Our 1st Caribbean island experience…and we went with a purpose other than a warm escape from winter. We took a business plan to present to the Dept of Agriculture that detailed a hydroponic hothouse operation to employ locals, provide market vegetables, and market export opportunities.
We enjoyed our 1st (and only) all inclusive resort, with taxi transport to other locals. Our meeting with government officials was disappointing. Although our biz plan was acceptable, personally as foreigners we were not; workers would have to come in from other islands.
oops. next time research societal norms.
