A Week Well Spent on Bequia: St. Vincent & the Grenadines

St. Vincent & the Grenadines map

In my first Caribbean experience, from January 4 through 14 I traveled to St. Vincent & the Grenadines with my girlfriend Jacqueline and her family – just a vacation this time, nothing more. Our home for those ten days was the Park Bay House on the island of Bequia (pronounced beck-way), the largest of the Grenadines chain.

Formerly a British colony famous for its sugar production, whaling fleets, and shipbuilding prowess, SV&G is today an independent nation whose residents are more distinguished for their copious consumption of dancehall reggae and rum.
