MarketWatch: "Today marks the official start of Cayman Airways', the national flag carrier of the Cayman Islands, non-stop service from Chicago to Grand Cayman. Cayman Airways' twice weekly flights depart and arrive Wednesdays and Sundays. Just in time for winter, Chicago area residents can be basking in the warm sun of Seven Mile Beach in just four hours, indulging in some of the best cuisine that the Caribbean has to offer, or exploring the depths of the world's most spectacular blue sea. Whether it's spending the holidays in Grand Cayman, or an extended winter weekend getaway on all three islands"
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.
