TURKS AND CAICOS – If we’re giving points for convenience, ease of planning, water gorgeousness, and we-know-how-to-roll-out-the-welcome-mat-for-visitors, I’m giving the blue ribbon to T&C.
PLACENCIA, Belize – You’re living a Corona Extra TV commercial, you know, the one with a bottle, palm trees, seagull soundtrack, and crystal sea. Serious bliss.
CURAÇAO – What's the local speciality? Iguana stew. We did not partake. Any surprises? The biting bug population wasn't nearly at the level my wife dreaded. It's worse in Brooklyn.

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica – It's impossible not to relax at Round Hill, one of the most beautiful spots ever. It oozes charm, with an old-world elegance carried over from its early jetsetter days.
