Martinique Carnival is a bit unique among West Indian Carnivals. The fete here continues an extra day after it ends in Trinidad and most everywhere else.

We just launched a new online stock photo library! Uncommon Caribbean Images is the first stock photo library completely dedicated to Caribbean travel.

On my last visit to Puerto Rico, just five months post-Maria, I didn't stay long enough to get a sense of the recovery. This trip will be different.

We're about to embark on a weeklong adventure to gauge for ourselves just how things are really coming along in post-Hurricane Irma/Maria St. Thomas and St. John. Should you consider traveling to St. Thomas and St. John, USVI this summer? We'll start getting some answers beginning tomorrow.

While a lot of our trip will be focused on our usual uncommon adventuring, we also plan to explore the state of things in the wake of last summer's destructive hurricanes. Antigua is said to have been largely spared any damage, but sadly the same cannot be said for Barbuda.

Hurricane Irma was a day or so away; Hurricane Maria, just a few weeks beyond that. The lives of so many of our loved ones would soon be forever changed.

If you love The Bahamas half as much as we do, then @VisitTheBahamas Week is a celebration you won't want to miss!

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?
