The misery tour!
I saw this today on Princess cruises, the Ike Experience, an excursion devoted to seeing the devastation and misery of others. What sick asswipe thought of this?
"The Ike Experience"
Grand Turk continues to recover from category 4 Hurricane Ike and this unique tour provides an overview of the aftermath and rebuilding efforts. Board your transportation at the pier and traverse the majority of the island. Your driver will share his experiences, identify the historical remnants, and provide background information on everything that relates to both the hurricane and the social, cultural and heritage influences of Grand Turk. The tour includes a 20-minute stop at the Lighthouse Park with its beautiful views and short trails.
