Patrick found this palm in St. Kitts amid the 400 acres of lush landscaped beds and carefully-tended agri-fields that comprise Belle Mont Farm, one of the most uniquely uncommon hotels in all of the Caribbean.

I'm sure that my future visits to Port-au-Prince, Haiti will include a little more diversity in the dining department. Les Jardins du Mupanah is why.

Notre Dame de l'Assomption, aka: Le Eglise de Terre-de-Haut, stands out among the shops and bars in the commercial corner of Terre-de-Haut.

A good 360 islands, islets, cays, and rocks lay scattered about this extraordinary corner of The Bahamas that is the Exumas, all of them sporting the same crystalline seas.

When it comes to kiteboarding in the Caribbean, certain destinations are a given. To me, though, Antigua wasn't one of them.

Every island has its "No Man's Land;" its wild and remote hardscrabble shoreline where few things grow and even fewer people live. Hams Bay, St. Croix is just such a place.

I have lots of great memories of my last visit to Tulum, the small seaside town nestled just south of Playa del Carmen in Mexico's famed Riviera Maya. Sadly, the beach wasn't one of them.

One of the top dive sites in the Exuma Islands of The Bahamas, Amberjack is a patch reef measuring about 50 feet in length that is ideal for all levels of divers.

One big thing I've missed on my travels to Trinidad is hiking... of any kind... anywhere. I guess, for me, the fete and food have been too nice to allow me to stray too far into the wilds.
