Grand Journey

Known as the `Venice of America,` Fort Lauderdale is to Miami, what poetry is to prose. Despite the two cities being only 30 miles apart, there is a world of difference between them. With its stunning beaches, thriving arts, and culture scene, and picturesque waterways, Fort Lauderdale offers a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. Visitors can soak up the sun on the pristine white sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach, explore the arty, independent boutiques and restaurants along Las Olas Boulevard, or take a scenic boat tour through the city&#39;s intricate network of canals. The city also boasts a diverse range of attractions, including world-class museums, lush parks, and bustling nightlife.

Dive into the waters with one of the largest networks of coral reef in the world. Turks & Caicos has plenty of on-shore activities and places to relax, but the water is where you want to be to get enjoy some of the best diving and snorkeling around. 

Candy-colored houses and sugar-sand beaches give this sweet port town a fairytale appeal. One of the quieter spots on this island, the Samana Peninsula allows easy access to coves and bays straight out of a picture book. Playa Payita, known to the locals as The Little Lagoon, offers aquamarine water to dip into and the shade of bamboo and banana leaf umbrellas to retreat beneath. Playa Fronton, with its coconut palms and backdrop of black rock, is the perfect place to snorkel amid schools of parrotfish, nemos, and sunfish. But the big draw is the humpback whales that visit in winter – there&#39;s even a museum dedicated to the awesome creatures.

Standbys like Christine&#39;s Bakery (serving fresh breads and sticky buns) and Foxy&#39;s (one of the best-known beach bars in the Caribbean) are so humble that they might be overlooked by the uninitiated passerby.

Aruba is a long, narrow island, located just 15 miles from Venezuela&#39;s coast, with a dry and sunny climate year-round.
