 I had a dream that one day A poor boy from Vieux fort Saint Lucia would rise to new heights of personal success  and land on the shores of good fortunes
 

I had a dream that one day my hard work and sacrifices would pay off  that I would generate adequate cash flow to travel around the world .Today my family and I are BASKING  in Croatia
The Dorman's in beautiful Croatia.... My time on this planet is limited  so I  live for the moment, each and every day to the full
The Dorman's in Ephesus .I love Ephesus why did I hear you asked , Elementary  I cannot leave it or forget it. in my modest opinion, Ephesus is one of the most venerated cities in the world. It's profound religious and historical significance beckons people of all faiths to this ancient  city. In close proximity is nestled the house of the virgin Mary .It is a unique city of spiritual value, crystallized in stone and history. The silent monuments tell the story of great and golden history of human civilization. Christians love it and revere it. Saint Paul commenced his ministry in Ephesus and the Dorman's are here to walked in the foot steps of Saint Paul and to savor the ancient ruins
Camille Dorman and family exploring Paris .In my 15+ years as an ardent traveler  I've seen the best of what the world has to offer  - and now my goal is to share with you some of my travel adventures .
The Dorman's wandering in Barcelona .I first came to Barcelona with wonder woman the alluring Miss Miller .This is my third visit to this vibrant city. I love the allure of Barcelona I love walking along the Rambles Ave and sampling tapas . When time and weather permits you will find me walking on the beach .Because the weather was not conducive for going to the beach my family and I wandered around the center of the city getting lost , taking photos of every thing we deem worthwhile. I spent a great deal of time in search of Gaudi's creations .I have an affinity for his works and designs


I had a dream that one day I would be visiting Rome.I love Rome it's a unique city .   I have become obsessed by the city.    I can not wait to visit again.
The Dorman's exploring Pisa . In 2013 we spent quality time here savoring the Leaning Tower  . It was a vacation but also part of a mission to see as many iconic infrastructure in Europe .  I love Pisa and thinks it’s one of the best destinations in Italy for relaxation and rest .

We had a wonderful time here in  Monaco fortunately the weather was glorious So we explored this magical city on foot


Friends and country men in the immortal words of Martin L. King the great American orator I  to had a dream. Today am exceedingly comfortable to share with you my dream .
3 score and six years ago today I was given up for adoption and as a consequence my synthetic siblings abuse and marginalized me .
Sadly crippled by family rejection , I embarked on a momentous journey to break free from the manacles of poverty and sibling abuse . It was a long and arduous road .In 1978 I sojourned to Chicago with the hopes of jump starting my sedimentary life, instead I found myself in temporary exile at my sister's residence in Chicago . My life in Chicago was a shameless condition .
My siblings had given me a bad cheque (check ) which has come back marked Reject .
Like Dr.King I refused to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt .I refused to accept the silly notion that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults Of America ,the land of opportunity. I was optimistic that the American dream was alive and obtainable .And so in the genesis of my young adult life I came to the realization that going to college was the only means of cashing this cheque that would give me the riches of freedom and respect.....

Dreams do come true if we have the determination and the courage to pursue them  and that is exactly what I did
I followed my crazy ass dreams, studied extra hard and persevered
A good technical education was a stepping stone to my success. Once upon a time I was hopelessly trapped in an abusive sibling relationship in Chicago .Just recently moved to Chicago ,not knowing my way around  this very hazardous Metropolitan city made things more complicated .Where do I go or who do I call upon for assistance I had to do the inevitable stick it out and continue to tolerate just about everything they did to me.
Folks who have never never experienced abuse ,don't understand how a family relationship could be so toxic.....One day with God on my right I was able to pull away from my Nefarious family and go to school


God is good all the time , upon graduation from Coyne I was promoted to Maintenance Supervisor of Elgin Clock Company


I was of the opinion that the  fastest way to land a job, earn a promotion or compete for a raise is through professional development opportunities such as continuing education classes.  So I took a few courses that would enhance my career and make me  more employable


For those of us willing to burn the candle at both ends Dreams do come true
My German sea certificate for crossing the Equatorial Line on board the MS.Brunshoeft










When my siblings turned their backs on me I to turned my back on them , I broke out of my shell and showed them who I am , and what am really made of .  I commenced to follow my dreams and slowly transforming my down trodden life into a thing of beauty.
      I had a dream that if I study hard , stayed focused ,stayed the course , the end result would be sweet success









God bless our humble home
Defending the American way of life
House # 4 not bad for a little boy from Vieuxfort once considered a failure  
I survived sibling abuse and poverty  by reeducating myself . After graduation from Triton College of Nursing ,I worked 3 jobs to make ends meet.
I had it rough 104 hours a week  that was the commencement of a long successful career in Nursing and investing.My friend Miss Miller instilled in me good money management skills .
She taught me how to select Mutual Funds and also how to read a prospectus about a particular fund. In 1986 I purchased my first piece of Real Estate in Chicago.5 years I purchased my second piece of Real Estate in Chicago In 1995 and 2002 I purchased 2 more pieces of Real Estate on the Island of Saint Lucia.
At age 46 I had an estimated net worth of seven figures in Real Estate Properties. Under the auspices of Miss Miller I was able to compile a lucrative stock portfolio.  

Today my friends and I are basking and experiencing Amsterdam in it's glory
Wow what a pleasant surprise with a totally delicious foods . After a long 8 hour flight we were exhausted and hungry ,we went searching for a nice restaurant we  spotted this restaurant we were not disappointed. Really exciting menu . Really great value too. Wine was also fantastic.

I LEFT MY HEART AT THE BEACH IN NICE
Nice a magical city with the most .Vacationing in Nice is a dream come true .  There are many cool things about Nice that appeal to foreigners, and deservedly so, but the French Riviera has a special appeal to me .     
                The abundance of sunshine, the Mediterranean climate and life style, its stunning natural beauty, rich history and the many opportunities for a wide range of outdoor activities, all make the French Riviera an enviable area to live, with a superb quality of life.  I first came to Nice with the bodacious Miss Miller in the late 90's and it was love at first sight    
                  
 




Because B&B'S are good business in the community of Soufriere, plus the fact we are nestled in
the most alluring,tranquil, and historical region in all of Soufriere we deem it fitting to convert our
over size home into a B&B.
Plans call for 12 additional self-contained apartments each having it's own En-suite
