Dreaming About Travel: Caribbean

The Caribbean is a region of the Americas that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands, and the surrounding coasts. The region has more than 700 islands, islets, reefs, and cays. This makes the Caribbean a popular destination for cruises and beach resorts. Most of the major cruise lines sail to this destination and also have private islands, such as Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day at CocoCay, Norwegian Cruise Line's Great Stirrup Cay, and Disney Cruise Line's Castaway Cay. Our staff LOVES the Caribbean and the variety of islands that provide a unique experience for each island you visit. Today we are going to highlight three amazing Caribbean islands that you should visit for your next getaway.

The Bahamas

The name “Bahamas” comes from the Spanish words “baja mar”, meaning shallow water or sea. The weather is great year-round so it is the perfect spot to visit any time of the year! Avid snorkelers and scuba divers will love exploring the crystal-clear water and large variety of wildlife. The Bahamas should definitely be on the top of your vacation bucket list if you are looking for a relaxing beach getaway.

Barbados

Another Caribbean island we are dreaming about is the friendly island of Barbados! This island is 21 miles long and a smile (14 miles) wide and full of picture-perfect beach views! There is so much to do, making it the perfect vacation spot for those who looking for a new adventure. Swim with turtles along the west coast of the island, go underground at Harrison's Cave (a limestone cavern), or try windsurfing in the turquoise waters.

Grenada

Enjoy the untouched beauty of this small Caribbean island. If you are looking for stunning views, white sand beaches, and less crowds, this is the perfect spot for you! Spend your vacation in a state of pure relaxation. This island is also a great place for a romantic couples' getaway. One of our staff members got engaged in Grenada!

Dark Sky Week & the Best Places in the World to See the Night Sky

By Amber Humphreys • March 25, 2025

Dark Sky Week is held every year during the week of the new moon in April, and in 2025, it will be held from April 21-28. This week was created to see the true beauty of the night sky by turning off all unnecessary lights worldwide and raising awareness about light pollution. Dark Sky Week was created by highschooler Jennifer Barlow back in 2003, and is recognized by the International Dark-Sky Association, the American Astronomical Society, the Astronomical League, and Sky & Telescope. Barlow wanted to create this week of observance, because she thought it was important to preserve the way that our ancestors saw the night sky and to get rid of any unnecessary lighting that is preventing us from having the same experience.
