Greetings from Barbados...

More to come as time allows, went deep diving today but didn't have a camera that could make it along with me. French food and Dominus tonight.

Dinner at La Parisienne, rooftop restaurant near the previously posted pool.

Tenderloin with au gratin potatoes ( forgot the menu name)



Something we brought along to compliment the meal, was a huge discussion piece not to mention a great opportunity for some here to taste something that isn't available on the island.



Paul, we left your ticket at the airline counter, just go up and tell them the password.

No wrist shot? :D

Awesome place! Enjoy!

But you will have a hard time, because your 'baseline' in San Diego is already amazing!

Enjoying so far. Sandals beach is crap right now, lots of seaweed, feels like swimming in tea. I went diving all day instead.

Standing on the bridge near the dive shop.


The Cool Runnings catamarans we did a sunset cruise on 3 days ago. As we passed they all still remembered my name, waving and shouting. (It was a really good cruise)


St. Charles Place marina, just dove a shipwreck nearby. Coincidentally this is where they're going to put in the Beaches Barbados. Still have some work to do but I like the location.

My favourite Caribbean island. Bought my first Rolex there in 2005.

Last time I was there in December 15 they had TWO deep sea blues at the Royal Shop!
