For Caribbean getaways, find the island that's right for you

The Dallas Morning News: "Vacationers with limited time may want to choose an island accessible by a nonstop flight, such as Jamaica, Puerto Rico or Nassau in the Bahamas. Beach lovers who like out-of-the-way destinations should investigate Anguilla or Antigua and Barbuda. Divers would enjoy Bonaire, the Cayman Islands, St. Eustatius, the British Virgin Islands and the Turks and Caicos.

Naturalists would be happy in Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Barbados and Puerto Rico have great golf courses. Budget-conscious travelers should try the Dominican Republic. Francophiles would like Guadeloupe and Martinique."

The Nation Newspaper | SATURDAY'S CHILD: Come fly with me

The Nation Newspaper SATURDAY'S CHILD: Come fly with me : "I remember going on a Caribbean Star flight from Trinidad, island-hopping my way to Antigua. There was only one bottle of water on the flight and we drank it out on the only 'leg' that was long enough for a 'beverage service'. I remember asking myself if this was owned by a billionaire and all it had on board was one solitary bottle of water, what would have happened if he was a mere millionaire? " There is, of course, the old saying that if you want to become a millionaire you first become a billionaire and then buy an airline. Clearly that is not a mere flight of fancy since Caribbean Star proved that BWIA, Air Jamaica and LIAT were not the only Caribbean airlines that were leaders in losses.
Forbes   I recently spent a week in  Turks and Caicos , my first time out of the country since the pandemic hit. Like many Caribbean countries, Turks and Caicos rely  almost entirely on tourism  to power their economy, so they’re desperate for travelers to return. I’m happy to report that these beautiful beaches felt like an escape from the despair of this global pandemic, and here’s how they are keeping travelers safe.
