| At the beginning of the 20th Century Mt. Pelee erupted and
destroyed the town of St. Pierre in just 10 minutes. All that was left was
a guy that was in jail. Sometimes jail isnt so bad I guess... |

Customs and Immigration for Martinique is the easiest by far of all places to
check in, in the WORLD. Check in is done in a internet cafe / bar called
L'Escapade. Extremely informal, plus David had a beer while typing in the
info. No paper wasted. Dominican Republic: CATCH A CLUE. |

I dont remember anything about Anse Mitan!!! But I do remember the
DILLON RUM FACTORY!!! We like to tour rum and beer factories. Mainly
because of the free samples. And of course we are interested in the
historical stories of the old time factories. Before getting the said
samples, we (Nebula, A2C, and Windfreak) had to sit through a 15
minute video on the history of the place, spoken completely in French.
Cant they give us the samples before the movie?? |

David and Vicky posing in front of the unsinkable HMS Diamond Rock. For
17 months British sailors used the rock to harass French vessels trying to
navigate the passage. A French Admiral outwitted the sailors by sending a
skiff loaded with rum to drift over by the island. You can figure out the
conclusion.
