I'm now working on a new bucket list item which is a trip to a small, peaceful, Caribbean island that has no cruise ships, minimal places to stay, but is developed just enough to have a dive shop to rent tanks and possibly boat dives. There seems to be many places that used to be like this. One place is getting a new airport so I assume it won't be secluded for much longer. Part of the problem is that from LAX it will be about two days of traveling to get to most of the prospects with 10 hour layovers at airports I'd never heard of before. I suppose one way to approach it would be to simply stay a few days at each layover spot and leisurely move on to the next step as to avoid stress (which would, of course, be contrary to the whole point of going to such a place). I would love to find a foreign country that doesn't think that everyone who visits wants to be blasted by American rock and roll and day and night--limited electricity might help to reduce or eliminate that. One island boasts that it was a hideaway for rock stars so I'll skip that one Peace, quiet, natural beauty, and some good seafood ought to do it for me. It seems that whenever I try to "get away from it all" everything I'm trying to get away from is in abundance at most places I've been to. My idea of "live music" is a couple of guys with ukuleles and possibly a bongo drum and you nave to seek it out if you want it, not be constantly exposed to it while trying to relax on a beach or in a hammock. For me, paradise is free of the man-made unnecessary noises.
I'm thinking this is going to be a long trip and some of the transportation will likely be time-consuming and by a small boat so it also needs to have fairly inexpensive accommodations etc.. Anyone have any suggestions?
