Thank you everyone for the responses. I really appreciate the honest advice, especially about FdF. The hotel there was at the bottom of our list of choices so we're definitely not longer considering staying in that area.

Jeannius- Thanks for sharing the link to your wife's blog. Looking forward to reading it. Good to hear an opinion about the local rhum. I'm not 100% sure now if we're going to make it to a distillery since we're adding St. Pierre to the list of places to see.

Sunset Sammy- Good call on learning the types of meat!

Carolyn- Thanks for the heads up on the difficulty finding a place to exchange currency. Too funny about the "a little bit" I will keep that in mind!

denverdOn- Thanks for the tip about greeting with bonjour. Definitely don't want to offend anyone! Looking forward to learning a little French before the trip.

Thanks again everyone!
