Sweet 16? Your kids' birthdays are always special, but this one is a little emotional. As reflected in the image, the sun is setting on our time together.

As a proud West Indian, I had plenty of good reasons for wanting to start Uncommon Caribbean eight years ago. The two best ones: my identical twin boys.

If you can’t be on a beach for your special day, looking back at all the shores you’ve sampled in the past 12 months can be it’s own kind of celebration.

Dragon Cay's close proximity to the beach enticed me to trek out to her, if only just to have her sandy shores all to myself for a fleeting stitch in time.

If you've been with us for any extended stretch of time then you already know that UC is much more than a job to me. So, why do it?

Saturday, March 1st marked the 4-year anniversary of the official launch of UncommonCaribbean.com; plus we just surpassed the 20,000 fans mark on Facebook!
