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

Cruise Ships


It is nice watching the cruise ships come into port each morning.  Especially when the sun is shining right on them.  I found out last year that these cruise ships time their arrivals into these ports to arrive around 8:00 am.  That way, the passengers are awake and looking at the approaching island with great glee and anticipation for what this new day on this new island will bring.  The captains of these ships could easily have the ship already docked long before it's passengers have awakened in most instances.  But, there is something about watching as the ship approaches an island and also as the ship departs from an island.
