There was a lot of small debris still in the seawater and imbedded in the sand, and you almost had to wear water shoes, the only time in 44 years we've ever had to do this. We are not people who need to be catered to and one of our favorite 'other' pastimes is tent camping, if you get my drift.īut there was debris of every nature, from boards and corrugated to boats of every size and description laying on the sides of roads and some still over-turned in the water.
We returned the following April and were appalled by what we saw. We ended up last minute booking a stay in Aruba instead. In '95 we had an AA package tour booked for the very end of November and AA cancelled the whole trip because the island, in their words, wasn't open to visitors yet. Very different from mine, but you know what, I hope you're right and I'm wrong.
