Filed under: Grenada , Caribbean Grenada is so off the radar for a lot of Americans that it leaves a lot to be learned about the country. (For one, how it's pronounced. Answer: "Gren-ay-da.") But let's look at the most practical advice that'll come in handy when you pay the island-country a visit: Keep your swimsuits to the beach. An indecent exposure law forbids it elsewhere. Cover up,...

Filed under: Arts and Culture , Learning , Food and Drink , Grenada , Caribbean It's official -- the cruise season in Grenada has begun. Actually, the first day of the season fell on a day when I was there recently. I might've missed the influx because I was across the island during most of their 12-hour stay, but I saw the big boat sail in during my breakfast, and sail away during my dinner. Ideally,...

LYNN - Glenn Langlois didn’t expect that decades after taking part in the 1983 invasion of Grenada he would have to sleep in a back alley, or a warehouse, or a patch of woods. The ex-Marine didn’t want to rummage through Salvation Army bins for clothes to keep him warm. He said he never wanted to ask anybody for anything.

Filed under: History , Grenada , Caribbean I didn't know a lot about Grenada before visiting recently, but one name was familiar to me: Ivan -- the hurricane that came through with force in 2004. So once I got there, I wanted to find out two things: what's it like during a hurricane? And how does the country look now, five years later? You first have to realize -- the hurricane was a fluke. The reason...

Grenada's Foreign Minister Peter David is confident that the strengthening of relations with Brazil and Portugal could soon bring major benefits to the country's tourism industry and, possibly, the sector in other Eastern Caribbean countries.

We had some friends staying for the weekend, so I decided that it'd be nice to make some spiced buns for breakfast. These spiced plum buns worked well but I was keen to get something really traditionally British into them: the Bramley apple . Bramley's are what they call a cooking apple over here - they are quite sour and collapse into fluff when you cook them. They are the best thing in the world...

There doesn't seem to be anything that Telfor Bedeau doesn't know about Grenada's plants. In the past 50 yards alone, he's pointed out trees that would've gone unnoticed as anything other than anonymous tropical trees. But now they're...

PUBLISHED BY THE WEEKENDER SUPPLEMENT OF SINT MAARTEN'S DAILY HERALD ON OCTOBER 31, 2009 Twenty-six years ago the dormant island of Grenada became the unlikely host of a 7,000-strong invading force primarily consisting of US Marines and other US military personnel. It was the first time since the Vietnam War that the USA was involved in a major military offensive and it was received with widespread...

A few months back I was watching Trevor McDonald’s The Secret Caribbean, and I noticed he visited an award winning business called The Grenada Chocolate Company . Naturally I had a quick Google to see how available the chocolate was here in the UK, but I couldn’t find a stockist at that time. Last week though I was in London, doing the tourist things and I couldn’t resist a look at...

Filed under: History , Business , Food and Drink , Grenada , Caribbean You wouldn't know it from the abundance of nutmeg in shops, but Grenada's production of the spice stopped five years ago. And it'll continue to be at a halt for another five years. Why? Because of Hurricane Ivan. 82% of the island's nutmeg trees were destroyed by the 2004 hurricane. But amazingly enough, there's still plenty of...

Windsor is an easy train journey from London. The castle, a short walk from the station, dominates the town. The building itself (not including grounds) covers 13 acres and is the biggest inhabited castle in the world. William the Conqueror picked the site, west of London overlooking the Thames and it has been a Royal residence and fortress ever since – almost 950 years. The Queen still spends most
