We are counting down the days until we are on the beach in the tropical paradise of Barbados soaking up the Caribbean sun!

Some info about Barbados:

Barbados, in the eastern Caribbean, is an independent island nation within the British Commonwealth. Bridgetown, the capital, is a cruise-ship stop with shopping, colonial buildings and one of the Western Hemisphere’s oldest synagogues. Barbadian traditions range from afternoon tea and cricket (the national sport) to pursuits such as scuba diving at Dottins Reef and golfing on designer oceanside courses. And yet, Barbados is hardly stuffy—this is still the Caribbean, after all. Instead, Barbados is a sophisticated tropical island with a rich history, lodgings to suit every taste and pocketbook, and plenty to pique your interest both day and night. The currency is the Barbados Dollar (BDS). The Barbados Dollar is converted at the rate of $1.98 BDS to $1.00 U.S.
