Palm Island in the Grenadines

Well, here we are lazily and fully adjusted to "island life and time"! What a way to go! After a short boat ride from Union Island (accessed by a very small plane from Barbados), we have comfortably settled into our home for the week -- in Sea Feather Villa. Some of the photos I'm posting are views out our back door where the ocean is literally ten steps away from the porch. Our side of the small island is very windy(good because it keeps you cool and it blows away any biting bugs!). The other side (short walk or golf cart ride) is much calmer waters and probably the better place to swim and snorkel. But for sheer beauty and reading a book, you can't beat our back porch. Our fridge is filled with beer, wine, water and sodas-- all the staples!!!

We ventured over on the courtesy boat to Union Island to see about shopping. Hmmm. While interesting to look around, it is not a shopping place. But it was fun to see the few craft shops they had.

Pat and Nelson are biking and hiking everywhere. So far, no iguanas have scared her!!! It's a fairly small island, so you can't really get lost!! The food is plentiful and free -- along with alcoholic beverages. The local beer, Hairoun, is quite good I'm told! Staff is very friendly and very helpful. The island does seem to lose electricity during the night. Though they haven't said, I think they shut the generator off for a few hours! We do have direct tv in the bedrooms in the villa. Well, we're all off to lunch and to swim on the other side. More later in the week if there's anything to report !!!
