According to Wikipedia, the infallible source of all knowledge (take it with a grain of salt), Martinique "is an island in the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea, with a land area of 1,128 square kilometres (436 sq mi) and a population of 386,486 inhabitants (as of Jan. 2013).[1] Like Guadeloupe, it is an overseas region of France, consisting of a single overseas department. One of the Windward Islands, it is directly north of St. Lucia, northwest of Barbados, and south of Dominica."
The official language of Martinique is French, but a lot of folks there also speak Antillean Creole. And, of course, Martinique was where the film adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's "To Have and Have Not," starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, was set.
So, Martinique, welcome to the Eff You family. Bring your friends next time, and I look forward to visiting your island in the future.
