I can think of some. <BR>Denmark <BR>Djiibouti (sp?) <BR>Dominican Republic <BR>Deutschland (sp?) <BR>Dominica <BR> <BR>Now you need to tell us why you wanted this. Are you going to try and visit them all. <BR> <BR> <BR>

I recall some riddle where, through a series of math operations, you are forced back to the number 4 (although the subject may not be aware that you know what number they are left with). You are then asked to pick a country that starts with the corresponding letter of the alphabet (eg, 1 is a, 2 is b ...). Most people pick Denmark. <BR> <BR>It also forces you to pick an animal that starts with the next letter of the alphabet. and the common color of that animal. most people pick grey elephants. they may have eagles or egrets or something else selected at 1st , but defalt to elephant when asked for the color. <BR> <BR>So, after a series of math operations and then converting numbers to alphas, people are pretty impressed when you say: So, you came up with grey elephants from denmark, right?

....and this relates to Caribbean travel in what way?

thank you all. This is a bet and, yes, it did come from that math problem where you end up with an elephant in Denmark. But then, the question became, how many countries are there beginning with 'D'. The winner gets an ice cream. And I put it into the Caribbean because most countries with a 'D' seem to reside there.... Thanks!
