Travels with Cathy and Steve's Guestbook

Country Music Oddity is Real
Hi Steve and Cathy, It was nice reading your time in Saint Lucia. I am in my 40's and recently relocated here with my family. My wife just started a real estate firm here ( https://ghgrealestate.com/ ) and so we are all getting acclimated to different aspects of the culture. One of the things I was most taken aback by was the Classic Country that you hear everywhere. It isn't the Travis Tritt or Billy Ray country either, it is the 1960s Roger Miller style country. Hearing it contrasted up against the dancehall music you also here is a pretty funny juxtaposition.

Antigua
It looks wonderful. Do you have to get your own breakfast? What’s the temperature like - it looks like a great place to rest awhile.

Oz again?!
How many apostles are left?

hola xx

Merry Christmas from Shoebury!
Sounds like you're all having a wonderful time. For similarly obvious reasons we haven't sent you a Christmas card either, so here's wishing you all a joyful and not too hot Christmas!! See you next year xx

Photos
And the photos are back!

Photos?
Loving your blog but over the last few days I haven't been able to see the pictures ... is it just me?

Boats!
We’ve seen quite a few of New Zealand’s little ports and marinas so far, and they’re all crowded with smallish boats. Apparently there are more boats per capita in NZ than anywhere else in the world!

Washing
I expect the clothes are non iron. I must be good to just chill out and sleep in. Antigua looks great along with the weather

Final night of the Exodus tour
Thankfully the Final Group Dinner went off well - helped greatly by the failure to turn up of the objectionable couple mentioned by Steve. And the food was pretty good too.

Day of the dead
This looks like a really fascinating day, I remember you saying it was going to be be part of your itinerary. There was an article in the Guardian yesterday saying we don't discuss death or even recognise it as a possibility for ourselves! I think the Mexicans do it better. Enjoy the rest of your travels x

Pah!
So there we were, strolling round the island, and we came upon a local braiding a girl’s hair. I looked interested, and she asked if I’d like mine done. ‘Not sure it would suit me’, I replied doubtfully. ‘Sure it would’, she said. ‘I’ve done four old ladies already today!’. !!!! Needless to say, my hair remains unbraided. Pah!
