Just about all the islands of the Caribbean have four special “ingredients” that make up a remarkable “commodity”: a mixture of sand, sea, air and, of course, the tropical sun. The combination of these four ingredients make delightful beaches and resort areas.
Whether you are a first time visitor or you've been there often enough to be called a "local", the experience is very pleasant and enjoyable: swimming in the clear, blue-green water with a beach of sand as white and fine as salt; an early morning drive along sandy beaches, fringed with coconut palms—every breath of pollution-free air being a pleasure.
Government officials have come to realize the income potential of this atmosphere, and so have entered enthusiastically into the business of selling tourists the beauties of their country. It is big business in a number of the islands. Even Palm or Prune Island, a mere speck of 110 acres in the Grenadines, has its resort cabanas and airstrip.
So if you are looking for an exciting vacation destination, the Caribbean is a unique experience. From the beauty of high volcanic islands to the low coral islands in the Caribbean. If you want to escape the cold winter then the Caribbean is the ideal place to visit. Familiarize yourself with colonial culture, enjoy the fruits of the islands and get to know the friendly people.
But before you take a "three hour cruise" to your favorite carribean island, let's see how much you know about a few folks, perhaps not much different from you, that took a trip sometime ago to a tropical island.
