After the week's nonstop dancing of Carnival, you will actually need a vacation, but then that's the Caribbean's specialty. Somewhere quiet, perhaps, on a deserted beach, a place to rest and let the ringing in your ears subside with a cocktail and an uninterrupted view over the sea to the sunset. An easygoing life among charming West Indian people, in a setting of startling tropical beauty and gentle reggae music-this is the other side to the Islands.
Every Caribbean traveler has their favorite island; a charmed isle where they feel they belong. You may fall in love with it the moment your feet touch the sand on coming ashore, or it may grow on you gradually, within the heady mix of tropical smells, music, and rum, but you'll know it when you find it. Is there a favorite island? Well, it's a tough choice because people love them all. There are about 50 islands, ranging from tiny coral outcrops to large and lively industrialized nations, and they each have their own distinct charm and appeal. Read on and you'll find out more. But knowing the common culture and the common blessings (sun, sand, sea, and sports) doesn't explain why travellers often love one island above all others. The factors that go into that are as different as the range of human interests and inclinations. Outstanding Characteristics of the Caribbean Islands

If
its February, it's the height of carnival time. A sea of satin costumes shimmers and
sparkles in the tropical sun; masqueraders strut and thrust, swaying at the hip,
midriffs clamped in a conga-line like a massive sequined snake. The noise is
deafening-lose at hand the raucous clanging of steel bands, elsewhere the
thunder of amplified soca drumbeats. Carnival typifies the exuberance of the
Caribbean-the color, the high spirits and the irresistible dancing rhythms. To
be part of it is an amazing experience.
The Caribbean islands are ideal for a little laziness, but after a while you
begin to get the itch for activity. An ideal day would be spent scuba-diving or
windsurfing in the morning, enjoying lunch in the elegance of an old plantation
house, with the afternoon spent walking in the rain forest or exploring a
colonial city. As ever, though, the day ends with dancing in the warm tropical
night, to rhythms of salsa, merengue, and zouk.
