Wow what an extensive list of Islands.

I have not been to the carribean at all and want to spend my B'day there in Oct with another Libra. A good 2 weeks if possible.

Where do I start!! I seem to have no clue.

I want to just relax, read, swim, snorkel (can't dive) and try some local cuisine. Maybe a little partying at nite but not really my scence.

ANy recommendations folks!

Try OLD PROVIDENCE. it´s 50 miles north of San Andres Island (Colombia... yes!!!! COLOMBIA). I have a thread Called "A Little paradise in the middle of the Caribbean: Old PRovidence", in the South America Travel. I live there. Its 26 km2. It has an 18 km long road around the island. Its a volcanic island with nice hiking mountains. Snorkelling is great (diving is great, but you said no diving). It´s the third greatest Coral Reef in the world after Australia and Belize and accoring to biologists I´ve met there, it is the healthiest Coral Reef in the Caribbean. I´ve been living there for the last year. My wife is an Islander. The local cuisine is fantastic. The culture is great, the beaches are NOT crowded and you can really get a great time for yourself. You can also practice windsurf (there´s a new school in the island) and do some horseback riding. Check out the thread.

Just got back from a 3.5 week stay in Jamaica, studying the fascinating religion of the Rastas. It was my first Caribbean trip and, beautiful as it was, probably my last for a while. Give me something a little more foreign first. Great place, though, and friendly people.

St. Lucia is the best to visit..I know an online directory and Search Engine which is basically Caribbean based directory only and it will really help you to find the place of accommodation and places of tourist interest there. You must go through it and you will enjoy your trip there.

Belize: Caye Caulker, Laughingbird Caye, Silk Caye

Honduras: Utila
