How many islands have you visited?
How many ((#)) <font color="lime">Car<font color="orange">ibb<font color="indigo">ean<font color="black"> islands have you visited to date? B-)
Me : only 4 :( St. Lucia Cuba Barbados Haiti & DR</font></font></font></font> |
not so many...
St. John St. Thomas Jost Van Dyke Tortola Puerto Rico Vieques Culebra some were only day trips my favorite is STJ, with JVD a very close second. for different reasons though. On my wish list: DR St.Vincent and the Grenadines Bequia Tortola again (only 2 days the first time) Anguilla and on, and on... |
Oi - let me try and count - but I have to preface by saying this was my parents favorite past time when I was growing up so this isn't all me on my own - but I remember all but one island...
Antigua Barbados Grenada Cancun - not really an island St. Lucia St. Kitts St. Martin Grand Cayman Martinique St. Croix Saba Anguilla Jamaica Trinidad Tobago I think that is it - whew 15 islands...but I only visite Saba and Trinidad on day trips... I am a lucky woman! Or I have my priorities straight - hehehe |
Not NEARLY as many as I would have thought with living on St. Eustatius for 13 years. I guess when you live in the Caribbean full time you prefer to go to Europe and other places for vacation. :)
-Saba -St. Maarten/St. Martin (that's a trip to "the city" for us) :) -St. Barth's -Anguilla -Puerto Rico -Jamiaca -St. Kitts -Landed on Nevis once |
Two actual Caribbean...
Grand Cayman Turks and Caicos The rest of my trips have been to (Hawaii & Mexico). |
I have to figure out how you do the color thing with the words...
St. John Cozumel Aruba Curacao St. Lucia Haiti Guadeloupe Martinique Peter Island Puerto Rico Grand Cayman/Little Cayman Grand Bahama Island (ok not in the Caribbean but it sure felt like it!) Jamaica (in 2 weeks 1/2! yes!) Turks & Caicos (in 9 1/2 weeks! double yes!) :-) |
BTW
I'll count Guyana, Belize and Bermuda as Caribbean Islands. :) shhh...don't tell the locals though! Wow! I'm impressed you guys! :) |
caribtraveler,
Check the "other" forum and you'll see a thread dealing with colours :) |
Thanks! Will do.
You think you're impressed? Wait till Blamona replies to this thread. She'll TRULY impress you. :-) |
Aruba and Anguilla are the only 2 Caribbean islands we've visited (been to a few others in Hawaii, Mexico, Martha's Vineyard) but we plan on continuing!
|
Caribtraveler, I have to answer now! 8-)

Not really Caribbean- Grand Bahama Island Bermuda There are so many more that I want to visit. I especially want to go to Anguilla and some of the southern Caribbean islands (especially St. Lucia and also the Grenadines) |
Puerto Rico
Jamaica St. Thomas St. Croix St. John Tortola Virgin Gorda Jost Van Dyke St. Maarten Norman Island Isla Mujeres Isla Contoy I am only 39, so I hope to hit every one of the Windward and Leewards, in addition to the Bahamian chain. |

bahamas (paradise island) st thomas st john virgin gorda outside of the caribbean: bora bora papeete maui kauai nice (not an island though...) fun thread, jagirl! :) |
JAGIRL: Question for you about Ziggy Marley. I'm curious to know what is generally thought of him in Jamaica.
I just bought his new CD "Love is my religion" to get me in the mood for our upcoming trip to Jamaica... like I really need something to get me in the mood... :-) He's certainly not his dad (but then again, who is?!), but his CD is pretty good. There are a couple of songs on it that I just love. I think it was last year that I bought his brother's CD, Damian Marley. I don't remember being impressed because I listened to it once and it's been sitting there since then. Is Ziggy really popular in Jamaica? Do they think he's good? Better than Damian? And that no one will ever be like Marley Senior (I can't imagine..)? Thanks. |
Only one! X( St. John, but I'm off to a good start! :-d

Ziggy? Damian??? Ziggy who???
Nope...not that popular. The popular ones are the Dancehall DJ's. But I don't really listen to the stuff so mayhap I'm not the best person to answer :) Geez Louise!! You folks should all write a book! :)) And here I was thinking that if you've been to one Caribbean island you've been to them all! :)) Funny enough I live in the Caribbean and have never really had the urge to go traveling within it...;) Where's Tiverton??? |
Not as many as most of you but here is my short list
St. Thomas St. Croix PR Cuba Grand Bahama Island St. Lucia Tortola Antigua Grenada Barbados Ohio Maui Cozumel Isla Mujeres Going to T&C in Feb |

As a travel agent I have been fortunate to be able to visit quite a few islands.
Starting from the north: Bermuda (airport only), Cuba, Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Grand Cayman (on a cruise), Cozumel (on a cruise), Dominican Republic, St. Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, Montserrat, St. Lucia (airport only) and Barbados. |
Forgot about the Bahamas and San Juan (changing planes).

A_Traveler,
Necker Island? Did you happen to stay at Branson's place by any chance? ;) |
Anguilla
Aruba Nassau/Paradise Island Grand Cayman Turks and Caicos Cruise stops only: St. Thomas My list is too short!!! Puerto Rico |
oops..my post should read:
Anguilla Aruba Nassau/Paradise Island Grand Cayman Turks and Caicos Cruise stops only: St. Thomas Puerto Rico My list is too short!! |
My list is WAY too short, but I'm only in my twenties, so there's time to work on it yet :)
Cozumel Grand Cayman Anguilla Antigua St. Lucia St. John St. Thomas Jost Van Dyke Puerto Rico Virgin Gorda |
TO JAGIRL - don't get too impressed. I was on Necker Island for a tour of the facilities a number of years ago - did not stay overnight - memory is hazy but I don't think Branson owned it at that time but nonetheless it was a truly remarkable resort.
|
Short but sweet -
Anguilla Tortola (w/day trips to VG and Jost Van Dyke) Cancun (Cozumel) Curacao Abacos (Elbow cay, Great Guana Cay, Marsh Harbour) Virgin Gorda |
Oh missed one Turks and Caicos
