Ken’s dream holiday ruined

Maybe if Ken hasn't gotten this resolved the Barbados Tourist Board could help out...you never know....The man always wanted to come to Barbados...I hope someone makes his dream come true....

Ken’s dream holiday ruined : "A PENSIONER fears he has lost his savings and missed on his dream holiday after a travel company went bust – 24 hours after it withdrew money from his bank.
Ken Williams, aged 72, of New Park, Talbot Green, spent two years saving for a £3,148 luxury cruise, which was set to sale from Falmouth to Barbados this April.
But Mr Williams was horrified to find that just a week after booking the holiday Travelscope Holidays Limited was going into administration – a day after taking the money out of his account.
Mr Williams said: “I booked up for the cruise on December 16 – I had always wanted to go to Barbados."

The colonization of Barbados is one of the darkest events and evil stories of modern history. Four centuries ago Spanish and Portuguese slavers started to kidnap, kill and drive out the thousands of peaceful Indians found on the islands the Indians called Ichiroganaum. The exact location of the island was a carefully kept secret but Spanish and Portuguese sailors knew the island only as the barbarous island, “Los Barbados” where brutality and crime could be committed with immunity. The island lay just outside the Caribbean and far away from watchful eyes. Look out for this and other books by Gary and Angela Cole…

Bummed Out on Barbados

Never let it be said that you can please all the people all of the time...but you certainly can please some of the people some of the time Tampa Exotic Travel Examiner: "While I wouldn’t recommend Barbados for travelers on a budget or as a one-day wonder, its west-coast resorts are great for an extended stay. The pink- and white-sand beaches are world class, and most hotels offer outstanding cuisine with top-notch (and expensive) restaurants available via cab on a reservation basis. My wife Kelly and I stayed for three nights at the lovely Treasure Beach Hotel (www.treasurebeachhotel.com) about two years ago. Our villa faced a pool shaded by gorgeous trees, and only a few feet beyond the beach and Caribbean Sea. During our stay we enjoyed golf, fishing and trying new cuisine such as a flying fish sandwich (I didn’t like it). By all means consider Barbados in a Caribbean itinerary, but I’d pass unless it’s part of a package deal that includes a few more interesting locations (like...
