'Caribbean' Signature Vacations, Canadian Holidays, Sunquest Vacations, Air Transat Holidays, Conquest Tours -- the names of the com- panies who supply the products available for you in the warm climates of the Caribbean, conjure thoughts of getting away on a vacation/holiday/tour -- away from this cold, damp weather in southern Ontario -- right now! We te Xe Barbados, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, the BVIs (sailing!), the list goes on, and on -- and, how about Cuba, the D.R., and Mexico! The brochure outlining the many offerings for you to travel to for your vacation are three times as thick as they were when we started in this business in 1985 -- they are more like catalogues now! And on top of this, in that time, there is a whole new challenge for you to get to the Caribbean, and that is the many huge floating hotels, called cruise ships, where you can get to see many islands of the south during the same vacation. Wow, quite a decision -- but made easier with the assistance of a good quality pro- fessional travel and cruise official! aa . Ecotourism is the newest and latest buzzword for people going to the islands and more and more people are looking to get inland from the many wonderful beaches. For example, Dominican Republic has the Caribbean's highest mountain, largest lake, and an abundance of rain forests through- out its 21 national parks. Cuba has a similar variety of terrain (we enjoyed horseback riding in the hills -- spectacular sights and views of the land), St. Lucia, featuring the Pitons, twin towering mountains peaks and 19,000 acres of lush mountains and valleys is a must do; damaica has always been known for its variety of offerings in this area -- and some of the smaller islands have spectacular sites as well. See Did You Know Dept.: If you know someone who works at a travel agency, you know this time of year they are very busy, and likely working extra hours, to meet the demand, mostly of the people looking to do the above -- get away from this weather. January and February have been as demanding as we have ever seen it -- thanks to you! + RR Travel Tip of the Week: Com- pounding the 'busyness' for the travel agencies, beyond booking vacations/cruises, are the threats of: 1. shutdowns of airlines; 2. strikes by air carriers; 3. the following 'sale of seats' in each case -- the latter a benefit to you the traveller -- so take advantage, and get on board!
