I know "to have fun" is translated as 'amize you' and 'pran plèzi ou'. But i heard someone used a word for 'have fun', and it sounded like the english word 'distress'. Can u help with that?

must have been the word "distrè", from the French "distraire"

Distrè (a reflexive verb) → to have some fun, to entertain self

After work, I'm going to have a little fun.

In your opinion, if I go to Haiti, what are some places/things I absolutely must see?

Best time to go to Haiti:
Carnival / Mardi-gras time in February. The cities of Port-Au-Prince and Jacmel are bursting with colors, music, dances, food and fun around that time.

Best places to visit:
Haiti's countrysides
Bassin Bleu waterfall near Jacmel
Etang Saumatre (a large lake) near the capital (only if you want to fish and see nature)
La Citadelle in Cap-Haitian (some hiking involved, offers great views of the city)
Musée National in Port-Au-Prince (If it's still standing after the earthquake)

Best things to do:
Sightseeing (enjoy watching colonial-style homes, watching caribbean life) in Petionville, outskirts of Aux Cayes, Jacmel, Arcahaie, Jeremie.
Head for the beaches of Aux Cayes (South), Jacmel (North), or Arcahaie (West)
Hiking in the southern hills of Comble Fort, Terre Rouge, St Jean du Sud, and others
Fishing
Diving

Surfing

Boating

I am not sure in what condition Haiti's forest (Forêt des Pins) is at this time. You might want to check it out too.
Once you leave the capital, Haiti's countryside is just miles after miles of beautiful landscape, beautiful beaches, mostly tropical weather, and lots of smiley faces

It's best to have a native tag along with you, preferably a strong man who can talk his way out of a "jam" if necessary.
