savings.com "Choose a less expensive island. The least expensive Caribbean destination is the Dominican Republic hands down, yet the beaches are just as sparkling and the water and blue as other islands in the region. A close second is Jamaica, and after this, San Juan, Puerto Rico. Finally, great bargains can be found for travelers to Aruba and the Mexican Caribbean beaches of Cancun and Los Cabos.

(If you find the many destinations daunting like I do, use this map of the Caribbean islands to sort them out.)"

I manage to relax and my body tingles with excitement as I take in the warm sea spray on my face and the feeling of weightlessness that comes with swimming with my own Black Beauty."
