Grenada, the "Island of Spice", is a beautiful country located in the Caribbean sea, northwest of Trinidad & Tobago. The scenery is very enchanting and the people are very friendly and helpful.The flying time from Miami to Grenada is about 3.5 hours.

Some sections of St George have very steep roads, reminds me of the roads in my hometown Mangalore

Thanks Anshul & Akash...you are right,Karwar & the surrounding areas are extremely beutiful...especially during the monsoons. Other places in India that are clean & nice are Dehradun, Kochi,Mysore and Jaipur...I must admit its been atleast 10 years since I visited these cities.

Some interesting boats in the waterfront -
