Cabarete, Dominican Republic: Riding High on Wind and Wave

Cabarete hardly misses a beat, even in a pouring tropical deluge. Arrive by taxi along the main coastal route from Puerto Plata on a mid-summer day, and the route into this ever-lively resort town swiftly becomes crammed with traffic—cars, taxis, the local guaguas (mini-vans that make frequent stops), and of course the Dominican favorite, the motorbike. Creating a non-stop congestion as they enter the center of town, all ply their way at maximum speed through the rain along the two-lane…

St. Maarten

Ahh! Stable ground. Fresh off the Grand Princess cruise ship I took in the salty and humid early morning air as I strolled along the squeaky clean sidewalk at the A.C. Wathey Pier at Pointe Blanche, in Dutch Sint Maarten. Sint Maarten is the world’s smallest land mass that is home to two sovereign nations…Dutch on the south side and French on the north. Sint Maarten is part of the Netherland Antilles, along with Curacoa, Bonaire, Saba, and St. Eustatuis.…

Curacao

Curacao
