Some time last year, the vast majority of my facebook friends were engulfed in the Mafia Wars frenzy. It was there I met a friend. We exchanged words, and he went on to tell me about his beautiful country of Barbados. Being drawn in by his words and declarations of it's beauty, I started to make frequent trips to the library, checking out every book about the country I could find, and reading them cover to cover. That intrigue turned into a genuine interest to someday visit.
And that was the beginning.
