– Dory Graae, Jason Holowachuk and I went to Barbados right after we finished the school year at U of S
· Richard White, Dory’s roommate, was from Barbados but hadn’t been home in 2 years

· We were to meet Richard down there after he’d been home a few days but he met a girl in Toronto and missed his flight, somehow got her to buy him a new flight and eventually got there about 12 hours before us
· We stayed a couple days at his parents farm in the centre of the island (pig and chicken farm)
· Moved to a place a block from the beach – big 3 bdr house owned by his uncle, charged us $150 in total for nearly 3 weeks (just cleaning) partially because it was low season
· Beach very windy – actually blew the hacky-sack around
· Spent several nights at Bert’s Bar watching the Vancouver-NYR Stanley Cup finals (Bure, Messier)
· Went boogie boarding on rough South coast
· Visited the water spouts on north coast – I got swept off my feet, Dory grabbed me while I was trying to save my sandal
· Jason was traumatized by white handprint sunburned onto his chest, and by us giving him a new nickname – Daiquiri-Boy
· Their girlfriends called every night (Gina, Cheryl) – it’s possible Laynni forgot I was gone
