Well, actually here I am in Trinidad right now, at a B & B just off Aripata Avenue (restaurant row) in the Woodbrook district of Port-of-Spain. Spent the morning looking at houses with a realtor (to lease). Walked to lunch at SweetLime. Now it is absolutely pouring rain, but it sounds wonderful ...

You DO have a thing for pretty black cars don't you?

Were in Prague for a week+ in 2005, LOVED it, staying with state department relatives so we really got to see and do things. The Tyn church lit at night. The sekt! (it's enough to make you give up rum) Karlovy Vary, too, and the countryside. Pilsner beer got started in CZ. Also loved Bavaria. Wanna ...

They're so far behind in reprocessing that you had better send it for renewal about 4 months ahead, and keep pictures of it! (PS fun... they will send you back your old one too with holes punched in it, as a keepsake so you can see all your entry and exit stamps) Also, some countries, when you enter...

Well at the time young Chris got it, his parents were told it was from giving aspirin during or just after a bout of flu or chicken pox. That's why it's better to get the kid a flu shot and a chicken pox shot. And it affects kids as old as 19 and as young as 6 months. Chris survived altho' at first ...

The Bowl seats about 17,000 full. For those of us who have been regular summer attendees, we know that you CANNOT park or tailgate there!! They Stack Park the cars, nose to tail and side to side about 15 inches apart. Usually, you get to the concert by taking the special buses from about 20 park -an...

The chickenpox shot is to avoid complications of Reyes Syndrome which can kill the child very rapidly. It is a post flu, post chicken pox secondary infection. And we knew a child who nearly died of it. Get the shot!

Almond in Barbados is very nice, if a little remote from the island's main towns. Has beach, pools, golf, proximity to marina, lovely location... try to get into nearby Speightstown for galleries and food. Port St. Charles, next door, has a great restaurant, too. Also, just up the road, the Fish Pot...

You can ask anything you like, because, because, we are moving back to the Caribbean!! Yep we are! Yep we are! Back to the islands that we love! Goin' down in 2 weeks to find a house, 'official' 3 weeks after that! Only, Jimmy is just going to be staying down there ( I gotta do the movers and packer...

We are MOVING BACK TO THE CARIBBEAN (!!!) so we are really hoping he will do another of these small venues there, while we dere an' easy to go!
Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy..... :)

It has to be the sort of drink that would be served on a sailboat or a cruise ship, any sort of drink that would go well with a paper umbrella. It can be a virtual paper umbrella.
My favorite is the Yellow Bird, as made at the Frangipani Hotel bar on Bequia.
But usually just drink rum and cola.

There is no OSHA in the Caribbean. Adults are expected not to get themselves hurt... on the other hand, don't expect to sue if you do do something dumb. We actually had a private tour (with my sis and her hubby who were visiting us at the time) of the actual Mt. Gay distillery up in the cane fields ...

Cruzan...Well, it is better than Bacardi, but then that is not saying much... Bequia, yes! go see the turtles at the reserve... stay at the Frangipani or Friendship Bay... sigh! Love Bequia... favorite little 'town' island there is! Know there is Moorings at Antigua and Soper's, where is there south...

The bananas were destroyed and some damage, but looks like the Windward islan's didn't get hit as hard as the bigger places up north are going to be -- Re the Moorings charters, IF you are at Soper's Hole (home of one of the Moorings sites) and you haven't time for a long trip on a boat, but want a ...

Oh, one last thing... on Barbados, sometimes, Island Safari, the guys who take you all over the island on a jeep -- and it is such a good time, you see the whole island, drinks and a great lunch, too... anyway, sometimes, instead of Island Tours, they do what they call a Rum Shop tour, where the jee...

At home taking care of a 2 year old! Thought, well last time I saw a picture of him he looked pretty bad, and didn't think more of it than that.

my Jimmy is currently on Trinidad, and he says the Royal Oak there is as good as the Mount Gay Extra Old on B'dos or the Doorly's on B'dos. There is an article in this month's Caribbean Travel & Life on boutique rums on some of the French islands, I think maybe Martinique, which is of course cur...

thank you!! What is orgeat syrup?

Anyone know the recipe for this drink which we had up along the coast near Mendocino in June and had not heard of before? Would like it.

Here is the traditional one, from the land "where de rum come from". The formula is written on everything there... one of sour (shot of key lime juice, hopefully freshly squeezed) two of sweet (two shots of bar syrup, simple syrup, or Falernum for extra !) three of strong (three shots of G...
