Dominica November 2005A week-long trip to the mountainous Carribean island of Dominica (pronounced "Dom-in-EEK-a"). Primary rainforest covers over two thirds of the island, making it arguably the most untouched island in the Caribbean. This is not your typical tourist's Caribbean. The best beach is accesible only by rappeling down the side of a cliff, and the loudest nightlife hotspot is 15 feet in the air, in a treehouse surrounded by the cacophony of jungle sounds.Dates of travel: Nov 18, 2005 to Nov 26, 2005 Duration of travel: 8 days Photos taken with Canon Rebel XT 350D |

Day 0: Layover in Puerto Rico
|
We start our journey to Dominica with an 11-hour overnight layover in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We spend the night at a resort complete with fake waterfalls, tropical drinks served at the swim-up bar, a 24-hour casino, and all the conveniences of home.
A part of me (the burnt out exhausted part) just wants to relax and join the throngs of other Americans, lounging on the white sand beaches in front of the resort. But the call of adventure beckons...where we are going has no resorts, no high-rises, no golf courses. And sometimes, no electricity. |
