Who knows we may even decide to go swimming with them. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-31463170193120363942017-10-29T07:36:07.970-04:002017-10-29T07:36:07.970-04:00Th water is gorgeous to look at!

We are looking forward to checking out the east side of the island though, apparently it is much quieter. There sure is a lot of traffic around where we are.<br /><br />Yes, it would be nice to have a light pair of sneakers but as you said we only have carry on so we only travel with our hikers and sandals for me and flip flops for Kevin although on this trip I also added a pair of flip flops. I have been walking mostly in my sandals which are Merrells and find them fairly comfortable but my feet still need to get used to them. Kevin switches around depending on how much walking we will do between his flip flops and his hikers. His flip flops are good quality but he needs to get his feet used to walking in them.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51358517671119618832017-10-29T07:26:19.759-04:002017-10-29T07:26:19.759-04:00We would have to take off really, really early in ...We would have to take off really, really early in the morning for it to be any cooler.

From your picture...Worthing Beach is so beautiful. From your pictures, it looks like you were able to put some space between you and the crowds. I never liked to go into Bridgetown unless necessary because once in a while the cruise ship crowd were in port, and I guess they think the only place to go on the island is Bridgetown. Since you two are heading to Mexico, you are now training in Barbados for the heat in the Mexican tropics. Too bad you were not able to bring a good pair of Nike sneakers with you for light hiking on level ground, but I know there is only so much room in carry-on luggage. I ended up throwing mine away before I left because they had been through hell and back with all the walking in rain, on the beach, sweat, constantly wet, and eventually odors. However, I got my money's worth out of them, and they were easy on the feet. In fact, I don't think I felt dry until I got back home, one constant sauna. Not complaining, I expected it.
