(Im writing this on the plane as I had no time on the day)
As I went off for breakfast I popped in on mum when she was near the end of her pedicure, she looked pretty happy I must say!! Anyway, this was the first day that i was having breakfast alone so it was slightly strange asking for a table for one. I sat down at the table with watermelon,mango and pineapple. Next thing I know I'm being asked if I could be joined by Jeremy, (sporty guy/I should really say 'Activities Manager'.
So I accept, but I think it must have been awkward for him due to the amount of times my ears failed me to understand all of his carribean accent.
I leave breakfast and went off to see Alex on the other side of the pool to find out the time. He didnt know but the second I started walking I was greeted by scuba guy(Mark, great teacher) who handed me my participation certificate. This sheet of paper certifies me to do absolutely nothing.
So Alex didn't know the time, but he said that there wasn't enough wind to sail with his parents. So I went to investigate, I found Danelle doing tricep dips on the edge of the table in the watersports centre, weirdly enough he said that later on there would be enough wind to sail, but that was fine as i had my mani pedi until 12 anyways and then lunch and then off to sail.
I did all of those things and got deep turquoise toes and deep purple fingers, plus I managed to persuade Alex that it was safe on the boat and that it would be fun. With very little persuading he came. All of the journey went perfectly apart from just before we arrived we nearly crashed into the 'Rhum Runner' but luckily the wind picked up and I managed to catch it(the fastest I've gone before). We arrived back on shore with, if I may say so myself, perfect landing...
After that I dived straight into the pool, and out again(sunscreen), and back in and was shortly joined again by Alex. He was in a VERY strange mood. Funny though-ish. Packing the rest of my things up D:
Just managed to fit it all in!!
Fillin out the questionare then off for goodbyes. After calling Alex over from his volleyball game, he made that look that said WHAT THE HELL?!? I then replied IM LEAVING!! He softened the look, slightly. Then a quick hug from Vincent and a wet hug from one lady who was on the pool volleyball team and had helped me out!!
Feeling sad now.
Got on the plane, it doesn't even feel like we're here anymore.
The only couple of things that remind me that it wasn't a dream are
1.LaSource water bottle
2. Cute tanned blond guys that had been at the grenadian airport
3. A few prezzies
4. Alex on facebook
5. David(I just looked through my blog to see that I haven't actually mentioned him yet, he became a good friend of ours, mum met him at Tai Chi & Yoga, he has eaten with us a few times and he came along when we hired our car) who is still at the airport and is seeing us off.
I'm so glad that I decided to do this blog, it means that I know everything that I did, so every day didn't go so fast!! It's really worth doing, so I suggest you try on your next holiday, or experience with something(and send me a link).
Thanks for keeping this blog going!!

Our last full day... :(
Watching people cut coconuts of the trees and offer them round as drinks, yummy!!
Just got persuaded(eventually) to play pool volleyball by alex and andy(sporty guy).
I was the sympathy vote on the team, always got told to try another shot on my serve. That's why I'm not on teams!! O well, for never playing before I did okay!!
Scuba diving!! It was lovely, when we went down my ears wouldn't equalise!! Finally when they did, I got comfortable underwater. I loved the lil black things, similar to sea urchins, and when you wave at them they pop back into whatever they're stuck on!!
To finish it off, won 2 pool games out of... You don't need to know!!
Mani pedi tomorrow!!

He wasn't avoiding me(he says)!!
It's quite average weather here, grey, not so hot, not humid. Good for tennis but not for sunbathing.
I think my last hope of coming back with a tan is ruined.
So, this morning i set an alarm and took myself of to the yoga class.
I didn't like it, it felt like the teacher had no soul in yoga, like she didn't want to be here. It felt like a beginners workout course instead!!
That's okay though, everyone else was enjoying it!!
We're heading down to the other end of the hotel to see if we can go sailing. Nope, no wind...
We'll come back later!!
Off to tennis, turns out it starts in an hour so we'll fling some balls around!!
The lesson was really good although it started raining so we had to finish early, we learnt how to serve(the game starter).
*Extra*
Quick extra for Wednesday.
The facials are THE BEST treatment here!!! Well for me, lots of people likes the back massage...
Just come out of the room as it's been raining!!
Quick dip in the pool and then back again. It's stopped completely but everyone's huddled outside!!
Ahh-ha-ha it's 'cold' in the pool!
Bitten to the extreme today!! ITCHY. Look out for tomorrow's post!!

I haven't had my phone on me all day so I haven't been blogging...
But a quick overview, we've been out driving around the island to look at the culture and the beauty of it!
We drove up to the top of the island and saw the rainforest there(of course, it was raining... But it was lovely because we saw little tiny shops.etc) we also worked our way up to leapers hill. This was named after the last 40 or something caribs who would rather be dead than be taken over by the French, so all of them together jumped off this hill to their deaths. Nice... :-S
Very beautiful landscape and it was lovely to get to know the island. Grenadiens are lovely people, although they seem daunting when you see them by the roads with knifes, but they are for farming!
After we got back to the hotel after a long day, we dived straight into the pool. Ahh!! Lavely!! :D
I haven't seen my friend, Alex for days, I think he's avoiding me... :S

1:47. Very hot. Gone back to the room for a quick cool down..
Been sent out on a journey for chocolate on a rare(twice a year) occasion where mum needs chocolate!! :)
We went sailing this morning and it was a bit more difficult because of the wind kept coming in and out, and the waves were high, yet slow. Strange-warm- carribean sea...
Hmmm, now either side of my lower legs are burnt+my feet+a strip on the back of my arms!!(I had sunlotion on everywhere!)?!? A choccie sorted everything out for mum, she's off windsurfing now!! Oscars again tonite, my clothes are hurting my sunburn!! Oops, forgot!! Im wearing flip-flops, back about 4 steps to the room to change them!!

Sunday
We went to a Underwater sculpture park!! It was lovely(apart from the sunburn), I loved the brain coral, mum said that it was living?!? Liar... Hahaa. Okay, I should have made an *extra* saying this, but O well too late now!! Last night a live group was playing in the terrace, and there was this guy. This guy looked about 45/50 and was the most hilarious dancer, he just didn't car(imagine a big bloke dancing to rude boy, Rihanna)Very funny. Anyway, I say this because he just walked past in front of me.
Sorry guys, I didn't take the time throughout the day to write this so at the end of the day I tried to finish it off but I was too tired to write more!! Sorry!! Not that much happened apart from the snorkelling trip today-maybe I'll write that as an extra tomorrow!!

Migraine.
70% at about 2oclock.
79% at 3.
Covered my beloved Marie Claire with oily fingerprints from my hand and foot massage...
5:22-finished an article on 9/11, I'm completed overwhelmed I was only a few birthdays old when it happened so I have no recollection of the event, I don't even remember seeing it on the tv, or newspapers. All I know was that it was a school day and there was a sense that there was something wrong at school-one of my best friends at the time was the brains and would always keep track of news- but we were too young to understand. If you get the chance to go to a supermarket or post office I suggest that you get this magazine solely because of this one article. Or if that's too much for you, buy it for a fashionista friend(it's the fashion issue) and read pages 133-136 before handing it over, really it's worth it. Enough of that, back to paradise.
Well, paradise=thunderstorms, chilling winds, rough seas and 13 mozzy bites.
I guess it is winter here, but keep in mind that it was 30degrees yesterday.
Sorry about the slightly less happy blog today, but tomorrow will br happy. Promise!! :D (90% now!!)

Friday, (already?!)
God it's hot!!
I've just got to the lovely fan conditioned room after a rough lesson in tennis(Edel, I think I've slid downwards a tad since our last lesson) sipping away at the peach ariZona iced tea, yum!!
Note to self: reading 'the shoe parade' in Marie Claire september issue-page 57- really calms you down!! =)
Just packed up by the pool and came over to the sail reception and we just have to wait for about 25 mins until someone comes and takes over the sail house.
Pool, 2-0 to mum... O well!! We both had good shots? Yeah, that's my excuse!! Hahaa. Dinner now at oscars, it overlooks the sea so it's really lovely*takes a picture*

FINALLY ON THE RIGHT DAY!! So if you completley lost track...
I arrived in Grenada on tuesday so my first post was then, my previous post was wednesday, and this post is thursdays post... ON THURSDAY!
Listening to the little kitten like noises coming from the trees, they are birds! but.. I haven't seen them yet...
After being told I was too white, we went on a search for a tee shirt, and found out that we had one at home!!
Oops, I'm getting so used to this... Room!!
Unexpectedly, I have been named a natural at sailing and I would be awarded a prize!! It was a joke but sadly I can't even hold him against it as I don't remember what he said... He is Danelle(pronounced Dan-Elle. Simples.). Tomorrow out for another lesson and then soon we will be able to go out single!!
We just came back from the local supermarket, it was lavely there!!-oop! Got distracted by muscles playing volleyball. Where was I? I feel much safer now!! It was a mix of American and English stock(+yam!!). NOW, something to learn about me... I'm obsessed with AriZona tea. They don't have it in England -can you see where I'm going?- they had it in the supermarket!!! Yay!!! I got the average peach iced tea & raspberry iced tea & watermelon fruit juice antioxidant cocktail!! Everyone is so laid back and generally, well, carribean!!
I think i just broke a really nice guys-who lended me his- goggles!! Embarrassed!! He said that he did that earlier tho... But he was sitting down for ages trying to put it back together(trying to be sweet?)
Had a uplifting chat with a waitress, who I think goes by the name of Shirley Lee, she chatted about her secret behind always being happy!! Which sadly I swore I'd never tell!!
Look out for ariZona teas until tomorrows post!!

Awww!! We just arrived in the hotel, it's amazing!! We didn't arrange transport and were trying to find taxis and we asked this lady if she was a taxi and she said, no I'm not but I can drop you off?! Mom asked how much? And she said, NO!! That's fine I'll just drop you off on me way home!! I was slightly worried about this, being a Brit, and thought that there must be something shes gonna do or wants!! Nope, she dropped us off perfectly with an added bonus of a lovely chat.
