Have you ever been to any of the Caribbean countries?

Beautiful terrain, but HORRIBLE conditions - and it's NOT just the governments. People are different there, and have been for multiplied generations. Nice people, most of them, but absolutely incapable of doing what would be necessary to turn any of these island countries around economically.
