I have been to:
Barbados, Antigua, Domincan Republic, St Kitts & Nevis, Barbuda Guadeloupe, Dominca, Martinique, St Lucia, St Vincent, That's em all me thinks! They all really nice, I've spent most time in Barbados and the Domincan Republic......Barbados win's hands down. Lovely people, lovely place. Some of the sights are gorgeous too. There was this one cafe just outside Jamestown that we always used to go too.... GO TO BARBADOS! I'd done all of this by the age of 15!

I'd have to say that of all the places I've been, St. John's in the US Virgin Islands is the prettiest. Great beaches, day sailing, and scubaing the finest in the world, even Oz.

Yeah i've been to the Carribean too, lived in good ol Guantanamo Bay for three years. Been to the Bahamas Kings-something [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] The Atlantis was there a really *big* hotel. Watch out for strange taxi drivers though. And if you bring a lady friend make sure she knows how to say no. They like braiding hair. [img]smile.gif[/img] I never got to go Puerto Rico. Cruises in the Carribean are very nice. It's warm, and there's nothing better than taking a map under a palm in white sand. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Do yourself a favor and stay away from GTMO. It's either A: to dry, B: to wet, and there's to many terrorists now anyway.

I don't remember the Statue of Zeus being one of the Seven Wonders... Lets see:
1. Hanging Gardens of Babylon 2. Colossus of Rhodes 3. Tower of Bable 4. The Lighthouse at Alexandria 5. The Great Pyramid Ok I got 5 from memory.... ok I looked it up *sigh* Lere it is. 6. Statue of Zeus 7. Temple of Artemis Wonder why those last two never stuck in my mind? Sio, Im pretty sure all the wonders but the Great Pyramid are gone now.

Er.. Sorry Magik, Tower of Babel was not a wonder of the world!
The one you missed was the Mausoleum at Halicarnassos (modern day Bodrum, Turkey). Sio, it's not there because it was destroyed centuries and centuries ago, no-one knows for sure what happened to it! The fact it was covered in gold didn't help its chances at survival. The only wonders that still exist are the Pyramids at Giza, and the Temple of Artemis at Ephesos, and the latter is in a bit of a state. The Faros lighthouse, Colossus of Rhodes, and Hanging Gardens are gone, location uncertain other than literary references. The Mausoleum is just a foundation, no-one knows for sure what it looked like. You can still visit the Temple of Zeus and marvel at the reliefs, but the statue is no more.
