Back to Paradise...
It was wonderful to go back home to Nova Scotia and celebrate the holidays with family and friends. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful time. Skating outside New Years Day was a wonderful way to kick off 2011!

After a long day of travel Jan 02, departing Halifax, NS 06:30am, arrived in Saint. Martin approximately 3:30pm. With much confusion and chaos at the docks we made the best of our delayed boat trip over to Saba by catching up with some friends and eating at Chesterfields, the dock side restaurant. We realized we were back in the Caribbean again when we got the bill and drinks were 2$ :P. Our boat ride on the
Dawn II was quiet rough but they did a great job controlling the boat in such rough seas. Let's just say, I was more than glad to see the Saba docks yard once again. Our friend Joel was kind enough to pick us up and drive us to our new apartment. We didn't really have a great plan on how we were going to get into the apartment (since our landlord was apparently still off island) but it is a small world and as luck would have it her granddaughter was still up, outside and across the street. We couldn't have come up with a better plan if we'd tried!

Monday we worked really hard cleaning, unpacking, and grocery shopping and are now almost completely settled into our new place, it's small but it seems like it is going to work for us. Nathan has started school again and we are getting back into a routine. Last night we kicked off the first day of school Saba style by going to
Swinging Doors for a BBQ! I literally had half a chicken on my plate! It was lots of fun to see everyone again, especially, before they all start studying hard;)

Hey Ang and Nathan,
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it home safe and sound. The new place looks very cozy and the fruit trees are a very nice added touch! Your view is amazing. We enjoyed seeing you two over the holidays and hope we weren't too rowdy (not sure of spelling), New Years Eve ;o) Keep the pictures coming. Love peeking through the Saba window!
