Barbados Bound

I'm a Barbados virgin, and one of the things I'm most excited about when I go later this month is gorging myself at the weekly Oistins Friday night fish fry (shown at left). Being a Wisconsin girl originally, I know from fish fries, so we'll see how this one stacks up.

The Best of Barbados promo from the Barbados Tourism Authority (BTA) gives you a chance to check it yourself and save some serious cash. Book between June 8 and July 3 for travel between September 1 and December 18 and get the following perks:

Been to Barbados already? I’d love to hear any must-do tips, or better yet, must-eat locales before I go!
