Okay,
So I am watching Pirates of the Caribbean, again, and look at Wiki to see if some of the locations are real or not. I find out that Tortuga is in fact an island off the north coast of Haiti. Naturally, I want to go there and do some swashbuckling and rum drinking.
I can't find much on the place other than you used to be able to take a flight from Port au Prince, but no longer can. Some sites there is nothing there, no accommodations or restaurants, others say there are a few small mom and pop hotels.
Is there anything there? Anyone been there? How do I get there? Do I want to get there?
Now that I have the thirst for pirate knowledge, any good historical books you could recommend for me on the real pirates of the caribbean?
Now this site says Carnival is putting a cruise port there...
