2. I'm almost ashamed to say it, but Grand Cayman.

I know, I know, playground of the idle, tax-dodging rich. But the only other Caribbean island I have visited was Jamaica. Incredibly beautiful, and the rum was exquisite and as cheap as water. But the locals were a little too pushy, and even a little intimidating in their solicitation of tips.

Grand Cayman was quiet, laid back, and a dream of relaxing solitude.
