So I made it to St. Vincent, my home for the next 4 1/2 months, and surprisingly with all my luggage for once. (At least the one from the plane - one of the two luggage pieces shipped directly from Grenada didn't make it, along with of everybody else's. Naturally, it was the one with all my clothes in it…)
So far I've managed to move into my place, do some airport pickups, pick up my one shipped suitcase did arrive, get a new phone number/SIM card, go grocery shopping and get two flat tires on the same wheel. Yes, one on the regular wheel and on one the spare. Needless to say, there are a couple of really deep potholes that you can't drive over at 40kph. Or maybe it was just one. Yeah, I probably hit the same one twice. Good thing is it will probably only be $20 for new tires. Bad thing is I don't know how much the rim will cost if that was damaged. Gotta be better than the $950 a friend had to shell out for a tiny fender bender (literally some paint scraped off on her first day driving.) Our landlord was really, really nice about the flats though (since we are renting the car from him) and let us borrow his personal vehicle to get around in. So far so good…
Well it's back to the airport to pick up roommate #3…
