I couldn't agree more about Barbados as a great destination with all the typical Caribbean vacation goals - great food, nice resorts, beautiful beaches and the typical gamut of vacation activities people look for.

The thing that still stands out as being among our best Barbados trip memories was the ability to get in the car and explore it freely.

The people couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful and OMGoodness, the places we saw and the things we experienced.

I don't know how many can say they've done this, but we were given a tour of one of the local sugar refineries that we happened to stumble across, even being invited to climb the ladders and walk the catwalks over the thrashers. Okay, so that part was a little more than I needed to see, but the guys loved every minute of the tour.

We explored a beautiful Church or Monastery in the same area as well as the coastal and cliff views of that area. Absolutely incredible!!

Respectfully,
