Welcome

Hi, my name is Victoria Grace Avara (Vickie for short) and welcome to my blog. This blog was written while I was stationed in Barbados for 4 years from 2008-2012. I would just write things down whenever I had the time. I would write about my experiences with living in a new country and a different culture. Please forgive my grammatical errors, but enjoy these posts that I wrote during this time. My husband and I dearly love the Island of Barbados and we hope to someday retire to this little island that we called home for 4 short and wonderful years of our life. I hope that you enjoy reading this blog.

Sincerely, Vickie Avara

Home doorway


The apartment building finally approved our hanging a wall plaque outside our front door.  It may sound stupid to some, but it helps me to accept that this apartment is my home for now.  I have started back to a fitness gym where there is a class that meets 3 times a week - and is made up of all age group women from really young (early 20's) on up to probably in their 70's.  I really, really enjoy this class and this great group of women.  They work us hard for that one hour - but, all of us laugh at ourselves and each other.  It is so much fun!  It is great therapy for me.  I have met some really good friends there - that I know I will carry with me for a lifetime - no matter where I live in this world of ours.  They try to help me learn some of the island dance moves - that go along with their soca music.  I'm glad no one has video taped this event!  :-)   Life is good, life is short - enjoy it my friends!  Happy Monday!
