrived in Grenada and we were about to see our temporary dream home for the next 7 ...
