Category Archives: travelI just returned from a completely unexpected visit to Curaçao, one of the 5 islands of the Netherlands Antilles. The Netherlands Antilles, although being part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is located in the Caribbean Sea, comprising 2 groups if islands: Curaçao and Bonaire, just off the Venezuelan coast, and Sint Eustatius, Saba and [...]
Where Chennette visits Glasgow, and ends her vacation. And the vacation blogging.
There’s always a football match going on in Glasgow. Loads of people crowding into and singing on the Metro. Chanting and drumming on the streets. Kilts, tams and red wigs flowing around and almost overtaking the tourists. And visibly increased police presence. Every day. [...]
Where Chennette visits Cambridge and the family Ewe.
Part of my London trip involved a day trip to Cambridge to visit Ewe and her family. Especially to visit with the new Baby Boo. I took the tube all by myself from Stratford to Liverpool Street, where there were hourly trains to Cambridge at a special rate [...]
Where Chennette visits London.
I traveled from Edinburgh to London by train. A trip that’s a little less than 5 hours and one I have taken only a couple times before. Whenever I tell people at home that I studied in Scotland, or the UK, if they haven’t been to Scotland, they tend to assume that [...]

By my count I have about 6 draft posts. All needing just a little something to finish up and publish. But my multi-stage return to Guyana and now my current hop-hop-hop resumption of regular work is holding me up a bit. Never fear. I shall post again. Soon. I hope. From airports most likely. Sitting [...]
I have said before that I like the Caribbean Beat magazine. As a frequent traveler in the region, it’s a regular read. Sometimes it’s the only magazine I have time to read as I refuse to do work on a plane, where for a few brief moments, the world outside the plane cannot get in [...]
