Anguilla
The island of Anguilla (pronounced ang-GWILL-a) was named for its eel shape and has 33 beautiful white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, extraordinary vistas and a contemporary international style. It also has more gourmet dining choices per acre than New York City. This is quite an accomplishment, considering the entire island is only half the size of Washington, D.C.
Anguilla Hotels
Anguilla is a popular destination spot and has a number of nice hotels including The Anguilla Great House Beach Resort, The Arawak Beach Inn, The Cuisinart Resort & Spa and the Carimar Beach Club.
Cayman Islands
Along with his more famous discoveries, in 1503 Christopher Columbus found the Cayman Islands. He named them Las Tortugas after the vast numbers of sea turtles he sighted. By the time Sir Francis Drake landed in 1585, the name had been changed to Caymanas, a Carib word for crocodile. Within 70 years the islands became a British colony, which we proudly remain.
Bahamas Vacation
Since attaining independence from the UK in 1973, The Bahamas have prospered through tourism and international banking and investment management.
Texas Gulf Fishing
Texas has a coastline along the Gulf of Mexico that extends for about 367 miles, add to that the inland side of barrier islands as well as all the nooks and crannies of the bays of Texas and it is easy to see why saltwater fishing is huge in Texas.
Aruba Condos
Aruba is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Caribbean, is outside of the hurricane belt, and has many lovely condos, hotels and rental properties.
St. Lucia
First inhabited by the peaceful Arawak Indians, the fierce Caribs had controlled St. Lucia for 700 years by the time Juan de Cosa, a little known explorer who traveled with Columbus, first sighted the island in 1499. After that, things got really interesting.
Barbados Vacations
Tourists pour into Barbados from all over the world, drawn by the delightful climate, the big blue sea and brilliant white sandy beaches. Many of them rarely stray far from their hotels and guesthouses, but those who make an effort find a proud island scattered with an impressive range of historic sites and, away from the mostly gently rolling landscape, dramatic scenery in hidden caves, cliffs and gullies.
Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe has been a French possession since 1635. Guadeloupe is an archipelago of nine inhabited islands, including Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, Marie-Galante, La Desirade, Iles des Saintes, Saint-Barthelemy, Iles de la Petite Terre, and Saint Martin (French part of the island of Saint Martin)
Dominica
Dominica, known as The Nature Island of the Caribbean, radiates a sense of serene, ageless beauty. It's a place where people and nature live in harmony, where lush and varied flora and fauna are protected by an extensive natural park system. Home to the first Eastern Caribbean UNESCO World Heritage Site, the island also contains the appropriately named Boiling Lake, the second-largest thermally-active lake in the world.
Curacao Diving
Curacao, while less famous for diving than it's neighbor Bonaire, is as wonderful a choice for a dive based vacation. In many locations, you dive right from the shore, as well as enjoying a lazy day at the beach.
Bonaire Diving
Bonaire's pristine reefs and diverse marine life are unique to the Caribbean. Because the waters around Bonaire have been protected by an actively managed marine park for the past 25 years, Bonaire today ranks amongst the top four best diving destinations in the world. The island's location in the south Caribbean gives it an arid climate with little rain fall; consequently, the waters are exceptionally clear of silt, calm, and diveable year round.
Martinique Vacations
Martinique, colonized by France in 1635, has subsequently remained a French possession except for three brief periods of foreign occupation. The Island is dominated by Mount Pelee, which on 8 May 1902 erupted and completely destroyed the city of Saint Pierre. Today, Martinique is a popular tourist spot.
Puerto Rico Vacations
Puerto Rico. Whether one seeks the old world charm of Old San Juan or the shopping and casinos of New San Juan, stunning beaches and perfect weather or a tropical rain forest, Puerto Rico is the destination. As part of the United States, passports are not needed for Americans, and flights and lodging widely abound.
Saba Island
Saba Island, located East of the US Virgin Islands, is part of the Netherlands Antilles and as such part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Saba is ideal for the traveler looking for a secluded haven, in peaceful and friendly surroundings. Rising steeply from the azure sea, the tiny island in the Caribbean is a magical experience far away from the cares and worries of today's hurried world.
St. Barts
St. Barts is considered by many to be the Caribbean's most beautiful island, with dozens of white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and a green, hilly landscape punctuated by numerous lagoons.
St. Kitts and Nevis
St. Kitts and Nevis, like no other islands in the Caribbean, seem to embody a kind of lush tropical paradise usually associated with the South Pacific.
Saint Martin - Sint Maarten
Saint Martin/Sint Maarten has been shared by the French and the Dutch in a spirit of neighborly cooperation and mutual friendship for almost 350 years.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines
St. Vincent and the Grenadines, situated about one hundred miles west of Barbados, and nestled between St Lucia to the north and Grenada to the south, this string of islands may be physically close together, but vary enormously in character, terrain and appeal.
