About this listen

 Romp through the Seventies Caribbean with this light-hearted autobiography. Have you ever felt there must be more to life than this? It was the early Seventies and my husband and I were trapped in the numbing bondage of nine to five jobs. We were young, impulsive and thirsting for new experiences. Throwing caution to the winds we sold our new home and bought tickets on a banana boat to the West Indies. This is the story of our adventures. From Trinidad and Tobago to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Anecdotes include gambling with a Princess and a Baroness, Army mutiny and trial for treason, and Playin’ Mas in Trinidad. Experience life as it was in the British Virgin Islands before cruise ships and tourists. In 1971 the BVI was virtually unknown as a tourist destination. It was the recreational retreat of the rich and famous including Rockefeller, Jimmy Carter, Dr ‘Baby’ Spock, Liz Taylor, Jacky Onassis and Jack Cousteau. We lived on Tortola for two wonderful years. Read about our triumphs and tragedies and meet the colourful characters who lived in the BVI and the ‘snowbirds’ who flew in for winter. Caribbean Heartfelt Transportation Island
