Caribbean Vacations - The Ideal Getaway?
By Declan Vickery
If you are looking for a fantastic getaway, the Caribbean has just about everything you could ever want in a vacation. Sun, sand, warm waters, and friendly people; the Caribbean has it all. Read on and learn why thousands of people make the Caribbean their number-one vacation destination year after year.
Caribbean refers to a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea. Cancun, Cozumel and the Mayan Riviera, in Mexico, are often referred to as part of the region. There is beautiful weather all year round and it's a popular destination for "snowbirds". Snowbird refers to pensioners who like to head to warmer climates in the winter months.
With so many islands in the Caribbean, it's hard to pick exactly where to spend your holiday. Each one has its own unique history and flavor. On many of them you will find ruins that draw you in and make you wonder about past civilizations. The ruins at the Mayan Riviera feature archeological sites dating back to the Mayan era. They will fascinate and inspire you, they are so interesting. Some islands, such as Saint Martin/ Sint Maarten are multi-national. This island has both a French half and a Dutch half to explore.
Guadalupe, a must see, actually consists of two islands: Grand-Terre and Basse-Terre. The culture is Creole which merges African and French traditions. It's a flamboyant place, famous for great beaches, resorts and rum. Visiting Guadeloupe will take you to islands of beaches, modern cities and little out of the mainstream inlets.
St. Thomas is another well known Caribbean Island, known by sailors all over the world as one of the great yacht capitals. You can shop for hours and then return to your own villa or a whole resort. Either way you're in for an exotic treat. The capital of St. Thomas is Charlotte Amalie.
