cruisingbajan Posted January 21, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I know you have taken much much better photos but its still a pretty good photo:D. Like you I am not sure how it pertains to the "community" but at least it gets your pics out there and its always great to see a fellow countryman in the spotlight.:) By the way....have you heard of any more of the short cruises in tie works?

Aplmac Posted January 21, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2010 By the way....have you heard of any more of the short cruises in the works? No. The jungle drums are unfortunately silent on that score. Those short cruises that we Bajans enjoy come about because of leftover ship time after hired-in cruise ships get used for dormitory purposes when there are Big International Conferences and Sports Events held regionally. We were real lucky last year 2009, in that 5th. Summit of the Americas and the Commonwealth Heads of Government Conference were both held in nearby Port of Spain Trinidad and both Trinis and Bajans benefitted from mini-cruises after those happenings. I know of no such Big Events regionally, in the near future -even tried Google-ing for a schedule of Big International Conferences and suchlike(keywords) but came up with zilch. :cool: Bide thy time -and save thy shekels.;) .

Will keep you informed Suddenly, Keith, I'm starting to take an interest in cricket.How strange! :) I found this on the www. somewhere... ----------------------------------------------------------- World Twenty20 2010 - West Indies The islands of the West Indies invite you to experience Twenty20 cricket in a true Caribbean atmosphere! Experience the excitement of the game as you mingle with friendly West Indians and fans from across the globe. And when the cricket is done the fun has just begun! After the matches head to a local restaurant or nightclub to celebrate or go bar hopping to enjoy true Caribbean culture (and rum!). Bring the whole family for a Caribbean vacation for World Twenty 20. While the cricket fanatics in the family enjoy the games, other family members and friends can take tours, visit attractions, enjoy watersports and generally explore the countries! The host countries are located just a short flight from each other so plan to visit as many as possible as you follow your team through the tournament: Group matches for the men's tournament are in St.Lucia and Guyana. Super Eights are in St. Lucia and Barbados. The semi-finals are in St.Lucia and the final in Barbados. Group matches for the women's tournament are in St. Kitts, with the semi-finals in St.Lucia and final in Barbados. ---------------------------------------------------- More research gyne on, as regards dates, becozzzz... daz how we gyne know when a mini-cruise might happen. .

Ain't know where I get October from:rolleyes: Lets hope that we get more of the same as the last world cup. It has both men & women going on so they should be some need for extra accomodation. The finals are definitely in BIM. I can work with any of those dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
