- Grenada: this paradisiacal port of call had the Berardi’s on a Catamaran and Snorkeling adventure about a half-mile offshore. The waters are positively pristine. I must say that Susan took to the water like a Porpoise but I had some technical difficulties with the underwater apparatus. For starters, I cannot see a thing without my eyeglasses and missed all of the underwater attractions. Secondly, despite stern warnings, I decided to forego the flippers because they were bigger than me and the physics just didn’t add up in my view. As our crew urged us further into the deep, I slowly fell behind. Survival, however, is a powerful motivator. Once it dawned on me that a shark was more likely to go first for the little husky guy struggling without flippers, I mustered my energy and bolted like Aqua-Man.
- Tobago: markets are in meltdown but we’re visiting a stupid rainforest and waterfall. Some of the Americans complained that it was too far from the port as if the people from Disney miscalculated the distance. I said to the face-lifted lady from Long Island “this isn’t Epcot”. She replied “what the hell are you talking about”. We saw a monkey, a snake, and tasted unrefined cocoa…big whoop…at this point, i wanted to get back to my market positions.
Tomorrow, our trip comes to an end and some final thoughts.
