It’s everywhere you go. Even the Caribbean has more than its share nowadays, though Anguilla is never overburdened and several of the smaller islands beyond the capital cities are usually untrammelled. We’re talking traffic, lots of it. Kingston Jamaica, Port of Spain Trinidad, Bridgetown Barbados, Castries St Lucia are increasingly clogged with cars as journey to work times continue to expand. Last week I experienced a strange variation on the theme. The narrow one way systems of Dominica’s main town of Roseau are rarely congested, unless one of the giant cruise liners just happens to have docked at the waterfront, but this was not one of those days. I’d pootled into town from Goodwill in the north, clattered over the river bridge into Queen Mary Street and was quietly minding my own business when the light traffic in front inexplicably ground to a halt. ~ Dominica Traffic - Caribbean Norm or Witches Curse?

The Island Of Dominica Is Encouraging Investment . . . But Not at Any Price - Dominica’s towering central mountain range, expanses of forest, waterfalls and offshore reefs have together earned it the name “Nature Island of the Caribbean.”  Dominica markets its natural beauty to full advantage, attracting eco-tourists to this unspoiled destination.  Like many Caribbean countries, the Nature Island is looking at ways to diversify its economy.  It is developing a niche in eco-tourism and, like many of its neighbours, Dominica has seen the advantages of establishing an offshore financial centre. Dominica is watching and learning from the example of other financial services industries in the region.  The re-engineered Economic Citizenship Program, established relatively recently in 1996, is an interesting example of how Dominica is welcoming quality investors to its paradise while attempting to keep out the snake of international crime.

Real Estate Investment In The Caribbean ~ Dominica, The "Nature" Island - For a long term investment in the "greenest" jewel of the Caribbean, take a look at the little known island called the Commonwealth of Dominica. Half way along the curved necklace of islands comprising the Windward Islands of the Eastern Caribbean basks a mountainous rock of 290 sq miles (750 sq km).  At longitude 61º 20W, and latitude 15º 25N, Dominica is a land of steep mountains and cliffs plummeting straight into the blue Caribbean sea on the western side and the grey Atlantic on the eastern.  Rising at the highest point to Mt. Diablotin at 4,747 ft. (1,447m), this is a country of raw beauty, rugged headlands and moody mountains, their peaks often buried in cloud. Originally from the UK, but having lived, cruised and built businesses in the Caribbean over the last two decades, my husband and I always hoped to be able to make a home in Dominica when the time was right. The main attractions?... its untamed, unspoiled tropical countryside, the Dominican people's natural pride and understanding of environmental stewardship and the chance to be a part of that heritage.

Buying a Property in the Caribbean Online - Sitting in my dining room with the first cup of coffee of the day I look at the pictures mounted on the wall by the table. Six shots of our vacation back in November 2006 to Loreto, Baja California, looking out over the Sea of Cortez. The fishing boat we took to our own little island with lunch caught fresh from the crystal clear waters, the tree lined streets, the palapa roofed beach hut, the golden red sunset. Now just distant memories but also a reminder during the dark, cold days of winter just what awaits my wife and me when we retire. A year round warm climate and spectacular scenery. It’s just that it will not be to Loreto, Baja California that we will be moving to. Yes, we had a fantastic vacation, great hospitality at the bed and breakfast we stayed at, lovely weather, awesome scenery and views. The thing that put us off was that we realized having viewed a number of plots of land in and around Loreto we felt that eventually it would become just another American ‘sub-division’, albeit with a little more sunshine. Now let me explain something here. I am English, my wife is American, a native of Sherwood, North Little Rock, Arkansas. It was she who made the comment about the town of Loreto becoming a ‘sub division’. This is what put us off buying in Loreto:

The Caribbean’s Best Kept Secret For Expatriates ~ Dominica ~  - The Caribbean is synonymous with hedonism - from the mass tourist Mecca of the Bahamas to the off-the-beaten-path divers' paradise of Bonaire. What you might not know about the Caribbean, however, is that it's also home to one of the most appealing - and inexpensive - expatriate and retirement havens in the world. This little-known gem, though off the well-trodden path taken by most travelers, has a lot to offer. So if you're longing for the good life in a tropical haven, duck the crowds and head to Dominica. With no direct flights from North America or Europe, Dominica is welcome retreat of peace and quiet in the Caribbean's sea of mass tourism. Roughly halfway between Martinique and Guadeloupe, the island is splendidly underdeveloped.  A land of waterfalls, rivers (365 of them), hot springs, and lush rain forests, Dominica is the Caribbean’s most rugged isle.

Dominica Extreme, Dominica Diving ~ On The Island Of Dominica - I have come to Coconut Beach in Dominica, the Nature Island, volcanically spit and shaped in the Lesser Antilles, to spend Christmas holidays with my spouse Captain Tom. He arrived here on November 20th, delayed by scores of mudslides that blocked passage on cliffside roads. The island suffered the only major earthquake in its history - 6.5 on the Richter scale, the epicenter of the quake was 10 kilometers from the east coast of the island; the quake occurred at 6 a.m. on Sunday, November 21st. It rocked the place awake, a cacophony of people running into the street, as it blew the steeple off the Catholic Church hours before the first service, crushing the blessedly empty Methodist bus, leaving only a pile of rubble. The cement houses, skywhite or lime bright, withstood the force of the quake. “This is the second-most mountainous country in the world” a native son, returning to visit after garnering an MBA and a Baptist bible in Missouri, tells me. The airplane arcs, angles, and circles the 29 x 16 range of rainforest, swamp, and black sand before touching down at Melville Hall.

Travels In The Caribbean ~ Dominica And Antigua - Dominica - There is an undeniable magic about Dominica, it hovers in the universal sound of falling water, in the misty green mountains and vowel-heavy Creole spoken on every village street. Take care, this region of magic is inhabited by jumbies, entities who are not known for their kindness to people.  We all know that Dominica has one of the highest rainfall counts on planet earth. That is why its known as the Nature island, it does not get that green without some serious rain!  And what other country not even forty miles long and a quarter of that wide has a waterfall for every day of the year? Summing it up, there are only two continuously boiling lakes in the Americas, and they stay boiling because heavy rainfall never lets them boil dry! Dominicas lake is the largest of its kind. So it was a bit of risk when a Hollywood film production for the new blockbuster movie Pirates of the Caribbean II decided to do most of the outdoor on location shooting here in Dominica. What a coup this was for Dominica, against such places as St. Vincent and St. Lucia. But this is also the wettest island. Think about it, there was a real chance that it would rain every day and instead of being here for two months, they would be looking at four months eating heavily into the production budget. They started filming around the island in late March and it went on though to the end of May in Vielle Case and other northern areas of coastline and in the south around Scotts Head.
