My be there NOW moment today...


You too?

Did you see this? Cool...

The didn't make it to the Olympics this year, but we still love them!

In case you missed it...

I gave you fair warning so really there is no excuse... but in case you missed Caribbean Travel & Life Magazine's debut on the Travel Channel with a new show "Affordable Caribbean", you're in luck! You can watch them right here! So far, they have featured Barbados, Antigua, and the Bahamas. I just learned that the British Islands, including Tortola & Virgin Gorda, will be on in early October...
Here is a sneak peak... Enjoy!

Such an enticing blend of lush mountains, clear turquoise water, white sand, and good people!

Vintage Fashion Photos @ Half Moon circa 1967

I first learned that these lovely photos and talented photographer thanks to a Twitter post from the Half Moon Resort. If you know me personally, you know I love antiques & vintage... especially anything Vintage Caribbean. So I was thrilled to learn of Mark Mender and his lovely photos from 1967... a time when Caribbean Tourism was fresh and new...




And there's even a You Tube Video showing how the set was staged:

Visit ARUBA.... Now!

Aruba's beaches are the ones copied on postcards sold worldwide. The perfect white sand, peaceful waves, and crystal clear water welcome hundreds of my clients every year. This is where I send my beach lovers who also require plenty of upmarket dining establishments. The beaches are long and welcoming, not small bays that house the beaches of many other Caribbean islands. You can't walk for miles because it is a small island - but you can walk until your legs are tired and you must stop to refuel with a cool beverage.

There are two main beaches, Eagle & Palm. This is Palm Beach:



And this is Eagle Beach:
Palm is where you will find the high rises like the Marriott,
Hyatt, Westin, and Radisson. Eagle Beach is where you find the smaller, boutique hotels like the Manchebo and Bucuti.

And that upmarket cuisine I mentioned? Well, just so you know, I would visit Aruba just to eat. Many of the restaurants are simply that good. My favorites are Madame Janette, Gasparito, and Hosteria Da' Vittorio. Should you be in doubt, the island has a Gastronomic Association to set you on the right path to perfection.

There is plenty of shopping on the island and nightlife in downtown Oranjestad. It is easy to get there from any hotel... jump on the local bus, pay $1 and cruise on down. Safe and easy.

What some say Aruba might lack in true island culture, it certainly makes up for with its great beaches and supreme dining so don't wait, book your trip now! Here are few of the specials I found today:

Radisson Aruba - discounted rates and $100 food and beverage credit.

Renaissance Marina Hotel - 4th night free and 25% off local vendors.

Tamarijn Aruba - reduced rates.

Here's a little video from the Aruba Tourist Board:

Does "Off the Beaten Path" Still Exist?

The answer is yes. While most Caribbean islands have seen surges in traffic in the past 5 years, likely do to increasing costs and safety concerns preventing many people from travelling too far from home, a few islands such as Dominica have not experienced such rapid growth. The result is a splendid, well-preserved island, whose tour companies and hotels are winning awards left and right for their conservation efforts. Not only do the conservation efforts help protect the local environment, but they keep development to a minimum, allowing for a true "Off the Beaten Path" experience. Enjoy!

Meet St. Kitts!

St. Kitts will surprise you. While it offers everything one would want on a Caribbean vacation, it is far from typical. A visit is not complete with a ride on the "sugar train" and a visit to the black sand beaches!

Video Review - Spice Island Beach Resort

The Spice Island Beach Resort in Grenada has always been one of my favorite resorts. Perhaps because there really isn't a hotel of comparable caliber in Grenada... Spice Island stands alone. This might have rung true as the reason a few years ago, but since Hurricane Ivan forced a massive renovation in 2004, the hotel has soared above resorts region wide, raking in dozens of prestigious awards. Spice Island earns my kudos because the renovation supposedly only cost $12 million. As you will see, it was certainly well spent. Enjoy this video:
