I am so glad that I followed my gut and took the chance amid the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic to sign up for a two-week writing holiday on the Greek Island of Skyros. This nearly three-week vacation was my first in over two and a half years. My heart sang with the joy of travel (despite airport chaos) and the chance to experience new places and meet interesting people.

I write about the good things of Trinidad & Tobago, my travels, my writings, and more recently, a chronicle of the Coronavirus pandemic in T&T.
Here are some photos from my trip that are not in my main write up.
Luckily, there were no COVID cases on the island while I was there, and none of the course participants brought the virus with them. It was a relief not to have to wear masks during the holiday, though I was one of the few that did while in the crowded airports and on planes. I was also very fortunate to not experience any cancellations or significant delays on my flights through Amsterdam and Athens. I also never lost my luggage, something I have a lot of experience with. Some of my course-mates were not so lucky.
