Nice photos. Especially if you like horses.

Mind you, the Carribean is like anywhere - some great stuff, but also some not so great. Curacao is a wonderful place to have checked off your "must visit" list, but it is predominantly an industrial ghetto.

I've had a couple of opportunities to go relatively cheaply to the Caribbean in the past few years, at the end of various work stints in Canada. But I'm not sun and surf type of person and so there is little appeal at all. Went to the Bahamas as an easy look, and that did nothing to encourage me.

Would go for the cricket, but even that's not much these days.

Cuba I do want to do.

Cuba, me too. And the very top end of south America.
