Medical Care in Barbados (Houses barbados)

Tip! The Barbados Gold Cup Festival is truly a unique event. It is the marquee horse race in the Caribbean as well as a highly anticipated cultural celebration.

While most people visit Barbados for a relaxing holiday in the sun, the realities of life often come into play when medical assistance is needed. This was in the international spotlight recently when emergency medical assistance was required of the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair and his wife Cherie’s son Euan.

It is important to have a plan in case of a medical emergency during your stay in Barbados. Ambulances can often take up to one hour to reach your location, especially if you are on the busy West Coast.

Barbados as an Offshore Jurisdiction (Barbados embassy)

Tip! The quality and profile of Barbados polo as improved over the years with much better facilities being offered. Apart from the Barbados Polo Club at Holders Hill, three new polo fields have opened at Waterhall, Lion Castle and Clifton, all of which offer breathtaking views over rural Barbados.

This jurisdiction has a number of taxes that need to be overcome that right off the top make this a less than favorable jurisdiction. Why go offshore if taxation in the offshore jurisdiction is going to be a problem.

Polo in Barbados - an (Pictures of barbados) Energetic Island Pastime

Tip! The Barbados Gold Cup Festival is truly a unique event. It is the marquee horse race in the Caribbean as well as a highly anticipated cultural celebration.

Nothing matches an afternoon of polo in the tropical surroundings of Barbados. Beautiful ladies in haute couture, squired by an array of dashing men, gather to watch the sport of kings while sipping champagne amidst the sound of hoof beats. There is also afternoon tea, a fully stocked bar — or in Bajan parlance, “bar solid” — and most often a delicious Bajan buffet is served. It is truly an afternoon of civilized fun for the international set.

Caribbean Magic and Culture: Holder’s Season in Barbados (Barbados vacation rentals)

Tip! The gastronomy is far more diverse than that of many other Barbados restaurants. Most restaurants in Barbados feature ‘trendy’ cuisine, at many times a bit overdone.

The United States has Mardi Gras, Brazil has Carnivale, the Germans have Oktoberfest and Barbados has Holders Season. Each spring marks a nearly month-long celebration of culture, culinary delight, and fellowship in Barbados. Holders Season is indeed one of the premier cultural events in Barbados and the Caribbean. If ever there were a time to visit this island paradise, the visit would have to coincide with this celebration.

De Plane Ride to Barbados (Barbados travel)

Tip! In 1966, after nearly 350 years of British rule, Barbados became an independent nation. The political, economic and social stability that were a feature of its colonial past continue today.

No self respecting West Indian traveling to the USA would ever leave home with anything other than an empty suitcase in order to return with luggage full of “Americana.” North Americans are frequently amazed at the amount of bulging bags Bajans bring to the ticket counters. But they must understand; in Barbados, we do not have the likes of WalMart, KMart, Target, or any of the other major retailers, so a trip to the North is always a shopping event.
