what a weekend

 

saturday i found myself getting up at 4 in the morning, total darkness to go on a hike, i cant remember the last time i got up or tried to get up at 4, okay i lied, i tried it last year for jouvert (carnival) but didnt make it, but to my surprise i was up and ready for the walk, i started my hike around 6, almost an hour after some ppl had started but i was determined to be one of the first to make it to the soufriere hot springs that morning. i walked at a quick and steady pace, stopping for no one or nothing, well except when i almost got run down by  a mad driver. i stopped for a second to give him a few choice words.

 

i passed over 18 persons who started before me, i was the fifth person to reach the destination, i felt so proud of myself, what a journey, but off course i took the time to soak my body in the hot waters of the soufriere, for almost an hour. You can imagine me walking back to Roseau after that, i had promised myself i would do it but i couldnt leave up to that promise, the muscles were just took relax after soaking in the soothing sulfuric waters. so i hoped on the first pickup that stopped my way and i was heading to roseau, occasionally hiding so that the persons who were walking back didnt get a glimpse of me on the pickup.

 

all in all it was fun, i might have left out a few things but i'm sure if u ever get a chance to do that walk u would enjoy it just as much as me.

I dont know how it happened, or even why i accepted but i now have the post of President of one of the most vibrant youth organizations within my country. You can call me Mr. President from now on, lol, I am the President of the Dominica Youth Environment Organization. I went to the AGM without any intentions of coming out with a place on the executive much less the the head post. but when everyone started declining the role and ppl started to look at me, even after i had declined, i had a change of heart. i took the position, i hope i live up to the standards set for me and those i set for myself, i intend to do my outmost best in keeping the organization at the top in youth development and environmental activities.

 

So now, the road ahead looks bright, i was able to use my elected position to inspire other persons to join me on the executive and now i feel i have a good group of young persons in support of me and the organizations, looking forward to bigger and better things in 2007 and 2008.

 

Mr. President, lol, i like that.

 

The New York Times listed Dominica as the place to visit for adventure in the Caribbean.  The widely circulated paper named ten islands as the best getaways in its The 10 Point Caribbean Escapes Plan which was the cover story for its travel supplement in its January 28, 2007 edition.  The paper recommends to its readers to visit each island for different reasons (or pleasures).

Dominica for adventure

Anguilla for culinary delights

Trinidad and Tobago for clubs

Jamaica for golf

The Dominican Republic for relatively inexpensive vacations

Eleuthera (in the Bahamas) for beaches

St. Barthelemy (more commonly known as St. Barts) for celebrity-sightings

St.Vincent and the Grenadines for sailing

Araub for family vacation

Marie-Galante for seclusion or solitare

 

i find myself awaiting my flight to dominica in the b/dos aiport,  my liat flight is late as usual, the new acronym for liat is now leave the islands anytime. i deciding to go online, thanx god for wireless internet, lol. i am catching with what was going on in dominica, well in bath estate football actually, our team is on a roll, we havent lost in so long i cant even remember the last team that beat us. hopefully we can continue that trend to the end of the season becuz we need to win all our games to win the title, i have my fingers crossed cuz i know we can do it.

the bajan trip was a good one, the workshop was filled with nice ppl, especially the sweet vincy, jamaican gurls. they made the two weeks and eventful one. dont get me wrong, nothing freaky happened, but it felt like i made life long frenz n that is the important thing.
