If you're anything like me, the New Year brings new possibilities and a fresh burst of energy. The year is off to a great start with the news that Sandals^® Barbados is opening this month. This is the first Sandals property in Barbados and it's sure to attract both new clients and repeaters. Lately I've been doing a lot of Caribbean coverage for USA Today and two of my recent stories for them appear in this edition of Caribbean Connection: "How to be Part of Carnival in Trinidad" and "Historic Caribbean: Five Forts Worth Visiting." Participating in Trinidad's Carnival a few years back was definitely one of the top travel experiences of my life – I highly recommend it for cultural adventurers. A truly unforgettable experience.
