Are you getting tired of all the snow and rain.  How about those chilly nights, are they starting to piss you off.  I don't know about you but I could go for a vacation.  Somewhere in the islands where the water is clear and I am far away from people and  problems.

Have you heard of Mauritius?  The Republic of Mauritius is a small cluster of island, 3 inhabited islands and several non inhabited, located in the southwestern Indian Ocean off the African Continent.  These inhabited islands are  populated with 1,274,189 people.  When discovered the island was well known as the only island to have the DoDo bird species.  But the species did not last very long.  It was hunted to extinction in less than eighty years.

Mauritius is a island paradise with clear water as far as the eye can see.  The sand is dusty tan and great for individuals that like to walk the beach.  It is also very romantic at night as the sunsets to the east.  Mauritius draws a lot of  honeymooners but is off the beaten patch of many western natives.
