When you think about a vacation,
what do you think of first? Which
aspects of vacations are important,
which are essential, and which ones
can you take or leave? You be the
judge. You're barefoot, the waves
delight your ankles as they lap upon
the shore. Your heart starts to race
as you reach the top at the end of a
5 mile hike through a rain forest.
You sit tight in silence to capture
a glimpse of a little white tailed
deer. You swim along with a group of
stingrays. You capture the glimpse
of a uncommon, exotic parrot. And
the air, it's so fresh, you can't
help but to observe it. What could
be more natural? You're enjoying the
finest of a Caribbean vacation.
A British Crown Colony situated
nearly in the center of the
Caribbean, there are three Cayman
Islands. The Grand Cayman,
cultivated banking and tourist and
vacation destination, and two
smaller less developed islands;
Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. When
you take a vacation to the Grand
Cayman in the Caribbean, you will
see a beach named Seven Mile Beach.
It is the finest known beach in the
Caribbean and is really 5.5 miles
long. The loveliness of this beach
is maintained by the hallmark
development policy. Not one of the
over 50 hotels and condominiums that
dot the beach rise taller than the
casuarinas trees that line the whole
stretch of powdery sands. The Cayman
Trench that surrounds Grand Cayman
attracts some of the most superior
divers in the world. Known as the
diving Capitol of the Caribbean, the
principal appeal is Stingray City,
where sociable stingrays are
approachable in just 3 to 12 feet of
water. The shallow water means that
you don't have to be a certified
diver to appreciate it. You merely
just fasten upon a snorkel and jump
in. Those of you not familiar with
the latest on Caribbean vacations
now have at least a basic
understanding. But there's more to
come. Another grand attraction for
your vacation is the exotic 180 acre
Brac Parrot Reserve on Cayman Brac,
or the Booby Pond Nature Reserve on
Little Cayman. Both are significant
reserves for birdlife and are as
breathtaking as they are essential.
The Grand Caymans capitol, George
Town, is extensively known as the
shoppers paradise, with goods
offered "tax-free". Additional
examination uncovers a wonderful
mixture of British refinement and
West Indies appeal. You don't wish
to forgo this charming community
while on vacation. Just off the
northern coast of Venezuela you
alight on one of the jewels of the
Caribbean, the brilliant island of
Curacao. A vacation for sun lovers,
this is paradise. Any one of the
Curacao's 38 beaches, from great
strands of little private sun-traps,
is assured to set up for a fantastic
day out. But if there is more on
your agenda than lying around, you
can try windsurfing, water skiing,
fishing, or let go with a round of
golf. On the northern edge of the
island, of particular note to
Eco-tourists, is the 4,500 acre Sint
Cristoffell National Park, comprised
of three previous plantations.
You'll travel via unimaginable
countryside dotted with beautiful
cactus to extend the highest point
in the Leewards at 1,220 feet. Once
at the reserve, begin at the museum
on the grounds of the Landhuis
Savonet property and discover about
the island's geology, flora, and
fauna found no where else in the
Caribbean. If you've dreamed of
genuinely "getting away from it all"
the Caribbean vacation just might be
the answer your searching for. With
the natural loveliness of these
islands, you can have a vacation in
heaven that will be remembered for a
life time. Try not to limit yourself
by refusing to learn the details
about vacations. The more you know,
the easier it will be to focus on
what's important in life.
