We stayed on another island in a very large high end villa with a group of first timers to the Caribbean. This was a very well maintained 5 acre estate with all the bells and whistles. One evening a couple of us waited for others in the driveway, we sat on a short stone wall, my hands were palms down ob the wall, yep a tree rat, black rat, rattus rattus or whatever you want to call it literally came down the wall and sniffed my hand!! I felt it and jumped up watching that vermon scamper away. These rats are everywhere, just sit still at night near any wall, they will come! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
