Blame it on the Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Alcohol

November 23, 2009

We are very late [...]

Pisces Schmisces

November 22, 2009

Last night we dined at Pisces in St. Lawrence Gap.  Pisces didn’t exactly hit a homerun in the food department, but the atmosphere was lovely.  The restaurant is located on top of the water and is lit up with millions of hanging lanterns.  The waves lapped underneath us, and we watched huge sea turtles swimming [...]

Bienvenidos a Barbados!

November 17, 2009

Greetings from Barbados HCG readers!  Our travels weren’t as strenuous as we feared (we flew out of JFK and drove there from Philly at 3:30 in the morning; it was the cheapest/most sane option).  We arrived at the airport in plenty of time (a rare feat for me), and the 4 1/2 hour flight to [...]
