hi, at what time do you become a long standing visitor Grace and i have been coming to Barbados for the last 22 years and only missed twice in that time and those two times wished we where both back,
we love Barbados, the people make it special,even this years we landed at Christmas day and heather who works at coconut cars actually came down to the airport with our car on Christmas day, i dont know many people or places that would do that .
mind blowing how great the Bajans are
Barbados is a special place and those that visit know this and return and are hooked
we travel all over Barbados and every time find something new
we have stayed all over the island from Silver sands ,divi southwinds Harpers villa (this is a special place for us really like it as its in with all local people all real friendly people)villa on sandy lane sugar hill etc
