And we’re off to travel (some of) the world

Today, June 17, 2016, we are leaving our comfortable apartment in Brooklyn to start our year of travel. Ack! After almost 3 years of thinking about it, 8 months of real planning, and 1 month of packing, we are actually doing this. Exciting? Yes. Scary? Of course. But we know this is the right thing to do for us, right now.

June 17 is a meaningful day for another reason. It marks the anniversary of Sarah’s diagnosis with LAM 6 years ago (see Sarah’s Story to learn more). That day changed our lives in not the best way. Hopefully this year we can change our lives in an amazing way – and bring some hope and inspiration to others at the same time.

Black Sand Beaches of St Vincent

We docked up at St Vincent, the largest island in the Grenadines. I visited the Grenadines for my 10th birthday but missed out St Vincent so this was my first time visiting this island. First impressions were good. Sitting on my balcony, I looked at the roughed cliffs that scoured the coastlines, jagged rocks at their feet. Turquoise waves lapped at the fallen rocks. It certainly looked like a wild island which was a relief after visiting overly-commercialised St Lucia. I'd heard that this island had black sand beaches, something which I as yet to witness. The main luxury resort on the island had some white sand imported for its beach which I find terribly sad as the black sand is iconic, has an edge of mystery and is native to the island. The view out my balcony I just can't get enough pictures of our boat We had an excursion booked today called 'Pirates of the Caribbean Tour' where a catamaran took us to some spots along ...
