We flew from Miami to Barbados today - we had heard of horror stories going through Miami Airport but we were checked in and through security in about 20 mins (and we didn't have to empty our bags this time!). Our flight was only 3 quarters full so we had no-one sitting in front or behind us, and we had a spare seat next to us too (these things get us excited on flights!).
The flight went well and we arrived in Barbados 3.5 hours later - we were the first off the plane as they opened the doors right behind us (we were at the back of the plane) and we were through immigration and collecting our luggage within about 15 mins of landing (this is another thing that gets us excited whilst travelling - two excitements in one day is just too much!). We jumped in a taxi and arrived at our hotel. We were told that our room wasn't ready but it would be in a few minutes...here is where we had our first experience of being on 'barbados time'. When she said a few minutes she actually meant 45 mins........but we kept telling ourselves we are on holiday, we are in no rush but of course secretly we did feel a bit annoyed. At least they gave us a drink and we were sat watching the ocean whilst waiting.
It was worth the wait when we got to our lovely room!

Apart from popping over the road to get some groceries (which of course I mean the necessities such as milk, beer and wine) we have not yet ventured out in to St Lawrence Gap (where we are staying) and as there is a storm rolling in we are going to have dinner at the hotel and have a look around tomorrow (of course after I have opened my pressies as it will be my BIRTHDAY!).
