Manchester Evening News: "THE brightly painted boats of St Lucia say much about this Caribbean island. Some are grand vessels fit for deep waters, others crudely built tubs - but each carries a name lovingly painted on its side revealing a gentle optimism - Patience Is The Key, Give And Take, Respect Life The First. Sun bleached and peeling, piled high with pastel nets, lurching on gentle swells or hauled up on dark volcanic sand beaches."
Forbes, I have been a long time vacation homeowner on Aruba, the tiny Dutch Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela. Only 20 miles long and 6 miles across, the cactus-filled, dry island features my favorite beach in the entire world. Endless days spent on the famed Eagle Beach floating in crystal clear, aquamarine warm waters is why massive throngs of tourists return annually to this island paradise.
