Justin and I intend to find out. I do believe this is my first visit to a place with a cedilla in its spelling.
True to form, and inspired by Fi and Steve's adventurous travel destinations, Jus and I had to plan what we were going to do over our 4 day Thanksgiving holiday. Its not long enough to travel far away or 'do' a place thoroughly, its certainly long enough to get out of town and really unwind, and its bad enough weather at that time of the year to make us flee somewhere warm. And we wanted to go somewhere neither of us had been before. And it had to be cheap once we got there. And this was part of the bargain of living here: visit places that we would not normally consider. Or that I would likely have to visit for work. And it had to have cheap flights on a Oneworld airline and still have accommodation available during the busiest travel time in the US year.
So, Curacao it is. A tinsy Caribbean island in the Netherlands Antilles off the coast of Venezuela famed for its scuba diving. Is this where the liqueur comes from? Not sure. Is this the last time we will be warm until May? Quite possibly. Is this kind of reckless since we haven't even got a permanent place to live yet? Asbolutely! The next blog entry might be entitled 'where the hell are mia and jus gonna live?'

Very flattered to be cited as inspirational travellers! I am envious of the Curacao trip. And not just because of the cedilla.
I think you should embark upon a campaign of visiting the homes of the lesser rated liqueurs. Where is the home of creme de menthe? How does one brew (ferment? compose?) the perfect Tia Maria? So many important questions which need to be answered.
Bon courage!
Fifi.
