Ever since k.e.. posted his er... review of Montseratt, I've been doing some Googling of the travel pages and it looks like a thousand bucks will buy you round trip airfare from Chicago in Feburary which is probably the height of the tourist season.
You can rent a beach house on a cliff overlooking the ocean for $45 a night and if you have any spare marbles that have to be moved through a garden hose, that will run you $50-$60. There seems to be sufficient alcohol available on the island and the local constabulary hauls in an occasional thousand marijuana plants from the surrounding mountainsides, which means that there are probably another 9000 they miss, so that's taken care of.
In short, I'm thinking of an Uncommonly Dense February meet-n-greet on the other "Emerald Isle". We could soak up the sun, play in the surf, go snorkling, investigate the night life, race marbles through hoses and maybe on Sunday morning go to church and listen to the one and only Kairos Focus preach live.
Or, we might get lucky and the volcano would blow up the whole island, thus saving us from KF. Either way, it would be a vacation to remember.
