FABULOUS FACE-LIFT: BERMUDA Dusting off after seemingly endless renovations, ELBOW BEACH sees a high-tech-meets-New-Age future, with TI dataports in the rooms and "meditation" cottages at the resort's Fritholme spa. |
BEFORE & AFTER: BARBADOS While wintering at VILLA NOVA, British prime minister Anthony Eden played host to his predecessor, Winston Churchill, as well as the odd Royal. Now you, too, can stay in Britain's newest 28-suite plantation house. |
NATURE CALLS: COSTA RICA Canopy tours are all the rage, but the HOTEL VILLABALANCA's version, in the private LOS ANGELES CLOUD FOREST reserve, is literally way above the rest - you can sail through the treetops in a harness hooked to a sturdy cable! For more information, contact our Costa Rica Specialist |
NOBODY GOES TO...YET: CUBA If you're dying to see romantic, crumbling HAVANNA, Kentucky-based Neighborhood Development Corporation offers weeklong federally-approved educational trips to study those glorious old buildings. |
MOVING EXPERIENCE: MEXICO The way to see COPPER CANYON is by train and SOUTH ORIENT EXPRESS already runs the plushest operation around, vintage carriages and all! They planned a longer season with four times the departures, plus, a new route through the Yucatan. |
AMAZING (BUT TRUE): MONTSERAT Although its lava dome grows, the volcano seems to have simmered down and life goes on in the northern "safe zone". The rest is still an eerie moonscape and Antigua-based JENNY'S TOURS will take you there. |
BRING IT HOME: PUERTO RICO Don't miss the fine folk art collection of European work, especially what's in the museum shop. Best Buy? Scare off evil spirits with VEJIGANTES (horned, brightly colored Carnival masks) by local artisan Miguel Caravallo, who'll even make them to order! |
