Our Caribbean Travels
Welcome Fellow Fantome Travelers
We have been on 13 Caribbean Cruises, 13 island hopping trips, 2 Charter Sailing/Yatch Club School Experiences and 3 Sailing adventures on tall ships and have visited over 40 Caribbean islands, 8 Bahama islands, 3 Exuma Islands, all of the Florida Keys and 8 North and South American countries in our travels.
This page will provide links to information and pictures we have gathered in the tropical and sub tropical beaches, islands and countries we have visited.
You might find some strange tales there, with pictures to back up the stories.
We will answer some of the questions you might have, such as what side of the road to drive on.
We have driven in all possible ways:
- Left Side of Vehicle, Left Side of Road
- Left Side of Vehicle, Right Side of Road
- Right Side of Vehicle, Left Side of Road

Is it safe in the caribbean?
With all of the reports of violence in the caribbean on certain television shows lately, maybe I should answer this question now so you will still have some interest in these pages. The world has become a small place. The caribbean has as many problems with drugs and gangs and, yes, even racial unrest as any place else. There are a very few people on each caribbean island that can cause nightmares for tourists. Like any big city, you should always travel in small groups, especially at night, and never stay on a secluded beach by yourself at night unless you are in an all inclusive or private resort.
Now that I've said that, you will never meet friendlier people anywhere else in the world. The majority of the locals would give you the shirt off of their back if you needed it and are genuinely glad to see you.
If you don't see something you would like to see, come back again. As we get the pictures digitized we will add them to the appropriate pages. If you still don't see what you would like to see, have any questions or would like to let us know what you think of these pages, please E-Mail us. (a convenient mail button can be found on our home page)
Although we like all kinds of music, from jazz to rock, we find Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffet really put us in the mood to take off and go cruising.
Here is a sample of Bob Marley's
Our Changes in Latitudes page has some links to some of this music
