Barbados
In its British Empire days, Barbados was known as Little England. It was the first colony to declare war in 1939 and cheered Britons with a cable that read: “Don’t worry. Little England is with you.” Today, the island is independent but still cherishes Anglo-Saxon civility, cricket and high tea. After 350 years of colonization, Britain has left its mark and added much to the beguiling charm of “Little England in the Tropics.”
Cayman Islands
Here is fun in the sun you can take all the way to the hundreds of banks in this offshore tax haven. Comprising three islands and a population just over 30,000, the Cayman Islands were the setting for the hit Tom Cruise film: The Firm. Diving is big in the Caymans. In fact, treasure hunter and expert diver Herbert Humphreys is headquartered in the island capital of George Town.
New Providence, The Bahamas Destination overview
This is the island most visitors erroneously call Nassau. That’s because it is the site of the nation’s capital, named in 1695 for the Dutch Prince of Orange-Nassau after he took over the British throne. Since about two-thirds of the Bahamian population lives on the relatively small island of New Providence, it is the mouse that roars. Recent years have seen millions of dollars invested in Nassau, Cable Beach, & Paradise Island.
Bermuda – Destination features
Dreaming of Bermuda? Think pink and green. Pink for the soft pastel shades that wash this 22-square-mile island, and green for the colour of money that Bermuda’s offshore banking and insurance sectors generate (though in reality the island’s currency is as colourful as its British founders). Bermuda is too far north – 600 miles due East of Cape Hattaras in North Carolina – to be considered geographically part of the Caribbean.
Cozumel, Mexico
Cozumel has been described as a vacation destination with a Mexican heart and a Caribbean soul. Located at the Eastern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula, Cozumel is the largest inhabited island in Mexico and one of the Caribbean’s premier dive spots. With beautiful beaches and an exotic locale, Cozumel is an ideal vacation destination where honeymooners and couples can enjoy breathtaking sunsets, moonlit walks on secluded beaches, crystal clear blue waters and romantic candlelight dinners.
Travel tips for everyone
Protect Yourself
I never travel without a simple rubber door-stop. It can stop intruders in their tracks. It’s inexpensive, light to pack, and gives you the peace of mind to sleep well. The main door to your room usually has a pretty good lock and peephole and sometimes a bar chain. But if there is an adjoining room, that door usually has a fairly flimsy lock. The doorstop is especially useful in those situations.
Another item I never leave home without is a foot-long piece of duct tape, which I wrap around a pencil. It fixes so many things. If a strap on a sandal snaps, a purse handle breaks, it’s duct tape to the rescue.
Wake Up Calls
Carry your own alarm clock or a sports watch with an alarm. Even five star hotels screw up on wake up calls.
Beat Blisters
Foot problems are a painful part of the frequent-flyer lifestye. Long hours of walking in airports, through convention halls or on uneven surfaces like cobblestone streets can lead to blisters. Band-aids often slip off toes and heels, so I pack thin moleskin instead. Buy the soft self-adhesive sheets at a grocery or drugstore, cut them into small squares and keep them in your purse or briefcase. If my shoe starts to rub, I can cover the area right away before it turns into a .
Travel with Kids teens
When traveling to several locations, try to stay at least four or five days in one place, so your teens have a chance to meet other kids, adjust to the area and find their way around the vicinity. Then they get a feeling of orientation and independence. Have them memorize the name of your hotel (or the address of your lodging) and give them a hotel business card to keep in their pocket.
City visits with heavy cultural emphasis can be boring for teens. London is an exception, as there are some wonderfully hip places that both parents and teens will find interesting. Any vacation spot where there aren’t other teens will be unpopular. (Forget the visit to Grandma and Grandpa’s retirement spot in Florida, even if you think the beach is spectacular.)
Many parents find that by the time their kids become teens they are burned out from long road trips and will refuse to do extensive car trips anymore. If your vacation plans include long drives, consider buying or borrowing a small TV and VCR that will plug into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter. Continue reading

Family Travel Tips
Ask these questions when booking a room:

Is there in-room babysitting? How much per hour? What are the qualifications of the sitter? How far in advance do you need to make reservations?
Tips on safe traveling
Crime Action underestimated the true cost of living is much higher than terrorist bombs. Tourists are particularly vulnerable victims of the practice of trafficking, theft, pickpocketing, fraud and violence. It’s what to look for all travelers. In order not to be victims of crime and to stay safe on the road, consider some of these tips:
Pack luggage safely
Safe travel begins, as you pack your bags. Make sure that the bag or backpack you’re wearing a safety lock and is made of solid materials. Avoid the hand bag or backpack striking color that will attract the attention of criminals.
If bright red backpacks, with other dark knapsack, which are stacked on the mind of a thief? Almost certainly bright red backpacks will be targeted first. Also avoid you fill your bag or suitcase, until it is full, because the baggage that “fat” is getting the attention first.
Let the ornaments that do not
Remember, you are not available to attend the festival. Not necessary to wear jewelry. You need to bring electronic devices such as mobile phones, pocket cameras and music players. No need to wear, laptops or other sophisticated equipment that is not really necessary. Continue reading
