Barbados!

Susan and I were fortunate enough to travel to Barbados for a week in March of 2016 for a surfing based vacation.  This decision was based on two wildly successful hours of surfing on massive two foot waves using massive 12 ft. Bic surfboards at Folly Beach, SC.  The decision to go to Barbados was also based on the fact that we had a free place to stay.  It really  helps to know a certain bald, handsome, intelligent bachelor diplomat with a three bedroom three bath fortified domicile replete with security guards, all paid for by our wonderful tax dollars.  To 

We had a glorious time riding the giants.  Fortunately for us beginners, the waves at Freights Bay were the smallest he had seen them in his one and a half year tenure.  Highlights of our trip included:
- epic body surfing sessions
- entering a sea cave (not recommended during most tides and slightly terrifying)
- the best fried chicken of our lives
- the longest wait of our entire lives for fried chicken
​- touring a rum distillery
- seeing the critically acclaimed TWA terminal at JFK
- not getting sick  the day before the flight in someone else's house in NYC requiring evacuation to a hotel and subsequent rebooking of entire vacation including use of travel insurance
- Animal Flower Cave tour guide who was "tied to the cross" and prefers to "polish it and wax it"
