Yup the Smokin' Tuna is moving in at the old Hard Rock location. They just posted an official "we're back" on Social Media. Apparently there will be an official sign/banner drop on May 31st. Can't wait for it to return

I just saw that Smokin Tuna is moving in across the street from Bull & Whistle that was the Fogerty House before becoming Hard Rock...

Yup, planning on a meal on the French side with it!!

That's great, I guess use the rest next time on SXM!

Actually, yes. I think we still have maybe 100 Euros left. We used most of them in Rome, but we did use a few in Greece and Turkey. For the most part, we spent Euros for meals, gifts and souvenirs. I prefer not to get huge charge card bills when we get home.

Gotta ask, did you end using much of the physical euros you brought?

Grew up with having parents as travel agents. Been to many National parks throughout our beautiful USA. Zion, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Rockies, Arches, Jackson Hole, New Mexico, Montana, Jasper National Park, Lake Louise, Calgary, Niagara Falls, list goes on…. Including Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico etc.and also as far as with my husband, Charleston SC, Nashville, Aruba, St Lucia, the Bahamas, Playa Del Carmen, Peter Island, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, St Thomas, Grand Cayman, And just find comfort in returning to Key West and St John in the USVi. But to answer your question I have been to other places 😊

Curious if you’ve ever travelled anywhere else?

Another trip report accomplished. Enjoy the read!

I haven't responded because I haven't been to those 3 locations yet...

Yes, we definitely need a vacation after the vacation, but it was a lovely time.

To us, a med cruise is church and rubble history class.
On our first med cruise our last stop after 12 days (10 stops) was Barcelona.
We have to see Sagrada Família. Reaction: not another church. But it was the best one.
Need a vacation after the vacation. But a cruise is a good way to hit all those spots.

Ok whatever😂

Rick--yes we did. I do not wish to discuss it further.

Hate to hear that as I offered contact info for the outstanding tour guide for just the two of us. Did you even get off the ship?

Rick--sore subject. Princess shore excursion sucked. Used credits, so didn't spend our money, but very disappointing.

Did you make it up the cliff to your Santorini?

Thanks for the tip. Is there any bars/restaurant on Canouan, Union Island and Mayreau?

There are so many to choose from... I'll start with

Carriacou: Anse la Roche and Tim's Bar/Restaurant ashore. There's a path up the hill behind the huts that is a nice walk (you can take a detour to find some ruins and cannon) to a dirt road, which can extend the hike to go around to the northern end of the island.

We're back home. Great trip, although very busy.

We will be chartering and cruising from St.Lucia through to Grenada. (Bequia, Mustique, Union Island, St. Vincent, Petite Martinique). Any beach bars and restaurants that we should not miss? Any good hikes you could recommend? We will be cruising with people who will want to get off the boat. Thanks.

Beautiful photos and great report. Reading it made me breathe easier...... like I was there. The bahamian waters are unlike anywhere else.

Nice trip. The best provisioning is Grenada, but that'll be a little late for you! Stock up as much as you can in St Lucia, then if you get to the southern tip of St Vincent, around Blue Lagoon. There are charter bases there so you'll be able to get advice once you arrive. After that, you are getting limited. Bequia and Union are good for top ups. I've made the trip many times but not recently. Hopefully Zanshin will be along to give you more up to date info.

I don't think this particular forum gets much traffic anymore. Southern Caribbean or BVI will likely get you more responses.

Hello, we are chartering a Moorings powerboat from St. Lucia and plan to cruise to Grenada. We are experienced cruisers, but this is our first charter.
Do you have any advice for us? Provisioning advise? anchorage advice? Grocery availability through the Grenadines?

Went to Pompeii yesterday. Amazing experience! Day at sea today, which is very welcome, to relax a bit.
