I am looking for any "facts" that are "worth while" to share (WITH ME) of the following islands (or others)?
Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Dominica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Belize, Grenada.
Answer
Of the islands listed here's some quick facts:
1. St. Lucia: is tourist-oriented. Tourist visits tend to be more noticeable during the dry season (January to April). St Lucia tends to be popular due to its tropical weather and scenery and its large number of beaches and resorts. Many people visit as part of a cruise
2. St. Vincent and the Grenadines: the Grenadines have become a favorite of the up-market yachting crowd. Tourism is on the increase and will likely continue. New cruise ship and ferry berths have been introduced thus increasing the number of passenger arrivals.
3. Barbados: Other folks have been detailed in their responses, not much more to add. Very tourist oriented, Lots of resorts and beaches to choose from.
4. Dominica: nicknamed the "Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for its seemingly unspoiled natural beauty. he island features lush mountainous rain forests, home of many very rare plant, animal, and bird species. English is the official language of Dominica BUT a French-based creole dialect, is spoken by many people on the island, especially from the older generation.
5. Monsserrat: Unless you like volcanoes, there's not much to do on this island. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montserrat
6. St. Kitts and Nevis: formerly very tourism dependent, with many small but upmarket hotels and guesthouses in former plantation houses. Cruise ships regularly stop at both islands.
7. Belize: not a Caribbean island. It is the only country in Central America with English as the official language. A combination of natural factorsâclimate, the Belize Barrier Reef, 127 offshore Cayes (islands), excellent fishing, safe waters for boating, scuba diving, and snorkeling, numerous rivers for rafting, and kayaking, various jungle and wildlife reserves of fauna and flora, for hiking, bird watching, and helicopter touring, as well as many Maya ruinsâsupport the thriving tourism and ecotourism industry.
8. Grenada: Conventional beach and water-sports tourism is largely focused in the southwest region around St Georges, the airport and the coastal strip; however, ecotourism is growing in significance. Accomodations range from luxury to small cottage resorts.
hope I helped a little bit.

Where is the best city to live in Texas?
Brock
I am thinking of moving there and was wondering which city I should look at.
Answer
San Antonio, TX

Enjoy your stay, then participate in our survey again. Go to southernliving.com/ readerschoice before 11:59 p.m. CT September 17, 2007, and name your favorite cities, restaurants, inns, and more. Who knows? You may win a luxury golf and spa weekend.
1. San Antonio: Sip and Sample a City
What a great city to taste! Cool a summer day with the Menger Hotel's famous mango ice cream. Sip a Prickly Pear Margarita at Boudro's, a River Walk eatery. Other don't-miss dining spots here include Biga on the Banks, The Lodge Restaurant of Castle Hills, and a local favorite, Los Barrios. On Sunday indulge in brunch at Las Canarias in the Omni La Mansión del Rio. Before leaving town, experience the noon Mariachi Mass at San Jose Mission. Visit www.sanantoniocvb.com, and watch for our story about San Antonio in the upcoming October issue of Southern Living.
2. Austin: A Texas Crossroads and More
One intersection symbolizes this city's lifestyle. At West Sixth and Lamar Boulevard, you'll find Waterloo Records (featuring the latest in Texas music), BookPeople (author signings galore), and Whole Foods Market (store and headquarters). Elsewhere, South Congress Avenue boasts fun shops such as Uncommon Objects and Vivid. Party at Continental Club, sleep in 50s chic at the restored Austin Motel, and enjoy breakfast pancakes at Magnolia Cafe South. Visit www.austintexas.org.
3. Houston: Big City, Cozy Getaway
Houston? Cozy? It certainly feels that way at several boutique hotels. Hotel Indigo Houston at The Galleria changes its artwork, music, and flowers to match the season. Hotel ICON renovated the classic 1911 First Union National Bank Building. Sports fans love the Inn at the Ballpark, a block from Minute Maid Park. At hip, contemporary Hotel Derek, the staff leaves Texas-made candies on your pillow. The more expansive but secluded Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa rises as an urban woodland retreat. Visit www.visithoustontexas.com.
4. Dallas: Wonders of West Village
Visitors and residents mingle outdoors in this neighborhood, between Blackburn Street and McKinney and Cole and Lemmon Avenues. You'll love the sidewalk dining at Tom Tom Asian Grill (try the blackberry mojitos) and the Texas-size sweet treats at Petit Fours, a great place for afternoon tea. For a Western wardrobe, try on boots and hats at Cowboy Cool. Visit www.westvil.com.
5. Fort Worth: Sundance, Moon Glow
Fun in Fort Worth goes on all day into late night. In downtown's Sundance Square, you can shop and dine and then see the stars at Bass Performance Hall. August's bill features Kenny Rankin and Tony Bennett. If Bass Hall is too tame, get rowdy at Billy Bob's Texas, the world's largest honky-tonk down in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. While in the area, treat yourself at Lonesome Dove Western Bistro, where chef/owner Tim Love cooks in his cowboy hat. Save an afternoon for the museums in the Fort Worth Cultural District. Note: the Amon Carter Museum is closed through summer for renovations. Visit www.fortworth.com.
