Canouan Island

Okay. Well as most of you know i wne t to barbados this past weekend. Let me me just start off by saying, it was the MOST AMAZING PLACE I HAVE EVER SEEN! I so didn't want to come back to this god for saken place, but meh, it's life i guess.
I left early friday morning around 4:30. Picked up Quinn and we headed to the airport. There were 8 of us all going. myself, Quinn, John Sliver on trombone, Mark phillips, Mark Viavattni on drums, John gabrielle on keys, and Andre and Robin on vocals. our regulaer guy singer Ric didn't get a passport, so he couldn't go. Sucked to be him. Anyway, we all met at the airport. Went through all the airport stuff.(it was all new to me, taking it was my first plane ride ever!!) Security sucked, and they kept re-checking Quinn's saxophone.(maybe they thought it was a bomb, hehe)
So we flew to NYC. The plane ride was fine. I was nervous, but once in the air, i was ok. i had my peeps to keep me grounded!i.e. Robin! We hopped on the 2nd plane, and went to San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was soooooo hot there. it was great though. The airport had TONS of liquor on sale along with magazines and gum.haha. what a combo. There was this Dominos pizza place that sold personal size pizzas, and they were the BEST pizzas i've ever had. Minus the attitude the puerto rican girls woking there gave us. So we go outside to board our plane to the islands, and we're on this tiny little plane with propellars. I was scared outta my mind!!! I knew we'd be flying for 5 hours over water, so that of course was on my mind the whole time. So we all pack onto this potato chip of a plane to get to the island. The first stop was St. Lucia, an island 2 hours north of where we were going. The landing was HORRIBLE!!!!! We basically almost landed sideways, and when we hit the ground, we got thrown around, and the plane went from side to side. We come to a stop, and the pilot goes"Yeeeeee Haaaaaaa!" what a cunt!! So we take off, and get to Canouan island. At this point i'm terrified! Same kinda landing, i think i shit my lungs!
We go through immigration and customs, and a tour guide from the resort is there to greet us. OMG!!! Tall carmel skinned island girl named Melissa. Quinn and Andre were immediatly in love. I figured it'd be funny seeing who'd try to get with her first. Well we pack into this little van, and whip around the island. It looked like a shanty town, with chickens and dogs running around. Poverty stricken if you will. Let me tell you, these people drive FAST and the roads are only big enough for 2 compact cars. No traffic lights, let alone traffic. Most of the road isn't even paved! So we get to the resort, and everything changes. the most beautiful place i've even seen. Well we get dropped off, and they have cocktails for us when we get out. we walk right over to some couches(mind you, this is all outdoors) Checked in, and got our golf cat keys, and room keys.(yes, golf cart keys!) They gave us golf carts to get around the resort, cause it's impossible to walk anywhere. Too many huge hills, u'd just die!! Our room was sweet as hell, and we had a great view from our balcony.(i have lots of pictures). We went to the casino where we were going to be playing for a sound check. It took forever, cause the tech didn't know his balls from is asshole, so and hour later, he says we can't play, and have to come back after 10 pm. So we go and eat dinner at this little place called Jambo's. Had the best buffet ever!!! It was fun, each room had a golf cart, so we all drove around in them to each place. We had races too. it was night time, and it was fun as hell. but while we were eating there was this great little band playing. it was kool. we sat on the beach after that. it was great. We went back and did the sound check, and the n went to bed.
The next day, me and Quinn woke up, and met Jon Silver down at the beach, and when we got there, a guy who worked on the resort was up a palm tree throwin down coconuts to Jon. Robin(singer) was sittin under an umbrella. The guy(Garvin) came down, and pulled out a HUGE machetti(sp?). Opened em'up, and we drank coconut milk from them, and sat on the beach and ate, and went in the warm water!!! Then i played the ceremony and almost drowned in my sweat. soooo hot in the church. B4 that, Quinn took pictures w/melissa our tour guide(kickin maaaaad game). But then we played the wedding, and ate filet mignot and lobster, and sat and looked out into the ocean. yeah, i'd be jelous too! But i've payed my dues. So i desereved this!
All in all this trip was great. Spend hours in Puerto rico the next day on a layover, and had great food, and went to a casino. Traveled home, and now i'm sad....it's cold here and sucks!! but whatever, it's cool. A lot more happened, but that was the jist of it. I'm tired of writing, and i need to sleep. i have to pack hardcore cause i move out in 3 days! so....peace!!!!
