Gene, Getting chips from the casino on St. Kitts is not too difficult. Try getting them to open the casino for you on Martinique! As J.B. can attest to, even if you write ahead & make arrangements to meet somebody, getting chips from that island before the casinos open is almost impossible. Each cruise line has an agent on the islands they visit. If you have some pull with the cruise line, you can have them ask their agent to get you chips you need. The casinos in Matinique open for operation at 9:00PM & Brigit Bardot would be turned away at 8:59! Inspector Cluseau might have a better chance!<g>
