  To be honest, I had not heard of this island before spotting it on the New York Times´ list of top destinations for the year. And the reason Saba made it?

  Wow, I knew that Saba has the world´s shortest commercial runway, but watching still, a plane actually land there in this video is pretty hairy! (The Saba part begins around minute 2:48) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kutBIzT78w

  I've been following travel journo Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon for some time now because of her deep knowledge of the Caribbean and her fine writing, and just recently came across this nice little meditation of hers from Saba:
