The diving boys are getting so used to the tourist ships coming in there that they will no longer dm for mere pennies. Although the people of Dominica are very poor, they are not beggars. If you want to help, hire them as guides. I have never met a Caribbean traveler who didn't love Bermuda, d a resort not technically in the Caribbean but included in many Caribbean cruises. May 24 is the official beginning of summer there, and the sea swimming is good then through October. Night-clu- b entertainment, rotatto hotel, is tame hotel from ing but quite pleasant. A nice place to have lunch is the Hotel School in Prospect which serves lunch on Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 1 p.m. at the cost of the materials, for the sake of training their students. You may have dinner there Tuesdays and Thursdays but reservations two months in advance are advised. The most elegant dining in town is at the Penthouse, where dinner is about S7. You will like, too, the Waterfront in Hamilton which overhangs the bay. Practically no regular bicycles are seen any more in Bermuda except for the postman's and young children's. Tourists may not rent the few cars now permitted, but (if over 16) you can tear around on motor bikes. year-roun- N HOW TO SET YOUR FREE SUBSCRIPTION 1 If you do not already receive Bandwagon Magaiina, just fill out the coupon below and send it to us.

There is much American merchandise on the island, and there is no point in buying things you can get cheaper at home. Puerto Rico, 100 miles long and 35 miles wide, is one of the biggest islands in the Caribbean. It is only Z hours from New York nonstop and is thoroughly bilingual (Spanish and English). Now a thriving industrial complex that virtually encourages commuters, Puerto Rico is the place for tourists. One airline, for example, has a economy flight for $104 at certain times of the year, leaving at certain hours of the day. Puerto Rico, of course, uses U.S. currency. A million visitors are expected this year. Almost anything you can get here, you can get there, so don't go overboard in your shopping but look for unique shops such as Martha Sleeper's in Old San Juan this designer was once a actress here. A famous antique shop is Jose Alegria, d just around the corner. tourists and vacationers have found Puerto Rico's facilities for golf, tennis, swimming, and fishing exceptional. One of the very nice things about the Caribbean area is that everybody will take American money, and you can be very sure of a warm welcome because the whole Caribbean economy is geared to the tourist predominantly American, who finds his vacation money well spent. budget-co- nscious 10-d- ay well-kno- Sports-minde- |
