CARIBBEAN VACATIONS ARE FUN AND RELAXING Welcome
to the Caribbean Sea and hundreds of tropical Caribbean Islands some call paradise. As befits heaven-on-earth,
there is much to enjoy, see and do. Beaches, boats,
banks and bikinis are Caribbean vacation essentials.
But the No 1 playground for the Americas also comprises
movie-set beauty, coconut-tree-clad mountains,
verdant valleys of sugar cane and bananas, and
seashore galore. In a more organized approach to
Caribbean islands in the sun, we offer first the
largest tropical island in the western hemisphere,
Cuba; former 'veddy British' and now independent
Jamaica; and further, The Bahamas, Bermuda and
Mexico -- neighbours to the Caribbean
islands. FEATURED CARIBBEAN DESTINATIONS
