    It isn't a country or inside a country. It's a region of the ocean that contains several island countries. It's located southeast of the United States, east of Mexico, and north of South America. Here's a map.

    Trinidad and Tobago. Here is why. There is no other country in the caribbean, and I have been to a few, that you as a visitor can enjoy night life 6 days a week (No parties on Monday). Trinidad: During the day you can visit the Botanical Gardens, in Port-of-Spain, beautiful with all aspects of caribbean plants and flowers. There is also the Pitch lake which is the largest in the world, they say if you wash your face in the water that settle's in the lake it cures acne. Maracus beach may not be the best in the caribbean, but where else can you get a bake/bread and shark with vegetables and a cold beer. Nuff' said. Night time. Well here is where it get's great. You can drive through St. James and hang out, "lime", in the streets drinking beer and eating roti with not a care in the world. Then there are the night clubs, and bars where you can choose based on what type of music you would like to hear, but remember Soca music rules. Tobago: Beaches, sun, local food and a country/beach type atmosphere. This is the place to relax and no one can argue that visiting the reef and swimming in the Nylon pool where you are over a mile in the ocean and the water only reaches you by your waist and the sand under you is pure white. Now that is beauty and a fun week vacation...
