The trip was easy, albeit long. We left late from Detroit because we had to wait to be de-iced. I was shoveling four inches of snow at 2:15 am. We were the last two people on the plane in Miami because of our tardy arrival. I slept a fair amount on both flights.

Once we got through immigration and customs, we met Raymond, the guy from Bajan car Rental. He had my name on a sign outside the arrival gates. I love that! We sat in the car and did the paperwork. The steering wheel is on the right hand side if the car and they drive on the left side of the road. The turn signal lever is on the right hand side of the steering wheel and the wipers on the left. I signaled with the wipers at least five times before getting it right. Holy cow, what a brain switch! I think “It’s not raining” might be one of those catch phrases that takes hold on a vacation.

Round-about after round-about we made our way to the West coast of the Island. Maria, the property manager was waiting for us. She showed us around, recommended the Italian restaurant next door, and left her phone number in case we need anything. We ate at the Italian place and were ready for a good night’s sleep.

The pilot reported 83 degrees when we landed. The predicted low is 75, about 75 degrees different than the predicted low in Ann Arbor.
