I’d wanted to visit Grenada for a long time but could not because of its Marxist government with strong ties to Cuba. However, many years after the overthrow of the government and the American invasion (which, by the way, the Grenadian people refer to as the "rescue mission"), we finally got around to it. We’d had a very positive experience at Rendezvous in St. Lucia in 1996 so we chose a sister resort, La Source in Grenada, for this trip.

February 5, 2000

As we often do we drove to JFK to stay the night before our flight even though getting there and back is a pain. We'd made arrangements at a Best Western nearby that had a park and fly package. It was a real dump and our "no smoking" room smelled like an ashtray.

We had a wakeup for 3:45 but we were both up before that and caughtthe 5:00 AM shuttle to JFK. As we were getting ready to board, I remembered that I'd forgotten to change password and messages on my office voicemail. Got the password changed but the cell connection was poor so I figured I'd fix the messages from Grenada. A big mistake!
