The First Post: "Dominica's jungled mountains are crisscrossed with rivers, peppered with waterfalls and 'perfect' for hikers of all abilities. From Pointe Baptiste, it's an 'easy' walk to 'the bubbling Boiling Lake, enveloped in a cloud of vapour', and not far to Chaudiere, where two rivers cross and you can bathe in a Jacuzzi-like pool among high rocks, with 'the green lace of the forest looming above'. For the most adventurous, the Waitukubuli National Trail is soon to open, linking the north of the island with the south through a series of 'extraordinary' rainforest treks."
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.
