crud followed by h month or two of uncertain weather at best now ive tried to convince the good people at the tribune and the markham economist and sun that we should have a carib bean correspondent someone to keep track of what our friends and neighbors actually do when they fly off to the sun and sand and surf in january i would set up shop for a few weeks on the west coast of bar bados portable typewriter under my arm combing the white sand for locals then i would write fascinating feature stories about their daredevil attempts at wind- from where i live wi bruce stapley surfing para sailing and fighting for dance floor space aboard the infamous jolly roger party boat then it would be off to puerto vallarta to research traffic pat terns to determine whether or not our new interlocking brick sidewalks on main street will stand the test of time as well as the cobblestone roads of that now overrun mexican fishing village in beautiful banderas bay then off to venezuela in search of vendors of such items as leather shoes to come and ped dle their wares at the flea market what a service i would be providing for the community island hopping in the bahamas id be sure to

annual festival of lights during the past five years the old village has been positively transformed into a vibrant glamorous and upbeat setting for the annual winter festival whats amazing is that
