I guess it's safe to assume you aren't a camper!! We did a week of tent camping on St. John a few years ago and OMG, the creatures we saw and the things we learned about them. But that's a whole other story.

I do appreciate that most of us would be intimidated by seeing one of these creatures first-hand up close and personal, and even moreso in a restaurant setting, but whether or not the presence of one 'Palmetto Bug' (that sounds so much better than the other choice, doesn't it?) in a Caribbean climate is the same as an 'infestation' is a totally different discussion.

With regard to FIG specifically, I've found it to be immaculate on every one of our many dinners there since it opened so based on the presence of one cockroach (which, incidentally may have fallen onto the back of the diner before he entered the restaurant and just came along for the ride - just sayin'......) I'm not willing to say it's "infested" and we will definitely not be deterred from checking it out in person in a few more weeks. Who knows, I might be singing a very different song then but I'm thinking and hoping probably not. FIG is a very convenient go-to spot for us when we don't feel like going out for a formal island dinner and I'd hate to lose it as such. We'll see what happens in April. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
