U.S. Virgin Islands
The three major islands of the U.S Virgin Islands are St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John located just over 1,000 miles southeast of Miami, FL in the eastern Caribbean. All three islands have their own distinct flavor of fun in the sun. St. John is laid back, secluded and is great for natures lovers where you can enjoy some hiking, camping and horseback riding. If visiting St. Thomas they have plenty of short boat trips to experience St. John where you can have a picnic on the beach and snorkel. We did this and it was worth the trip but I found taking a catamaran most people were seasick on the way over. If you’re visiting St. Thomas, this is one of my favorite destinations because of the beautiful views at “Mt Top” and most beaches have you also surrounded by incredible mountain scenery. Everything is here, great restaurants, nightclubs, shopping and some of the best beaches in the world. St Croix is the largest of the three islands and with it’s Danish influences provides a quaint atmosphere. Of course there are beautiful beaches but there’s also great dining and shopping.

Jamaica
This mountainous island is located about 600 hundred miles south of Miami and is the largest English speaking island in the Caribbean. Much if the island rises above 1,000 feet above sea level which provides a lush tropical experience while visiting. The most popular areas on Jamaica to visit are Kinston, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril. While Jamaica is a great place to visit please beware that because it’s still a economically developing country many islanders may approach you to sell something such as crafts they made and unfortunately illegal drugs. To avoid this situation I usually stay at one of the many inclusive resorts such as Sandals or Club Med. Everything is there you need and you can take a tour bus or rent a jeep if you want to explore the island but keep in mind they drive on the left. Visit: www.visitjamaica.com for more information.
Barbados
Although I haven’t spent a lot of time on Barbados the time I have was defiantly memorable. The island is relatively flat and the fine sand beaches are clean, beautiful and all open to the public. Nude sun bathing is against the law in addition to people soliciting there goods. What’s interesting here is as walking along the beach you will find clusters of coral rocks popping up out of the sea creating some amazing ocean views. Depending on what time of year you visit most sides of the island the water is calm and fine to swim but if you’re looking for wild times on the sea and maybe surf go to the north / east coast of the island but it’s not recommended you go alone. Visit: www.barbados.com for more information.
Aruba
Only 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela but I have to warn you wear sun block. Close to the equator which means you can easily burn but the strong winds on Aruba give a false sense as if you’re not getting too much sun. The “Divi Divi” trees which bend at a 45 degree angle because of the constant breeze are a good example of how windy it is here. The best part about a trip to Aruba is the people that live there. Of all the islands and trips I’ve been on Aruba natives are the friendliest. They welcome guests and make everyone feel comfortable, so it’s easy to enjoy your vacation. There are many hotels you can stay along the beach and some have casinos restaurants and nightclubs. If you’re looking for something more laid back there are small hotels with private bungalows further away from the action areas. Visit: www.aruba.com for more information.
Bahamas – Nassau/Paradise Island
What most people are unaware of is that The Bahamas consists of 700 diverse islands in the Caribbean and has an estimated land area of 5,382 square miles. The most well known and most popular being Nassau/Paradise Island. Just a short flight from Florida and if you live on the east coast one of the lesser expensive islands to get to and they have great packages for hotels and airfare. Second only to Aruba, the people of the Bahamas are definitely the friendliest and appreciate your patronage. Great beaches, tons of shopping and if you can spend a little more then you must stay at the Atlantis. One of the best resorts I’ve been to in the Caribbean, with incredible restaurants, nicely decorated rooms, fun entertainment and a magnificent casino. That’s not all, Atlantis has the largest aquarium in the world and you have to check out “The Dig” and enjoy dinner in the restaurant down below. Visit: www.atlantis.com for more information.
