Labadee, Haiti.
It was refreshing to hear from Haitians in Labadee, that they are well provided for with good paying jobs from the Royal Caribbean Company. By Haitian standards, this is a very cushy job, because having a job with this large, privately owned company garners respect, as well as incentives like a Visa and other standard employment benefits. Shortly after the earthquake hit Port-au-Prince (which is about 120 miles south of Labadee), Royal Caribbean distributed food and built water main's , delivering fresh water to Labadee, it's neighbor Cap-Haitian and beyond.
Labadee is a truly beautiful place which reminded me of of Haiti when I was there as a kid. It also gave me hope for Haiti reclaiming her glory. For Haitians, there is much to be proud of, and I never want to lose sight of that.

I love the architecture in Old San Juan, and the color palette used on the facades definitely let you know you're in the caribbean!
