just call me Mr. Caribbean

Well it looks like I'm headed back down to the Caribbean for the 3rd time this year! The first was Antigua, then Puerto Rico and now I'm off to Guadeloupe. This Caribbean island is the next one down the chain after Antigua by about 100kms. So it will qualify as the furthest I've flown in the jet.

The island is also a region of France and therefore it's a French speaking island and also, it uses the Euro as it's currency! A bit of a pain in the ass, I will take a few Euros with me, but will rely on some American currency and my trusty Starbucks Visa to handle the majority of purchasing.

The trip starts with me spending 4 nights in Montreal beginning Tuesday. From there we will head down through Florida for fuel and then straight out the chain of islands overflying the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos, St. Marteen and Antigua finally arriving at Guadeloupe after about 6hrs of flying from Montreal. We will get to spend 8 days and 7 nights at what I'm hoping to be a very nice hotel/resort on the beach somewhere to enjoy another all expenses paid vacation. A nice little perk that I enjoy very much about the job. However, it's not all these peachy trips, so I'm glad when they happen but I still do put up with a lot of equally less enjoyable layovers too.

So hopefully this trip remains the same and I'll be sure to have my bags with me, as I won't be flying commercially to the meet the plane anywhere! I will however, be taking a commercial flight back from Montreal though, but at least when I arrive back in Calgary I have more clothes and accessories should the worst happen AGAIN, and they lose my bags.
