The Caribbean islands are casual, so bring light, comfy clothes: a bathing suit, T-shirt and shorts will be your wardrobe. Add long pants or a dress for nights out. A few essentials:
Books and movies can fuel your Caribbean desires. Think James Bond movies: Dr No as Ursula Andress emerges from the water (Jamaica) or Thunderball s Junkanoo parade (the Bahamas). Pirates of the Caribbean , partly shot on St Vincent, captures the regions exciting past. For literary inspiration: The Firm by John Grisham, about financial shenanigans in the Cayman Islands; The Slave Ship: A Human History by Marcus Rediker, looking at the transportation of 12 million Africans to the US and Caribbean during slavery; and Dan Koeppels Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World , which explores the enormous impact of this ubiquitous fruit.

On Dominica, nature has been as creative and prolific as Picasso in his prime. Much of this volcanic island is blanketed by untamed rainforest that embraces you with the loft and grandeur of a Gothic cathedral. Experiences await that will forever etch themselves into your memory: an intense trek to a bubbling lake, soothing your muscles in hot sulfur springs, getting pummeled by a waterfall, snorkeling in a glass of champagne, swimming up a narrow gorge the list of possible ecoadventures goes on.
In many ways, Dominica is the anti-Caribbean island. It has been spared the mass tourism, in large part because there are very few sandy beaches, no flashy resorts and no direct international flights. The locals are so friendly that they often stop visitors just to wish them a good visit. Just as uniquely, Dominica is also home to about 2200 Caribs, the only pre-Columbian population remaining in the eastern Caribbean.
Temperatures average between 75F (24C) and 86F (30C) year-round, with cooler temperatures in the mountains. There are short bursts of rainfall all year long. February to June, the islands driest months, are the most popular. The rainy season lasts from July to late October, almost coinciding with the Caribbeans hurricane season (peaks in August and September).
Dominicas Carnival celebrations run for two weeks prior to Ash Wednesday. In October, Roseau hosts the World Creole Music Festival. The week leading up to Independence Day (November 3), or Creole Day, is a vibrant celebration of local heritage.
