RSS, where on Mauritius will you be staying, Port Louis?
Just curious, what do your friends do there? Things have changed so much. Tourism, especially from France was a big boom in the late 80's early 90's (Club Med, etc.) but then banking took off as well. I recall they were trying to establish tax free opportunities for certain businesses.
I was an owner of flower plantations and a company that produced real pressed flower cards. We sold the product world-wide. But every time there was a tropical storm the power, phone and all communications went out. We were still communicating by Telex! A phone call was $2.00 per minute when the phones worked. God, I wish there would have been email in those days......
