St. Vincent and the Grenadines

We traveled for 10 days this year to the Grenadines and it was SO different from SBH, but a spectacular trip. Stayed the first 5 nights in Canouan at Raffles resort. It is a beautiful resort - a bit large for my taste - I like a smaller boutique hotel usually, but it was fantastic. The only thing about that island is there is NOTHING to do except be at the resort unless you like hiking and all. We did charter a boat for a day which took us all around the southern Grenadine islands and to the Tobago Cays for the most amazing snorkling and water we have ever seen. It is truly indescribable. We went from there to Mustique, which was much more my style because the island could be traveled all over by mule (moke) and you could really get a good feel for it. We stayed at the Cotton House (20 rooms) and thoroughly loved it. The staff was absolutely wonderful - if you go there say hi to Indira for me!! The island only has two hotels - the Cotton House and the Firefly (4 rooms) - the rest is villas that are magnificent. The beaches are beautiful and Macaroni Beach rivals Saline in SBH. Only one other bar/restaurant on the island - Basil's which sits over Brittania Bay. Lots of fun and live music in-season.

It was a great experience and we hope to travel to Mustique again one day!!
