Just got back from Grenada installing some wash equipment. I thought the travel and customs would be the hard part, and the installation would be the easy part. Got it exactly backwards. Customs is automated now and as long as you don't crack jokes about sensitive things, getting through is painless. Traveling to a place where they drive on the left, with roads like you might find in the Ozarks back in the 1930s, with very limited local supply stores is challenging, to say the least. Makes you feel really good when returning and seeing again what we have here and just take for granted.

Mac,

Was a possible need for working with the East Caribbean dollar (XCD) a non issue?

Pretty much so. Most places took our credit cards and US dollars. They gave change in the ECD. We stayed at the main part of the island and mistakenly thought it would be nice for a day to drive around the island. Bad idea. Some places there are scary, especially the socalled roads through theit mountain preserve. White knuckle driving. Glad the women weren't there.
