For my fellow fans of anthropology
Believe it or not there is still a place in the Caribbean where you can find the original inhabitants of the islands. That island is called Dominica and there you will find the amazing Carib Indians. Most of the Carib Indians were killed by the Europeans during colonialization and most that survived assimilated into the new culture of their land.
If you are interested in seeing the real Caribbean in its true glory and all that it once was Dominica is the place for you. It is an ecological haven; it is the most sustainable island in the Caribbean and ranks amongst the top in the world! Dominica is a volcanic island that sports black sand. It has rainforest's, waterfalls, hot springs and rivers. If you are looking to compare it to something recognizable- think Costa Rica, Panama, or Brazil. Kayaking, hiking, river tubing, snorkeling, diving, bird watching and whale watching are amongst the activities you can do on the island.
If you would like to learn more about the Carib Indians (more often referred to as the Kalinago) you can do so at the Kalinago Barana Acute, a facility intended to educate tourists on the Carib Indians, without having them flock to their villages and gawk at them like fish in a fish bowl.
Dominica attracts all kinds of people naturally those seeing adventure, ecotourists, but it also can be an enchanting place for destination weddings and honeymoons.
Although getting to Dominica can sometimes be pricey, hotels on the island have a wide variety of price ranges and there is something for everyone.

Apartments Abroad
A great way to save money while on vacation is to rent a local apartment as opposed to staying in a hotel. Whether you want to travel to Europe, Latin America, South America, Asia, or the Caribbean, an apartment can be rented just about anywhere you would want to go.
Say you want to go to Paris, France- a destination long adored by Americans. The city of lights can be quite expensive as is, even without considering the falling value of the dollar. Many of you may feel that a trip to some of Europe's dream destinations is simply out of your budget, but by choosing an apartment rental over a hotel, it can e possible to stay in the center of the action for a fraction of the cost! Rental apartments also include a full kitchen, so you will get to experience more of the local flavor (while saving money!) by eating in and picking up your baguette, Bordeaux, and brie at the local grocery store.
One word of caution to the Americans, the down side is that many of these apartments will not be air conditioned. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Next time you are traveling abroad, let me know if you'd like to look into a rental apartment! I would be happy to help you find something that meets your needs.
