Hey guys, i posted on here just over a year ago when i was going 2 travel to martinique alone, first time in the caribbean. Since then i've visited a load! and next week i'm moving there, got a teaching job in a school and very excited! Will probably post asking for more advice later on...
as for the islands i reached: St lucia Martinique Dominica St Vincent Bequia Barbados Antigua Sint Maarten/st martin Anguilla St Kitts not bad eh! |
Part of our "problem" is that we keep going back to STJ over and over...
St. John St. Thomas (only to gain access to STJ) Grand Bahama Bermuda Jamaica Grenada (cruise) Bequia (cruise) Mayreau (cruise) St. Vincent (cruise) Carriacou (cruise) BVI's Tortola/Virgin Gorda/Jost Van Dyke (day trip) So many destinations...so little time! |
Let's see how easy this is to remember:
Hawaiian Islands several times Jamaica Bahama's Antigua St. Lucia Curacao Grand Cayman USVI Bermuda Aruba Nevis & St. Kitts Did I get them all???? Upcoming trips: February - Probably Anguilla April - Tahiti |
Here's my list...
Freeport Bahamas Provodenciales (Turks & Caicos) Dominican Republic Puerto Rico Cozumel Cancun (4) Grand Cayman BVI (Tortola) Aruba Barbados (4) Jamaica (2) Oahu Coronado Island (San Diego...is it really an island??) Manhattan! =) ...and hopefully many more! Peace, Greenie |
I hate to rain on JAGIRL's parade but your question does not focus on a "real" relevant question, in my opinion. Therefore, all I will say is 90% of those islands listed and areas as far as Fiji, Malaysia, South Pacific, etc.we have visited in 38 yrs. of travel.
A specific question that we may be able to focus on, if you have one would be great. I do not mean to be sarcastic, but this is a Forum to gather travelers info on specific areas of the Caribbean. |
And I was having such fun....Thanks JAgirl!! Keep up the fun post...
|
Bermuda-5X- We just keep going back. It has become a family favorite. My side of the family keeps meeting there! :)
Puerto Rico-3X (Going again next spring after 20 years!)Booked my tickets yesterday! Aruba Bahamas-Paradise Island-2X Mexico-(if that counts :) ) Hawaii (Not very caribbean :) ) Grand Cayman-next summer-can't wait! That is all I can think of now. Hopefully many more in the future!!! :) Fun Thread JA Girl!! :) |

stankase ((?))
The relevant question : How many Caribbean islands have you visited to date? 8} No advice sought. I just wanted to know. It's supposed to be a fun thread. And not to worry you didn't rain on my parade. ((#))B-) Looks like almost everybody here has been to the VI and the Bahamas. Funny enough I have never really wanted to visit either place. Now mayhap I ought to add those to my "to do" list :) |
JAGIRL-Thank You!!
This IS a fun post, look how many are participating!! We all help one another on this board and are very supportive of one another. I also sense a "community" within the members of this board, so it is fun to have a thread like this! We all spend many hours a day thinking of the Caribbean, this is our outlet! AND- for the people posting about what island they should go to-looking for "relevant" info-answers can be found here as some islands are popping up on almost everyone's list! |
((*))JAGIRL, please tell me how did you get the coloured letters in the word Caribbean in your original post??? Thanks. :)8-)
Now in alphabetical order: Antigua (1x) > would go back for sure Aruba (2x) > first time enjoyed, 2nd time we didn't due to Aruba becoming very commercialized :( and would go back only if we won a trip Bahamas (very long time ago) (1x) > would go back just to see what it is like now, but not high on our list Cuba, Varadero & Havana (1x) > would go back for sure Dominica Republic, Punta Cana (1x) > would go back for sure Jamaica, Runaway Bay (1x) > would go back for sure Mexico, Cozumel Island (1x) > would go back for sure St. Lucia (1x) > would go back for sure St. Maarten/St.Martin (1x) > would go back, but not high on our list Although these Mexican destinations below are not islands, I thought I would post. Cancun (3x) > would go back, but not high on our list as it is very commercialized now :( and we would rather go further south of Cancun Huatulco (1x) > would go back for sure Mayan Riviera, south of Playa del Carmen(3x) > would go back and still our favourite so far Overall Mexico still remains our favourite destination because it has so much to offer. The ocean and beaches are beautiful and the resorts are very good and there is so much to see and do there and it has lots of culture and history.8-) We like to see new and different places. So many places, so little time and money. :( Wish I could win the lottery.:D |
<font color="red">JAGIRL,</font> don't worry I have my answer on how to do the <font color="green">colours</font> and <b>bold</b> and <u>underline</u>. Thanks.8-)

|
Ok... now someone tell me how to get the colours etc. in the texts??? Please!
