Travel to St.Vincent and the Grenadines

The day had finally arrived, Saturday the 5th of August, had it only been two years?? Because it felt more like a decade. My long awaited flight, thank God had not been cancelled, and was on schedule to leave at 9:45, on the well-known Caribbean Airline. So excited was I to enter the departure lounge, that I ran into a of couple people. I had always loved airports, the beauty in hellos and goodbyes, the hustle and the bustle, that feeling of anticipation, and the crowds of anxious people. As I began to board my flight, I had the most intense butterflies, because my desired destination, was a mere 30 minute flight. Before I could finish the last chapter of my novel, we were landing at the E.T Joshua Airport, and immediately that warm feeling enveloped me, as that all too familiar scenery overwhelmed me, and my second home was finally within reach. As I made my way through immigration, and to the happy familiar faces Known as family who awaited me, my mind raced as to what I wanted to do first. As I drove into the country, I was breath taken by the views around me, as if I was seeing it all again for the very first time, from the mountains high above me, to the ocean in the far off distance. Around and around we go through the winding roads, But I could not settle in without first making a stop at the village bakery. Oh how I have missed these mouthwatering treats, from the freshly baked bread to the delicious pastries like “red belly.” It’s the next day and I’m ready to hit the popular Villa beach, just but one of this island’s pristine beaches, and of course in the distance, the coveted Young Island. The following days seem like a blur, as I share precious moments with family members, and take in all this beautiful country I have grown to love so much has to offer. But I must say, if you ever do have the privilege of visiting this hidden treasure, please do not leave without visiting the amazing restaurant known as French Verandah. As I prepare to depart, a mere two weeks later, that bittersweet feeling takes over, as once again I have to say tearful goodbyes, to familiar faces and this gem of an isle……. St. Vincent and the Grenadines….way more than what simply meets the eye.
