I'm assuming for work (unless you're one of those extreme vacation guys ). Did you go feet dry, or stay on the water?
Feet dry. We were delivering "Aid". I actually had an old lady curse the HMMWV I was in. Not "swear at", curse. As in she leaped into the road, cut the head off a live chicken, and painted a symbol in blood on the hood while screaming in...Haitian I guess? Another language anyways.
I heard there were firefights and everything we had given the locals was stolen before the boat hit international waters, but can't confirm that.
I know some of the guys that were there after the earthquake, and they tell stories of the outgoing tides washing bodies out to sea as the gangs used the 'quake as cover to kill folks on their *expletive deleted*it lists.
There's a fair bit of Piracy near that island as well.
Overall, it's a really bad place in a way that's really hard to internalize if you haven't been to one of the world's real shitholes.
Baghdad circa 2009 was better.
