"Your Next Vacation"

Haiti 1982

Back in 1982, The American Express "Your Next Vacation" series, took an in depth look at the tourism hotspot Haiti, to show it's card members, all the great things Haiti had to offer them on their next vacation.

It's interesting to see how many of these sites are still around, like the Oloffson hotel, The El Rancho Hotel, The Club Med N.K.A Royal Decameron Indigo Beach Resort & Spa Resort, the Citadelle, Tap Taps, Jacmel, and Cap Haitian, and have since the 2010 earthquake been restored and revitalized.

Shaving Brush Tree Overview

Pseudobombax ellipticum is a spreading, deciduous tree species in the Malvaceae family. Originating from the Americas this plant produces bottlebrush-like, scented, pink or sometimes white flowers in spring before the leaves. They open from large, cigar-shaped buds and lead onto thick, oval-shaped seed pods with a fluffy interior. They are composed of many stamens, from which pollen is produced. Palm-shaped leaves are red upon emergence, developing to orange-bronze and finally green with age. This plant can provide nice shade.

Ayiti cheri pi bon peyi pase ou nanpwen
Fòk mwen te kite w pou mwen te kap konprann valè w
Fòk mwen te manke w pou m te kap apresye w
Pou m santi vreman tout sa ou te ye pou mwen

Gen bon solèy bon rivyè e bon brevaj
Anba pyebwa ou toujou jwenn bon lonbraj
Gen bon ti van ki bannou bon ti frechè
Ayiti Toma se yon peyi ki mè chè

Lè w lan peyi blan ou gen yon vye frèt ki pa janm bon
E tout lajounen ou oblije ap boule chabon
Ou pakab wè klè otan syèl-la andèy
E pandan si mwa tout pyebwa pa genyen fèy

Lan peyi mwen gen solèy pou bay chalè
Diran lane tout pyebwa ap bay lonbraj
Bon briz de mè toujou soufle sou no plaj
Ayiti Toma se yon peyi ki mè chè
Kon w lan peyi blan ou wè tout figi yon sèl koulè
Lanpwen milatrès bèl marabou, bèl grifonn kreyòl
Ki renmen bèl wòb bon poud e bon odè
Ni bèl jenn nègès ki konn di bon ti pawòl

Lan peyi mwen lè tout bèl moun si la yo
Sòti lan mès ou sòti lan sinema
Se pou gade se pou rete dyòl lolo
A la bon peyi se ti Dayiti Toma!

Lè w lan peyi blan ou pa wè mango ni kòk di tou
Lanpwen sapoti ni bèl kayimit vèt ou vyolèt
Lanpwen zanana ni bèl ti pòm kajou
Ki ban nou bon nwa pou nou fè bon ti tablèt

Ou jwenn zoranj ki soti an Itali
Men qui fennen qui toujou mwatye pouri
An Ayiti sa si bon se koupe dwèt
E sou se rapò nou bay tout peyi payèt

Lè w lan peyi mwen kote ou pase tout lon chemen
Se bonjou kompè e makomè e pitit la yo?
Sa'n pa wè konsa manyen rentre ti bren
Pou'n bwa ti kichoy pou nou jwe de ti kout zo.

Fin bay lan men se rentre lan gran pale
Se politik se movèz sitiyasyon
Sa pou nou fè se pou nou pran li kou l ye
Men bon Dye si bon la ban nou benediksyon

Lè w ou lan peyi blan ou pè promennen nwit tankou jou
Tout moun pè mache prese prese wa di se chen fou
Kote yo prale pouki yap kouri konsa?
Yo pè pèdi tan yo pa janm di: kouman sa?

Lan peyi mwen moun pa rete avek lè
Genyen libète ou gen tan pou pran frechè
Kote ou pase se bonjou se bay lan men
Moun pa janm prese yo koze tout lon chemen

Lè w an Ayiti ou pa janm manke tan pou soufle
Sak pa fèt jodi ou kap fè li demen si ou vle
Kan demen rive kel bon ou kel pa bon
Sa pa fè anyen tout moun konn di bon dye bon.

An Ayiti moun pa janm dezespere
Nou gen la fwa lan yon Dye ki pa janm manti
Nap fè jodi kan demen pa asire
A la bon peyi o mon Dye, se Ayiti!

Chrysopogon zizanioides

Vetiver Grass

Vetiver grass, is Chrysopogon zizanioides, formerly known as Vetiveria zizanioides, is a perennial grass of Andropogoneae tribe of the Poaceae family.  The Andropogoneae tribe also include the infamous corn ( Zea ), lallang ( Imperata ), lemongrass ( Cymbopogon ), Job’s tears ( Coix ), sugarcane ( Sacharum ), sorghum ( Sorghum ), etc.  Thus it is not surprise vetiver resembles lemongrass in many morphological characteristics.  All member of this tribe utilize C4 carbon fixation in photosynthesis.

In its origin Indian Subcontinent,  it is known as khus ( Hindi ), Valo ( Gujarati, Marathi ), Kuruveeru ( Telugu ), Vattiver ( Tamil ), Ramaccham ( Malyalam ), etc.

Vetiver can grow up to 1.5 meters in height and form clumps as wide.  The flowers are brownish-purple.  Its root grow vertically downward, up to 4 meter in depth.  Vetiver is frost and fire resistant, drought tolerant, and can sustain heavy grazing.

Most commercially grown vetiver are sterile.  They propagate via producing small offsets from stems.  Thus they are non-invasive and can be easily controlled.  One widely cultivated non-fertile cultigen is ‘Sunshine’, a genotype named after the town of Sunshine, Louisiana, USA.


Vetiver is widely cultivated in the tropical regions of the world.  The world’s major producers are : Haiti, India, Java and Réunion.   It is grown for many different purposes.  Its vertically grown roots make it an excellent stabilizing hedge for stream banks, terraces, and slopes.  Vetiver attracts pest, such as stem borer ( Chilo partellus ), to lay their eggs on vetiver, instead of on crop.  However, the mainly purpose for vetiver cultivation is for its essential oil distilled from its roots, to be used in perfumery industry.  The leaves, as a by-product, are feed to cattle, goats, sheep and horses.  The roots are also used in traditional medicine, as air freshener, to make ropes, and mixed with mud to make bricks for building houses, and to mark boundary lines.

Île-à-Vache, Haiti's Hidden Paradise 

 

 This is Île-à-Vache (Spanish: Isla Vaca; English: Cow Island) one of Haiti's hidden jewels. It lies in the Baie de Cayes about 6.5 miles off the coast of the country's southwest peninsula, roughly between the City of Les Cayes and Pointe l'Abacou. With its sugar-white beaches, verdant mountains and valleys brimming with tropical vegetation, this beautiful island is considered one of the most peaceful and romantic get-aways in the Caribbean.

With a population of approximately 20,000 people and an untouched ecosystem, Ile-à-Vâche remains one of the rare havens that (so far) does not accommodate cars or other four-wheel motorized vehicles. At a mere 30 minutes ferry ride from the port of Les Cayes, its character hasn’t changed over the years.

The island's modern history goes back to the discovery of Hispaniola in 1492, when it was first known to be Spanish territory, until it was turned to the French after the Ryswick Treaty of 1687 that ended a war between France and Spain. Over the two centuries, it was a place for both Spanish settlers and later the French buccaneers to safely raise their cattles, thus its name Isla Vaca (Spanish) or Ile-à-Vâche in French.

In 1697, the island of Hispaniola was formally divided between Spain and France in the Treaty of Ryswick which ended the Nine Years War. France assumed control of the western half of Hispaniola and named it Saint-Domingue, which later became "The Republic Haiti", the world's first black nation to gain its independence by successfully revolting against French colonization and slavery in 1804.

Constamment caressée par les doux alizés et les flots bleus de la mer des Antilles, cette île minuscule offre un environnement naturel des plus attrayants aux visiteurs désirant se détendre et se recréer a l’abri des tumultes de la grande ville. L’un des grands amiraux de cette période, en l’occurrence le capitaine Henry Morgan (1635-1688) entreprit plusieurs expéditions contre les possessions espagnoles dans les Antilles, l’île-a-Vache fut l’un des ses repaires privilégiés. L’histoire rapporte que de nombreux vaisseaux chargés de butins de toutes sortes auraient sombré dans les environs. Conséquemment plusieurs expéditions eurent lieu au cours des siecles a la recherche d’épaves et de leurs cargaisons.
Aujourd’hui, il n’est pas rare de surprendre quelques visiteurs allongés sur le sable fin avec une énorme coquille de conche (communément appelée Lambi) rivée a leurs oreilles et scrutant l’horizon, a la recherche de quelques échos de l’histoire.

Conan O’Brien Receives Rough Reception In Haiti

Conan O’Brien
Receives Rough Reception In Haiti

Because Of Donald Trump

“Make sure Trump knows that you guys are the ones who have bullied us, and have caused us to be in the state that we’re in.”

By Lee Moran

Conan O’Brien did not receive the warmest of welcomes during his recent trip to Haiti.

Angry locals berated the late-night talk show host and his camera crew while they were filming for the upcoming “Conan Without Borders” episode in the Caribbean country’s capital of Port-au-Prince.

“We’re being told through our interpreter that when Americans come here they only shoot the bad things, which obviously is not what we want to,” said O’Brien, in a preview clip shared online late Wednesday. O’Brien decided to visit Haiti after President Donald Trump reportedly called the country a “shithole.”

O’Brien explained to locals via a translator that the “reason I have come to Haiti is because I and a lot of Americans are angry at what President Trump said, so I wanted to come here and show positive, great beautiful things about Haiti.”

But one woman was not having it:

“Make sure Trump knows that you guys are the ones who have bullied us, and have caused us to be in the state that we’re in,” she added.

All was not lost. O’Brien ended up charming his audience with a speech in Creole - and then further bonded with locals, and the woman, with a Trump-themed joke.

Check out the clip above. “Conan In Haiti” airs Jan. 27.

Haiti Beautiful Places
2017

The beauty of Haiti not shown on television. When it comes to Haiti, the international media always go to the worst area of Haiti giving the country a bad image and scaring potential tourists. Although it is true that Haiti is very poor but there are beautiful places to go, things to do or to see. 
The country is beautiful and has a lot of potential. I predict Haiti will be once again the pearl of the Caribbean in years to come. The problem with Haiti is that it lacks a caring government and investments. Haiti has been brain drained. Most rich and professional Haitians have left Haiti. Hence the Haitian diaspora lacks caring people who are willing to come back and help the country. There are 6 smaller islands belonging to Haiti. All of them with impressive beauty and pristine beaches.

Revived and RavishingNYT Critic’s Pick Broadway, Musical 1 hr. and 30 min.Open Run Circle in the Square, 235 W 50th St. 212-239-6200
By JESSE GREEN   DEC. 3, 2017

I wasn’t expecting the goat in diapers.

Nor did I arrive at Circle in the Square the other night anticipating the panorama of village folk barbecuing on the beach, fishing in the lagoon and going about their daily business in a joyful preshow panorama on the theater’s lozenge-shaped stage.

Had the show never started, I would have been quite content.

But then it did, and all I can say is that after a dismal theatrical fall, in which even the highlights seemed ashen, what a delight it is to enter the world of “Once on This Island.” The musical, first seen on Broadway in 1990, opened on Sunday in a ravishing revival directed by Michael Arden.

You may not know that name, though if you saw Mr. Arden’s reformulated “Spring Awakening” for Deaf West Theater in 2015, you’d remember his signature. It’s a big signature, maximally decorative and triply underlined.

There’s a beach smack in the middle of Broadway, and it might just be the ideal break from the cold outside or the hustle and bustle of the holidays. The new production of Once on This Island at the Circle in the Square theater manages to put that post-vacation sea air swing right back into your step.
