It's always fun on the beach in Martinique, but you'll miss a big part of what makes the island so special if you don't visit her mountains.

Sunday, 5:55pm. Cap Est Lagoon Resort & Spa in Le Francois, Martinique... No better time or place for a dip in the pool.

The delights are as much in the details as in the overall product at Jungle Bay, a most uncommon resort set in a most uncommon corner of the Caribbean.

There are lots of great subjects upon which to train your lens at Nelson's Dockyard in Antigua. My favorite: these curious pillars.

Sunrise at special places like Jungle Bay, Dominica don't care for sleep preferences. They simply demand that you get up and experience them in all their glory.

A teensy-weensy island that's more glorified sandbar than even an itsy-bitsy islet, Sandy Island, Anguilla is truly special and always worthy of another look.

Most people probably think this pic shows the Bathsheba area of Barbados. I would've thought the same before I visited Cayes-Jacmel in southern Haiti last week.
