Itinerary
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Juan Ponce de Leon, the historically well-known seeker of the Fountain of Youth, explored and settled this tropical island and then became its first governor in 1508. Above the weathered walls of Old San Juan gleams the family home of the famed Spanish explorer. A grateful Spanish Crown gave the land to de Leon and in 1521 the historic "Casa Blanca" was built. That same year marked the end of de Leon's life. He died dramatically by a poison-tipped arrow and never had the opportunity to live in the mansion which was his reward from King Charles the First.
Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Tortola, the tiny island that starts the long crescent of the Lesser Antilles, is a fragment of Britian, complete with right-hand drive automobiles, High Teas and soft-spoken graciousness to visitors. Wander through the genteel, laid-back Road Town to the Folk Museum, then select one of the marvelous beaches, and enjoy the most un-British eternal sunshine.
Philipsburg, St. Maarten
The half-French, half-Dutch island of St. Maarten embraces you with its Caribbean charm. Sidewalk cafes, open-air markets and white sands fringed with coconut palms await you. Choose a deep-sea fishing excursion, golfing, sailing or a 12-meter world's cup sailboat regatta. On the Dutch side, explore the narrow "steegjes" or lanes, shop for delftware or golf at Mullet Bay Resort. On the French half of the island, Grand Case is known as the Restaurant Capital of the Caribbean, and lovely beaches such as Baie Longue beckon.
Basseterre, St. Kitts
Don't let St. Kitts' diminutive size fool you. Within its scant 65 square miles are found some of the most stunning scenery and interesting historical attractions in the Caribbean. See the 17th century citadel atop Brimstone Hill, sight of endless squabbles between the French and English. Take a catamaran cruise to powdery white-sand beaches. Or join an eco-tour into the rainforest where, with a little bit of luck, you might spy St. Kitts' very own green vermet monkey playing in the jungle canopy. In Basseterre, a mini-London, there's Piccadilly Circus to shop and a gingerbread version of Big Ben by which to check the hour.
Roseau, Dominica
Experience rushing rivers, waterfalls, bright orchids and some of the most dramatic landscapes in the tropics at this incredible port. Take in the wonder of the natural beauty of Emerald Pool, surrounded by a lush rain forest and flower-filled grotto.
Bridgetown, Barbados
Barbados is an island that some say is more British than Britain. Here cricket is the national sport, and afternoon tea at the lovingly restored sugar plantation of Villa Nova or in the charming Andromeda Gardens goes without saying. But Barbados is true blue Caribbean as well, with classic sand beaches and wild monkeys in the jungles. History buffs will enjoy a tour of the Sunbury Great House and Plantation. Nature lovers can take an Ecotour or explore Harrison's Cave. There's even a rum distillery tour and pubhop, and an "In Focus" photography excursion. A very proper time is guaranteed on this very British island.
