Well, you can't judge the whole island as not being nice just because you
encountered a rude bunch of kids. I read your trip report and you had many
contacts with other people in the country side in Grenada...were they rude
and unhelpful and treated you with disrespect? Be honest.

Also, I read about your negative encounter with the owner of the Lime Pub in St.
Vincent...on the basis of that, do you conclude that the people of St.Vincent
are also not nice?

Just out of curiosity, how nice were the people in St. Lucia or Dominica? Did
you experience a marked difference in the friendliness of people on the various
islands you visited or would you say they were all pretty much the same?

Anyway, I enjoyed reading your trip reports with all the details.
Much better then reality TV. Thanks for sharing.
