Mélange Travel & Lifestyle Magazine October 2017 | Page 4

The Editor says . . . Many of us have visited the Caribbean. Some of our readers have visited more than one island, and others, like me, have been to just a few. But whether a few or many, voices are all joined to mourn with the islands who have lost so much during the recent Hurricanes Irma and Maria. In unity comes strength and the outpouring of assistance from individuals, organizations, fellow Caribbean countries and friendly, sympathetic nations has been heart-warming to witness - all aimed at speedily assisting the rebuilding and restoration process - and rebuild they will! While the hurricane-ravaged islands are putting the pieces back together, the unaffected ones are open for business and continue to welcome visitors. Our cover story for this issue showcases one of them, namely, the scenic islands of St. Vincent and The Grenadines. Its Minister of Tourism Cecil McKie entices readers to come on down to experience a one-of-a- kind vacation of sailing, diving, eco-tourism and romance . . . get married there or simply escape for your honeymoon to one of the Grenadine islands. Delightful! Happy Reading.
