Our First Few Days

We are truly enjoying our time here in Tobago. This picture is our first breakfast, cooked by our "maid" Vernette. (kind of weird to have someone serving you, other than your mom...ha) The first day we rented a car and went grocery shopping. That was quite an experience--trying to find what you need, and then trying to figure out how much US Dollars it converts to. :) Anyway, we made it, and have everything we need for a week of breakfast, lunch and some dinners at home.

Later that day we frolicked in the pool and then went out to dinner at the Sea horse Inn. We had a great day. The next day we traveled by car, to the Tree House Inn. Great place for lunch, however, we discovered that the roads are pretty much NEVER and i mean NEVER straight! We drove for about an hour and a half along curvy (by that i mean like, 90 degree angle turns!) roads to get to the other side of the island. Unfortunately Amy and I couldn't stomach it, and were very "carsick." This is a picture at lunch, that kind of sums it up. I recovered faster than Amy did...haha...

The good part during that trip, was our stop at Englishman's bay. It was a BEAUTIFUL beach, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! It brightened our experience :) (until JD lost his wedding ring that is...ooops!) :/ We ended our day by coming back to the villa (after traveling almost literally, ever road in Tobago) and having a fabulous steak dinner and potatoes, cooked by our chefs, JD and Josh. It was a great way to end the day...an American meal made at home :)

Our plan for today (Saturday): chill out at our pool and head to a NEARBY beach! We had to cancel our trip to the rainforest, out of fear for carsickness :( Oh well, it's nice to just relax!!
