wlaidlaw Posted September 29, 2017 Share #2385 Posted September 29, 2017 I thought the "Dutch" roofs would lead folks astray but no, not Curaçao. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted September 29, 2017 Share #2386 Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Hello Wilson, If the previous guess was "astray", then, possibly more to the point: How about Jamaica?Best Regards, Michael Edited September 29, 2017 by Michael Geschlecht Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted September 29, 2017 Share #2388 Posted September 29, 2017 USVI? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 29, 2017 Share #2389 Posted September 29, 2017 Luckily not USVI or else it might have been badly damaged. My wife and I have booked a holiday on Puerto Rico in February next year. We suspect, as Mauabo, where our chosen hotel is (was), is on the south coast, about where the eye came ashore, and the hotel was on the beach, there will be nothing left of it. You cannot communicate at all to PR at the moment. I was trying to get hold of Seabourne A/L with whom we were booked to fly to PR from Antigua yesterday and cannot get through on phone or email. I used to co-own a hurricane insurance underwriting business on the US Virgin Islands but I am very relieved that we closed it down, because of political interference. The local politicians said we were charging too much, as the islands never got that badly hit by a hurricane - oh yes! Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted September 29, 2017 Share #2390 Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Hello Wilson, You may well be right about Puerto Rico not being fixed by the time of your trip. For the most part, to date, there has been very little done in the way of repairing damage & very little of the aid that has been sent has left the docks or/& the airports. 90% of telephone service throughout the Island is still inoperable. Travel is still very difficult in & to many parts of the Island. This on top of an ailing infrastructure that was already often inoperable. The replacement & repairs of which had been cut back significantly before the Hurricanes had even arrived. With even more cuts planned. By the way, are we talking about somewhere down around Grenada?

wlaidlaw Posted October 7, 2017 Share #2393 Posted October 7, 2017 Bump - hint religious connotations in the name but not in usage (ever really). You could certainly end up rather merry after a visit here. I will be visiting this house, when I am staying with my sister in law in January, as she is a friend of the current owners.

wlaidlaw Posted October 18, 2017 Share #2395 Posted October 18, 2017 Saint Nicholas Abbey, the Great House, Barbados. Correct - your turn. It is one of only three Jacobean mansions from this period in the western hemisphere and dates from 1658. Larry Warren who now owns it and restored it from poor condition runs a good restaurant in the main house. They make an excellent 15 year old rum on the premises. Larry has restored a lot of the original machinery including the steam engine which powers cane rolls, to crush the cane syrup out of their home grown sugar cane, which then is fermented to make the wash to distill into rum. I will be having lunch there in January. Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
