Christmas Without The Snow

Created: Saturday, December 18, 2010

It's Christmas season again and those of us who currently live, or previously lived, in the Northeast know exactly what that means. You can expect lots of snow, ice, shoveling, and frigid cold to go along with your holiday cheer. For the past few years I've either toughed it out in the frozen tundra of NYC or high-tailed it back to the Caribbean to get some sunshine. This year I plan on doing something a little different. Instead of heading back home for my entire vacation I've decided to share myself equally among a few of the islands so none of them gets too jealous. (The map to the left doesn't include St. Vincent and I am trying not to be offended, while also being too lazy to find another one.)


Over the next 9 days I'll be hopping from Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. Maarten/St Martin, Antigua, St. Lucia, Grenada, St. Vincent, and Barbados. There is nothing better than the Caribbean, but experiencing multiple islands in one vacation sure comes close. Most of these islands are known for incredible beaches and snorkeling, two things I love doing, and I plan on getting as much as I can.

Some of the most famous beaches in the world can be found in the Caribbean. They include Magen's Bay in St. Thomas, any of the 365 beaches on Antigua, Orient Bay in St Martin, and Grand Anse beach in Grenada. I've also heard that Snorkeling in Grenada is not to be missed and I certainly don't plan on missing it.

I wish everyone an great holiday season and the best for the new year. Let's all enjoy it.
