Oops then I broke the law.... Didn't mean to
But I found a conch that someone had already eaten the fish out of and it was too perfect to pass up
And just fwiw, the only sea glass I found was broken beer bottles just (obviously so) - I cleaned them up

It is not permitted to transport shells of protected species but common sea shells are not prohibited.
Some areas of the USA prohibit the removal of live shells but this really has nothing to do with travel.

beachpeople said: Just before you go upstairs to customs at the airport, there is a glass case with examples of what not to try and take home. There it is, a big conch shell. Bringing a conch shell back in to the US is legal, depending on where you are coming from. From What you need to know from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. You may import queen conch into the United States from parts of the Caribbean not subject to the trade prohibitions, provided it is allowed by the country of export and it is accompanied by any required CITES documents. Countries from which import may be allowed include: Anguilla, Aruba, Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Costa Rica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Montserrat, the Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Panama, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Turks and Caicos, and Venezuela.

We stayed right behind Kakao, so I have a good idea where you were staying. We too liked just being able to walk across the road to the beach. Back today, miss that morning walk.
Re – “another month till everyone is up and running” – I don’t think so. Four are standing together [so far] wanting the resto buildings to be done correctly – Cheryl’s [old name], Chez Leandra, Ethnic and Orange Fever. A ton of issues to be dealt with as well as lease terms. I suspect if they dig in too hard, the gov’t will ask others if they want the spaces and then the owner of the northern beach bars will take over some spots – only my guess. Otherwise power and water hook ups are the most pressing issue.
Note the sail awning, protects about 16 sq of deck from any rain – that’ s why Sun Beach, Aloha and Le String have built roofs with some sort of side walls being built

Has anyone heard anything else about the status of the negotiations, if there are any, with the Collectivite' regarding the leases? I do not blame the holdouts at all. The government has been so unfair in this whole situation. I guess that the people who have gone forward to get open feel that the government will have to modify the leases? This is just such a total no win situation for them. They are basically going on 9 months with no income. What small business can survive that, and then afterward, pay 500% of what their previous rent was, per month? It's crazy...

Thanks for posting. The most important thing is that you had a great time! Sorry the responses got sideways about that one issue.
