LOL! I agree with him as well, but just couldn't bring myself to post it publicly. Now that you have, I guess I'm safe. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Carol, GaKaye. This is too much for me to handle. Just about spayed coffee on my keyboard from the shock of reading this. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

As none of the current tenants have been offered anything yet, does anyone even know if they are even first in line for the chance to occupy?

The question is "Do the displaced beach restaurants have the deep pockets enough to stay closed for so long and are able to reopen?"
SXM??? Wendell

Perhaps the government is going to offer some type of assistance. I'm sure they're not having to pay their lot rents while they're closed, and perhaps their rents in the new location will be reduced or deferred for a time to allow for recovery. France is effectively a socialist society, so I'd be very surprised if some assistance wasn't offered to these long-time business owners.

All these speculations are just too funny!Perhaps all visitors to the island should just wait until the dust settles and see what is actually going to happen. There are too many unknowns in this situation and nobody knows anything for sure, not even the government!

There was nothing insulting about my use of that term. I was referring to the country's policies regarding employment.

Socialist society? If you paid attention to French politics you would know that their version of a nazi party is making big strides - hardly socialist. When Americans stop using the term as an implied insult they might gain an understanding of how other countries chose to operate. Until then you can either keep invading them or stay home - take your pick.
Take a look at the countries where the following are true:
1) possession of firearms is leagl
2) absence of single-payer health care
3) death penalty in effect
4) public policy based on (interpretation of) religion
and then decide whether you want to be a member of that club Why bring THIS ^^^ into the discussion ????

I'm confused - you take offense that France was referred to as socialist, and then seem proud that the Nazi party is thriving in France. If in fact that is true, I would suggest that weapons be made legal in France, as they will be needed. I believe the last time the US invaded France was in June of 1944.

This can go nowhere good. We should probably all ignore the troll; I apologize that I didn't.

So, getting back to the original subject here <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> ....If anyone on island could post pictures as the tear-down and reconstruction happens, it would be much appreciated! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/thanks.gif" alt="" />

OK, let's do this. Let's go ahead and close this one, as it is way long anyway. Someone can start a new thread, just no crazy political comments (which I knew that Georgia didn't mean it that way anyway..)
