Considering a Caribbean vacation? Well, you might have read that the Caribbean islands are all much the same; but that’s only true if you are looking for a packaged cookie cutter holiday with hamburger dinners, pina coladas on manicured beaches, and rows of plastic tanning chairs under neatly pruned palm trees. Which are all great, if that’s what you seek. In which case, any tropical destination will do, it doesn’t have to be in the Caribbean.
In E. M. Foster’s book “Room with a View”, one of the characters says, “We’re in Italy to see Italy, not to meet Italians”. What a shortsighted way to travel?
