I thought I was entering a site with information about travel. I guess I was wrong. <BR>

Thank you very much to 'jj' and Hank Reardon for your support. <BR> <BR>As to the gratutitous, ad-hominem attacks, there really is no need to respond.

Noah

I have decided to reply in order to clarify some things. <BR> <BR>I am happy that Jan had a nice time and her description of Guadeloupe sounds very nice indeed. <BR> <BR>I replied as I did because I read in a Fodor's Caribbean guide that smoking is ubiquitous on Guadeloupe and that it is virtually impossible not to be exposed to it. <BR> <BR>My raising the issue of whether or not it is worthwhile in the long-run to choose a vacation destination where one will be exposed to the dangers of second-hand smoke was perfectly legitimate and appropriate. Unfortunately, the thread degenerated into gratutious personal attacks on me rather than an intelligent discussion and debate of the most serious and relevant issue which I raised. <BR> <BR>The people who accused me of using a sophisticated vocabulary just to impress people seem to be jealous of the fact that my vocabulary is actually superior to theirs. This is actually quite pathetic because I'll be the first to admit that my vocabulary is not that great but I guess that compared to theirs it looks impressive. <BR> <BR>Notice that I only say this in response to their insults and attacks on me. I do not insult people gratuitously but when attacked I will fight back. <BR> <BR>As to my Caribbean travel experiences, they are not relevant to this thread. I have never been to Guadeloupe and have never claimed to. <BR> <BR>I went to Puerto Rico and Antigua when I was around 9 or 10 with my parents. That was over 16 years ago as I am 26 now and I have rather vague yet very fond memories of both vacations. Unfortunately, there are several reasons why I have not been to the Caribbean since then. I participate in this forum because I have a great interest in the region and hope to go back in the not-too-distant future and I enjoy reading about people's experiences and learning about the region. I have also been doing some research into the region for some business ideas I have which I am not at liberty to discuss at this point. <BR> <BR>Those of you who are able to travel often are very blessed.

Oh yes...one more thing... <BR>YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS!!!!

Noah

It should be obvious that the above post is another forgery.

Noah

No..I take that back. It is true that all of you..every single one of you heathens... <BR>ARE IDIOTS!!!

Hey, this is just an update. We've moved and changed our email address. so here is the new one. We've corresponded with several people on our trip to Guadeloupe and will be happy to converse with you. We were there in December of 1999.
