Jan 11, 2028 - Labadee
Sharing the great island of Hispaniola with the neighboring Dominican Republic, Haiti is a fascinating little nation perhaps more African in spirit than any other in the Caribbean. It also boasts some stunning beaches. Screened by vegetation-draped mountains and accessible only by sea, Labadee's shady tropical sands are the idyllic private setting for a visit dedicated to the pleasures of a beach picnic, with a little market selling local Haitian handicrafts nearby. One can also go sailing, jet-skiing and, for those qualified, snorkeling and diving amid extensive offshore coral reefs.

Jan 14, 2028 - Nassau
You'll recall sunning and strolling on a seemingly endless white sand beach. Or relaxing in the shade of coconut palms. You'll remember the crystal-clear water and the multicolored tropical fish. And you'll certainly recollect the graceful gestures of the uniformed "bobbies" directing traffic in the bustling downtown. Nassau will delight you in many ways. With its colorful Colonial architecture. With the warmth of its people. And with the infectious music of steel drums. It's very likely you'll leave this happy place with lots of duty-free gifts and mementos and at least one straw hat.
