WHAT'S NEW IN THE ISLANDS - Updated October 15, 2008



Escape to the Caribbean
AND THE VACATION ANSWER IS…
ESCAPE TO THE CARIBBEAN
I had just boarded my Air Jamaica flight and even while walking down the aisle to my seat in the middle of the plane I began to relax, really relax. I was on vacation and on my way to the vacation playground in the Caribbean.


Underwater Sightseeing
SCUBA DIVING, SNORKELING
IN THE CARIBBEAN
I stood on the beach at Captain Don’s Habitat on Bonaire starring at the bright turquoise water. Soft rolling waves were beckoning me to come see what lies beneath the sea.



Spas in the Caribbean
ADD A SPA TO YOUR VACATION
As if it were not relaxing enough to be on vacation, especially a vacation in the Caribbean, many of the hotels and resorts across the Caribbean are now adding spa facilities and services that provide an extra opportunity for a slice of nirvana.

Romance Abounds
When you think of the Caribbean, you undoubtedly think romance. Long walks on the beach, a glass of wine while watching sunsets followed by romantic dinners and serenades as the sea kisses the shore.

Caribbean Caters to Kids
My husband was sitting in the den watching football on television. My three children, ages 15, 12 and 8, were all somewhere in the house all doing different things on their own. I was watching the fall wind gather leaves and move them about across our parched lawn.



Cruising the Caribbean
IT’S ALL ABOUT CHOICES
It’s winter and you need to get away to a warm weather destination, but you don’t know where you want to go. We have a group of friends (five or six couples) that live on a lake called Cossayuna. It freezes over in winter and we all need to escape to warmer climates.
