Our trip to l'église du Sacré-Coeur de Balata

Image
  L'église Montmartre de Balata, also known as Église du Sacré-Cœur de Balata. It was my husband who suggested that we visit L'église Montmartre de Balata. It was very interesting because I had never heard of such a church, and it forced me to research the one located in Montmartre in France. He went on to give me the history and connection to one of the largest cathedrals in France, also known as the Basilique de Montmartre.  The story and history behind it are unknown to me, but it seems of great importance to the residents of the Island and France. In my research, I discovered that the structure of Basilique du sacré-coeur de Montmartre looks ancient, artistic and unique. It draws a lot of people from all over the world, making it a tourist attraction. To have a mini version of this church in Martinique, which is also a part of France, gives great importance to the residents and deep meaning. The history and connection, which is not information to me but enough to fascinate...

Spirit airlines is closed unfortunately.

  Every time  an airline shuts down, it creates an inconvenience to travellers.  I have never travelled on Spirit Airlines; however, based on what I have heard from fellow travellers who have travelled and are knowledgeable about Spirit Airlines, it is sad.  The advantages of travelling on Spirit Airlines are their low ticket prices and their competitive service, which they have offered for 34 years in business.  People who are mostly affected by this closure are; The workers. College and University Students, since the ticket prices were very affordable, fit their budgets. Foreign Nationals that lives and work in the United States. The frequent travellers that needs some good deals. How does it affect the Foreign nationals who are residents in the United States? Those residents frequently travel back home, especially Caribbean Nationals, to visit their friends and family. From what I have heard, Spirit Airlines has one of the cheapest one-way flights. How about ...

A day spent at Jardin de Balata in Martinique

Image
                  I would like to start by saying, "It was a day well spent."                                                  Welcome to Jardin de Balata!                                                                                                                                                                                                 ...

HELL! in Cayman Island

Image
  Yes, there is an actual place that is called 'Hell.' And that place is located in no other than the Great Grand Caymans in the district of West Bay. At first, when I heard about it, I could not believe it, so I decided to visit there myself. Upon arrival, I could not believe my own eyes. The land structure is weird; I do not know how to describe it with words, but here goes. The land seems rocky but dry, dark grey with holes within the rocks, yet there are small pools of water, like a swamp, but there is no mud; that is why it is called 'HELL'. Weird, I tell you. On a personal note to me, the rocks look like they were burned, kind of like the phrase," burning in hell." How to get to 'HELL' in the Caymans?  The island is not that big, I think it is around 100 square miles for all three islands. The Grand Cayman occupies 76 square miles. That is where 'HELL' is located. The island is flat and easy to move around on.  We walk...

The most hostoric beach to visit in St.Lucia

Image
                                                                  Grand Anse Beach! Below are photos of Grand Anse.    Yes, I know that you have read that the beach is filled with rubbish and sargassum, but there is so much more to the location. Grand Anse is not just a beach; it has some profound historical landmarks. These photos are not nearly enough to fully experience the beauty of the landmark on the Grand Anse Beach. Furthermore, to your left-hand side upon entering the beach, there is a hilltop that you will be able to access. From the hilltop, there is a magnificent view, which I was unable to capture in a photo to prove that statement. Sadly, the beach is overtaken by sargassum, which makes it unappealing to go for a swim. In addition, local habitants visits the beach quite of...
