How wonderful. The news makes my heart spring. Doubtless thousands of Barbadians, perhaps scores of thousands, wake every morning, as I do, and think: I’ll get some snapper at Oistons on the way home, make a fish and salad dinner, keep my spouse and children far away from Bajan/Caricom-self-imposed-tariff-induced-diabetes-and-heart-disease. And later, if I get the chance, I’ll drive for an hour in the hope that I might see Sting, possibly Hugh Grant. Thanks for sharing.

Well, this poll by Expedia is no doubt self-serving (maybe they are having a sale on Barbados now?)--how can you compare Barbados to Paris? I recently read that Barbados was the 3rd most popular Caribbean destination...so anyway, in my own personal poll-- if I had my way and unlimited funds I would be living in Paris!
