babygirl,
Which is your favorite island of the one's that you have visited? Christie |
The top 3:
Jamaica Aruba PR The bottom 3: DR but only for the SD/Boca Chica area St Thomas. Rip off city IMHO These are the only two islands on my list. A third place I would not return to is the Rosarito resort area in Mexico, in the northern Baja area. |
Wow, lots of people love the caribbean as much as me!
St. Kitts x4 Nevis x4 Grenada x2 Nassau x3 Grand Bahama Island White Cay Gun Cay Egg Cay Puerto Rico (too many times to count) St. Maarten St. Thomas x2 St. John x2 Barbados Martinique Roatan x2 Jamaica x6 Cozumel x6 Cancun x4 Grand Cayman x3 Carriacou Tobago Cays Mustique Bequia x2 Palm Island St. Vincent x2 St. Lucia Antigua Mayreau Curacao Isla Mujeres Top three listed at the top, bottom three: Antigua St. Lucia Nassau Still so many places to go! Great thread, thanks! |
I feel so inadequate. :( Maybe we bought our place in St. John too quickly and now we don't go anywhere else. And some of these aren't even very big:
St. John, St. Thomas, Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Marina Cay, Peter Island, Virgin Gorda, Norman Island, Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Hawaii in transit. Ummh, Martha's Vineyard, Machinoc (sp) Island in Lake Michigan, Thousand Islands in New York and Taiwan are also islands. We are looking into the Galapagos for next year. I still have dreams... |
Travelling is so much fun!
I have visited: St. Thomas St. Maarten St. John Bahamas St. Lucia St. Kitts Nevis Curacao (as of 8/26/06) Maui (as of 5/26/07) St. John is, by far, our favorite island. It's like heaven on earth! Although Nevis was gorgeous...amazing! On the flipside...St. Lucia was VERY disappointing for us--just not ready for American tourists yet. |
I counted islands I actually VISITED and STAYED ON.
I didn't count places like Puerto Rico, Barbados, Antigua...placed where we had airport layovers or switched planes. If I included those...I think my list would be about 45 long! |

gregg : LOL! I think that's why I've not been to more Caribbean islands! :)) The thought of taking so much time to <b><i>get there</i></b>...why I might as well go to Europe instead! :D |
I have been to all English speaking island due to my days a youth cricketer. Not yet been to Martinique, Culebra and maybe 5 other smaller island. Never been on a cruise either.
|
For SAnparis:;)
Reminding us all that there <font color="fuchsia"><i>really</i></font> are other islands out there besides St. John! ((#)) B-) |

Fox, I think you'll love Grenada. Have you checked out the www.grenadatravelforum.com yet? I can't help you on the Tobago issues, but I do recall seeing a few posts asking about Tobago vis a vis the BVI on www.traveltalkonline.com on the Southern Caribbean forum.

Aruba
Anguilla Barbados St. Thomas Puerto Rico St. Maarten Nevis (And just made reservations for next March for Parrot Cay in T&C--can't wait!) And, not Caribbean, but close: Bahamas (Nassua, Paradise Island) Bermuda And not an island, but on the Caribbean: Riviera Maya, Playa Del Carmen Mexico |
Just to mix it up a bit, in addition to going to many of the Caribbean Islands mentioned, we've been to the islands off Alaska, Stanton Island, England, Venice, Japan, etc.

I really participate in this forum to get and give information of "real" value to fellow travelers.
So, other than "one-up" or for passing idle time what value do 100+ folks receive from responding to this question. I have asked about Andros Island, Bahamas and 3 resorts on the island and received 1 informative answer of a traveler who was there in the last 12 months.I asked on Lonely Planet and received 3 travelerrs who provided valuable information. So, help me understand, please? |
I do find this forum very helpful - I asked a question here about Barbados and St. Vincent a few weeks ago, and immediately received a number of very useful and informative replies. Conversely, I try to respond whenever someone asks a question about an island or resort that I know. Responding to this question (about how many islands one has visited) is just fun, because you can check for yourself which islands you did visit. Also, as you can tell from this thread, and in that sense it IS useful! there aren't that many people on this forum who visited Andros island, which is probably why you didn't get many replies.
|
Since we're just having fun; in no particular order. All included at least one overnight; some visited multiple times:
Aruba Curacao St. Thomas St. John St. Croix Virgin Gorda (honeymoon) St. Kitts Nevis Puerto Rico Barbados Antigua Grand Cayman Martinique Turks and Caicos (Provo) Anegada George Dog Island (day sail; ended up naming my 1st dog George after it.) St. Martin/St. Maarten (both sides) Anguilla Close enough; was there: Grand Bahama Nassau Cancun Plus, stranded with wife on a dock in Tortola on first night of honeymoon b/c of a connection snafu, but that's a different story (and, yes, we're still happily married). |
Fun is GOOD! I just thought forum was originally designed to ask specific questions
I acknowledge Andros, Bahamas, while the largest of the Bahamian Islands, only has 5-6 resorts and maybe 10 little motel/hotels. But with folks visiting Culebra, Bequi, Harbour Island and Cooper Island, etc., it just seemed surprising to me. Have FUN. |
I am posting in this thread because this is where to people in the know seem to be.
We're going to be returning to San Juan from a cruise on Sat. 11/18. We have rented a Jeep and plan to leave early on Sunday morning, drive through El Yunque, then drive to Fajardo in the afternoon and fly to Vieques for the night. Any suggestions on which airline to use from Fajardo to Vieques, where to stay in Vieques, and which biobay tour to do? I hear that Vieques is a beautiful Island, but we are basically only going for one night to do the biobay tour. After our cruise, we will probably be beached out. Any comments would be appreciated. |
Any suggestions on day excursions would also be greatly appreciated. Our cruise will be stopping at:
St. Thomas St. Maarten Antiqua St. Lucia Barbados Thanks! |
Only a few - Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Maarten & Montserrat. Unless I can count all the Keys or maybe Kelley's Island in Lake Erie...I'm stuck @ 4 for now, & I'll not being adding to the list my next trip in February either.
|
I don't think I can remember all of them but I'll try:
Aruba Jamaica x 4 St. Lucia x 2 St. Martin/St. Maarten St. Croix St. Thomas Grand Cayman Puerto Rico Dominican Republic Martinique Guadeloupe Not in the Caribbean: Nassau Turks & Caicos Bermuda Kauai x 4 Maui The Big Island Oahu Isla Mujueres (? spelling) Cozumel That's all I can think of. Probably missed some. I have so many more to add to that list when I get to them!!! |
This is fun.
Nassau & Paradise Island, Bahamas Grand Cayman Aruba St. Thomas Provo, T&C Cancun & Playa Del Carmen Mexico (although not islands) Trish |
It IS fun, and something I'd never thought much about. For us, it's:
Hawaii, (Oahu and Maui) Bahamas (Nassau, Grand Bahama Island, Paradise Island) Cozumel (does that count?!) :) Puerto Rico Vieques St. Thomas St. John (moored overnight and swam) Tortola Virgin Gorda Those in my dreams--too numerous to mention! JAGIRL, thanks for the fun post! Bluewater63, for best results, start a new thread with your question. It fell between the cracks on this thread! If you're not "bent" on travel to Vieques, I'd suggest a drive down to Ponce, over to La Parquera (where there is also a bioluminesent bay), a visit to San German, founded in 1507, up to the surf mecca of Rincon, over to Moca, where there is a museum dedicated to handmade mundillo lace (fascinating to watch)--and back to San Juan area along the north shore. My daughter and I recently did this tour of the western side and it was SUCH fun. Less American influence, more typical Puerto Rican. We spent 2 nights, but it could be done in one. We also did some hiking in Guanica dry forest, west of Ponce. LOVED the Ponce Hilton resort. The Castillo Serrillos (sp?) in Ponce is fascinating as well--home of the Serrilles family of Don Q rum fame. |
Oops, forgot Bocas del Toro, off the east coast of Panama--loved it there. Visit 3 of the islands in the archapeligo. My list is looking more respectable all the time! LOL!
