AWESOME!!!
I planned a family vacation cruise for my twin girls who are graduating from college this year. The Carribbean is our destination. This book was so informative on every island that we will be visiting. Of course pictures are worth a thousand words and this book is full of them. The book is well written and laid out. I plan on sharing this with my adult children before our trip and including it as a carryon for our vacation.
