What definitely not to miss in Havana

Eric Marshall Deteriorated though much of it is, what might be the most surprising thing to travelers about Cuba´s capital - still the most beautiful in the Caribbean - is how well-rounded it also is. Especially culturally, with restaurants, cafés, shops and ubiquitous music joined by high-quality museums such as the Museum of Fine Arts, with international as well as Cuban works, divided between a modern facility and the magnificent late-19th-century Centro Asturiano (Asturian social club);…

Chilling on Tortola and Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands

Victor Block My husband Victor and I are travel writers. Which means when we get to a destination, we explore every aspect, constantly seeking out stories. Until we got to Tortola, capital of the British Virgin Islands, with a population around 15,000. That didn’t happen. And it was almost like — dare I say the word? — a vacation. But let’s back up a bit. We are a lot older than our last trip here 30 years ago when my husband had the temerity to actually hazard driving. To put the roads in…

Why not? Look at what we are doing at Hotel Mocking Bird Hill. Just take us as an example. It just needs the will to change along with education of the traveller. The small island states NEED tourism to be green if they are to sustain development.

Thanks for the advice from everyone about Caribbean destinations. We just returned from a seven island sail on the Royal Clipper - a most amazing way to travel the Caribbean. I would recommend it highly to anyone looking for an authentic sailing cruise. A large selection of photos are available on my photo site: http://cpsc.zenfolio.com/2011RoyalClipper
