Hi Aunt Hilda, I know where you lived!! I do miss Bequia and cou-cou and sapodilla and sugar apple and cashew and plumose and Bequia plums. But mostly I miss the friendly people. Sometimes I see photos of the Grenadines online and I wonder what I am doing here in New Jersey. At least my wife got to meet my grandmother.

I have never been to Carriacou but my mum speaks of it and I think she lived there for a while in her youth. My brother, Shane, visited a few years ago and got to meet our maternal Grand Aunt. From the photos, she looks just like my grandmother.

I hope to visit as soon as the International Airport is complete or when I win the lottery so I can afford to fly into Bequia directly.
