Visiting Dominica

We have no international airports but it is worth the trip
So put on your adventurer’s hat and figure out a way.
Dominica is the only place in the world you will see
A green sisserou or a red-necked parrot day to day.

You want hot springs? Try our marvelous Boiling Lake.
We have lush mountainous rain forests at the “Isle of Beauty.”
Our variety of flora and fauna cannot be duplicated anywhere else.
Making your trip worthwhile is our pleasure, our sacred duty.

Dominica is part of an island chain in the Caribbean, tis true.
We were settled by the Arawak from South America long ago.
Called the “Nature Island of the Caribbean" is our pleasure, boo.
Come see our sperm whales and spinner dolphins. None are slow.

Like other secluded islands, we are host to rare plants and animals.
A river for every day of the year, a total of three hundred and sixty-five.
Geothermal volcanic activity still forms us, so you can witness that too.
When you visit the Dominica, you will feel you are truly alive!

Caren, I've been to Dominica...one of the places I'd like to return to, but probably won't now. Sounds like you have a deep affection for the island.

I think Deb hung a painting here in the house somewhere that she purchased in Dominica. She also liked Antigua and Martinique. Hey, take a cruise that hits all of them. We did.
