I got to tell ya I’ve been in Grenada since December 12th and the usual Christmas vibes are not flowing.

Is it because I got to Grenada earlier this year?  On Friday, driving from the airport in Point Salines through Grand Anse, the Carenage, and downtown felt like a week night, NOT the beginning of the weekend. The volume of people about was smaller, as was the Christmas decorations, lights etc.

True, there are two Fantastic Christmas lights display along the Grand Anse main road that will definitely make you stop and take notice… and a few of the businesses are lit up, but that’s about it. I went to town (St. George’s) on Monday and Wednesday and there wasn’t the usual busyness for this time of year.

What about Night Life?

Let’s just say there isn’t an abundance of it in Grenada, but that there is enough for a decent showing. Mondays and Tuesdays are terrible nights if you are looking for some action (limited options), but I thought, because Christmas is less than 10 days away that Tuesday Night will be an exception.

Wrong!!

Tuesday night I headed south to look for a little good times and could not find anything worth shouting about. There was one exception: Di Vino, it’s an Italian Wine Bar at Le Marquis Shopping Plaza in Grand Anse. Seems like it’s emerging to be a little hot spot. On two different nights I passed by Di Vino and there was a small gathering in and around. I’ll check them out and tell you more.

So has the Grinch Stolen my Grenadian Christmas? Time will tell. For now I’ll blame the lack of commerce and cheer on my early arrival… maybe what I am seeing is the clam before the storm. Come Friday night into weekend and all of next week the money will start flowing and the good times will be rolling, just like it used to be (I HOPE!!)

Is it just me or anyone else finds the Christmas Season off to a slow start?

It’s been a while since a last posted. What can I say: Work got the better of me. The good thing is that in my absence I took care of anything work related that could jeopardize a great Grenada vacation.

Work and the US is now behind me ( for a few weeks at least).

I arrived in Grenada a couple days ago, and will be here for the Christmas and New Years. If you are coming down give me a shout out, and time permitting maybe we can meet up for a Cold Carib.

Have not done much exploring as yet, spent the last few days catching up with friends and family. As the vacation unfolds you can expect to hear more from me.

Catch you soon… Caribs are wasting

I recently found a real Grenada gem that I want to share with you. I’m excited because it’s a first for me and for Grenada Beaches. I’ve never before recommended another Grenada Travel Site, but I would be doing any Grenada lover or would-be visitor a huge injustice if I did not let you know about the MyMoosie Travel Site. 

The site covers other Caribbean Islands, but the two reports that you want to look at are

• December 2007 Grenada Trip Report 
• September 2007 Grenada Trip Repot.

The Webmaster and her spouse are intensely passionate about Grenada, and this shines through in the site. Grenada is a tiny island but there are many things to do, and places you go. In addition everyone’s tastes and preferences are different. That being the case it is impossible for me to cover it all on Grenada Beaches.

At MyMossie you will find trip reports with lots of reviews, and other topics not yet covered on Grenada Beaches. I think MyMooise will enrich your Grenada Vacation, and I hope you enjoy it.

The Grenada Beaches Blog is now live, and I think you’re going to like it.  We have for a long time published all our pages so those of you that are into RSS, and use feed readers can get all the great Grenada Beaches content without having to maunally check the site.
