[net.travel] guadeloupe vacation

We are taking a vacation in Guadeloupe end of March and would like any
and all information about that tropical (hopefully) island from
experienced travellers. I picked it out of Frommer's and
Birnbaum's (no relation) guides to the Caribbean because it looked,
well, irresistible - French cuisine, Caribbean charm, nice beaches,
some hiking, history, etc.

All responses will be greatly appreciated- either in this newsgroup or to me:

A while ago I asked if anyone had info about Guadeloupe, in the
French Caribbean. I got two replies, one glowing, one pretty negative.
I leave for a week on March 19, and will post my views upon my
return. Let's see if the island is a) charming, nice beaches, warm
people, great food, or b) unfriendly, dingy and tacky, poverty-ridden,
and great food.
