If people are going to persist with
an American dream, they may as well wake up to some of this. Though the US flag and postal trucks prevail, the commonalities
pretty much stop there. The laid-back vibe and some of the most magnificent coast on earth provide a taste of paradise
and a bit of light relief to millions each year.
Perhaps the most pleasant climatic aspect
of these islands is the combination of the trade winds that keep humidity low, and the Caribbean currents that keep the waters
warm.
