The Cayman Islands enjoy one of the highest per capita income levels in the world, and the prices on the island are reflected in that. A three star hotel will set you back upwards of $200 a night in the busy season. If there are budget accommodations available, I wasn’t able to find them.

Culebra, Puerto Rico

Originally called Passage Island, this 7-mile by 4-mile island was first inhabited by the Taíno and Caribe Indians. They gave way to the pirates that used these waters as a refuge. The Spaniards ousted the pirates when the land was colonized in 1879. This is the last portion of Puerto Rico colonized by the Spaniards.

Culebra is still a refuge, but instead of protecting pirates, it is now part of the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses part of Culebra and 23 adjacent islands (like Isla Culebrita and Cayo Luis Peña). The refuge, one of the oldest under the US Fishing and Wildlife Service, is well known as a nesting site for a variety of seabirds, and preserves important habitat for endangered sea turtles and the Culebra anole. Two last words about Culebra: Flamenco Beach. One of the best beaches in the world.

St. Barts

It is widely believed that St. Barts was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, and he named it in honor of his brother Bartolomeo. In the mid-1600s, the French arrived, took control from the indigenous indians, and built small settlements.

In 1784 it was sold (traded) to Sweden, and even though the French bought it back in 1878, some Swedish influences remain, including the name of the its capital, Gustavia.

The island is part of the French overseas department of Guadeloupe, and the French influence and style are everywhere.

It is considered by many to be the Caribbean's most beautiful island, with dozens of white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and a green, hilly landscape punctuated by numerous lagoons.

St. Barts is definitely upscale, and a favorite of the rich and famous. The island is chic and simply stunning. Gustavia, a duty-free port, is a picturesque place of red-roofed buildings, boutiques, a yacht-filled harbor, and a very relaxed lifestyle.

The St. Bart's pages and maps are currently being revised, however you can read a bit more about it

Aruba

One of the most beautiful things about Aruba is its beaches. The hotels are located on a beautiful white sand beach that stretches over 7 miles from the edge of Oranjestead to the western most point of the island. Virtually any kind of water sports can be enjoyed, but Aruba is known for its wind surfing. Aruba hosts a major international wind surfing competition annually which draws contestants from around the world.

Naturally, when you put a beautiful beach under a magnificent setting Sun you get an unforgettable picture. Aruba's sunsets are wonderful. Mind you, not all are as perfect as the one at right, but you won't be disappointed. One of our annual activities is to buy several kilos of prawns, steam them and head off to the beach with a couple bottles of wine to enjoy the setting Sun. Tell me ... what could be better than sitting on the beach with your honey, enjoying a wonderful shrimp cocktail, a cool glass of wine and watching the Sun disappear below the horizon

The Latin-American population has inspired affected the area, and the diversity of the people is apparent in the various ethnic neighborhoods, food and music. Each meal can be a new adventure. The restaurants along the strip are top notch. State Hwy A1A, behind Ocean Drive, has fair food as well. It's worth the walk to check it out. Many places stay open late to cater to the party crowd. And don't worry - there's a Starbucks at the end of Ocean Drive.
