Exploring Anguilla is tremendously rewarding, but sometimes you just need a little me time. As you can see, the Tequila Sunrise Villa pool delivers.

I'm not sure that I ever need to go back to Le Gosier... except maybe to venture to the tiny islet that sits off its shores...

They stand at Jamaica's National Heroes Park all day – deadpan serious, unflinching – exactly like the Royal Guards at Buckingham Palace.

Just a few islets away lie sugar-sand shores the equal of Grace Bay in size and beauty, though with the added bonus of deserted-island adventure.

Rhum Neisson stands out among the already outstanding collection of Martinique rhums for its excellent quality. Bio Esprit takes things to another level.

The Conchi Natural Pool Aruba hike is a good decision to make as long as your intention is to enjoy the pool more than the average visitor!

Sailing in and around the Guadeloupe Islands is always a good idea.

Antigua and Barbuda are just plain beautiful in most every way.

They look like doves to me, silhouetted as they are against the radiant burnt-orange sunset sky.
