A friend and I recently decided to take a last minute trip to the exotic island of Barbados where in just 3 days this incredible adventure led us to swim with turtles, explore the island, and even take surf lessons.

My wife and I just returned from our honeymoon in Barbados. One of the most memorable days was the 3 hour surfing lesson with Russell. First off, he's a great guy and very funny. He was very patient with us and had us riding waves in no time. Neither me or my wife had ever surfed, snow-boarded, skateboarded, ice-skated, roller-bladed,... More
