  2. Talk to a good travel agent to get to St. John’s Newfoundland by a US or Canadian airline. The short flight by Air St. Pierre from St. John’s to the main town of St. Pierre is by a smaller aircraft and the seats get filled up with local traffic. E-mail the organizers for additional details after visiting the site http://www.spm-expo.com. Hotel space is also worth booking well ahead of time. The islands use European Euros, but Canadian or US dollars and VISA cards usually work. The isolated quaint French Territory, the French cooking, the French wines, the stamps and the hospitable Perrrais make the trip worth the effort. See you there.
