    If you had asked me years ago what was number one on my travel bucket list, I would have said seeing whales in the ocean, whale watching or whale spotting of any kind! Did you hear the swhale clicks? :) This was a magical experience and I am thankful for every moment. Seeing whales left me speechless and it was the perfect reminder that our planet is full of majestic animals, rich marine life and we need to continue to protect it, every day!
    Weather you are inspired to go snorkelling in Dominica or even book a whale watching trip, I hope you enjoyed my first travel vlog after a long time!

    Such a beautiful experience and you're so authentic, it's really nice to see you enjoying this so much. Nature is certainly the best asset we' ve got and we ought to make an effort not only as inhabitants of our corner of the planet but also as tourists to reduce the negative impact we make in the world. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures in the Caribbean!

    Amazing! We went on a whale watching tour in the US, but unfortunately we did not see any. The guide said we were in the 1% club who weren't lucky enough. So we got a second ticket for a ride. But we never went there again.

    Hi, Sandy, that was fantastic, back in the days when social distancing was not the phrase of the year and hardly anyone had heard of covid 19, let's all keep our fingers crossed that we will soon be able to get back to something more normal. I'm sure you can't wait to travel again, we can't wait to see you travel. Where will you go on your first trip and when?. Looking forward to your next video soon.

    A whale of a tale. A big splash. Wonder if whales have memories like elephants? Wait until Sandy meets mighty blue whales, the biggest creatures ever to grace this planet. Their tongues weigh as much as an elephant, & their newborns are [only] 8800 pounds, tiny. :-)

      Yes exactly! That’s what we did too. You’d fly into Antigua with let’s say Virgin and then take a little plane to Dominica from there. I’m currently working on my blogpost which will have all the info of how to get there ❤️

    When I saw the prices on that menu, I wondered WHAT currency those dollars were in?! ($60 for a lunch) but then I looked it up and there was an East Carribean Dollar that's valued at about 0.37 cents of a USD, so the $60 lunch was $22 in USD = 16GBP, so I guess not SO bad :)
