Booster Shot: 2009 Montserrat Carnival calendar

If you happen to have some time off during the holiday season, and are wondering where you might go for some sweet soca and carnival action.  Why not check out Monserrat Festival 2009?  There's lots going on, on a small picturesque island that most of the word only knows for its active volcano.  My Grand father happens to be from Montserrat, so it holds a special little place in my heart.  Here's some of the action you can look forward to:
