5 BEST KEPT CARIBBEAN ISLAND SECRETS

The Caribbean islands of Anguilla, Bimini (Bahamas), British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, and Dominican Republic have some "Best-Kept" secrets for vacationers to learn about. Enjoy!

Chain stores, casinos and crowds are missing...yes!

Anguilla is all about small, a tiny eastern Caribbean island encompassing only 35 square miles. There are approximately 13,500 residents and don't expect to find chain stores or restaurants, casinos, or crowds. Brian Major wrote about it, a place where time passes very quickly but "everything seemed to progress in a relaxed, unhurried manner." It is an island where scenes from the "Corey Pearson- CIA Spymaster in the Caribbean" series take place.

Rum Bar on Cooper Island, British Virgin Islands

You like Rum? The Rum Bar in the British Virgin Islands is for you. More and more hotels are starting to celebrate the glory of rum by creating bars tailored around the spirit. That means rums not just from local distilleries but from across the wider Caribbean.

The Cayman Islands don't accept LGBT groups. Despite being a British Overseas Territory, which means residents in many ways are treated as British, including passports, access to the UK and EU, the territory does not have many of the protections for LGBT people.

Just in from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. If you like cruises in the Caribbean, then think of going to Amber Cove, a new port development along the north coast of the Dominican Republic. It is well on track to open as scheduled next month for the first of what is expected to be more than 100 cruise calls a year.

The Great Abaco Highway on Abaco, Bahamas

When flying into the out island of Abaco, the Great Abaco Highway appears like a white strip of ribbon threading its way through green forests. Here's a scene from my spy thriller- "Penumbra Database." If you want a real out island vacation adventure, go to Abaco, Bahamas! Penumbra Database: Episode 1 snippet: Everything was quiet along the Great Abaco Highway (GAH) south of Marsh Harbor, the capital of Abaco, a 120-mile long, boomerang-shaped out island in the Bahamas. The GAH stretches from Walker’s Cay on the northern tip, cuts through the central region where Marsh Harbor lies, then threads its way through heavy forest to the desolate southern end where it abruptly runs into the ocean at a remote village called Sandy Point. Bolan Tougas maneuvered the Ford Expedition SUV in a feeble attempt to avoid a cornucopia of deep...

JIMMY BUFFETT MENTIONED IN SPY SERIES

I'm a Jimmy Buffet fan and mention him off and on in the "Penumbra Database," the first in a series of the Corey Pearson- CIA Spymaster in the Florida Keys and Caribbean spy series . Below is a mention of Jimmy Buckett's past life, when he first started out singing in Key West. A CIA safe house blends in to the homes on Eaton Street. It's a scene from the "Penumbra Database" where General Morrison walks from the safe house to the Turtle Kraal, his favorite eating place in Key West's Historic Seaport District. His counterintelligence (CI) teams protect him along the way: "As Morrison strolled further down Margaret Street toward Harpoon Harry’s, he felt regret for not telling Corey about the San Francisco CBIF safe house. Through the CSS business, he instructed BHH to attempt to breach Cheng’s MIT computer in Cambridge, Massachusetts and to devise new firewalls to patch up any cyber weaknesses in its de...
