Travel to the Caribbean and discover the turquoise seas and their accompanying palm trees. Each country in the Caribbean has its own flavor: the Bahamas catering to mass-market travelers with megaresorts and the casinos in St. Martin (Sint Maarten), Nassau and Freeport, but treating those in the know to the relaxed pace and remarkable beauty of its so-called "Out Islands" the Cayman Islands and Barbados surprising first-timers with their starched Britishness; Jamaica's friendly, deeply religious populace bursting the rum-and-reggae cliché Martinique offering croissants and café au lait side-by-side with grouper and conch fritters. The differences add spice, but thankfully, the itinerary remains the same: dive, kayak, snorkel, fish, sail, swim, repeat.
