Island Life
T
The Caribbean is the land of “no problem” and, for the most
part, it's just that. Travel here is easy and carefree, and resi-
dents are generally as warm as the weather.
You are, however, entering a different culture, one that has its
own traditions and customs. And, as with travel to any part of
the world these days, there are a few precautions to take to en-
sure that yours is a safe and healthy vacation.
