Yesterday, I returned from the Caribbean. The destruction from the two hurricanes was horrific. It will be a long time before the islands are back to normal. Yet, the folks I met were upbeat and thankful for all the help they received from their various national governments: French, Dutch, US, English, etc.
Tourism is slowly returning, and I would encourage anyone who is able and considering it, to take a cruise. On one island, not a single hotel had been able to reopen. There is still plenty to see and do that is not depressing. I got some really impressive pictures of pilot whales and pods of dolphins off St Lucia.
