I adore tropical islands with palm trees and coral reefs around them. I went to Belize and Caye Caulker was perfect. I was able to snorkel with nurse sharks and sting rays. The beaches had palm trees and white sand. The year after that my disabled son was born and two years after that my daughter was born. My son is in a wheelchair so it isn't possible for me to any snorkelling anymore. His wheelchair isn't easy to push on sand. Our last trip was to Madeira and the day tour guide showed us a wheelchair space on a beach where there was a wooden board suitable for a wheelchair to go along. It was such a lovely place to visit. Earlier this year we went to a palm fringed beach on Bohol Island. We had also seen a lovely tropical beach in Sri Lanka though the weather was too hot.

I would love visit Madeira. Last year we thought about going there, but we chose a vacation in Germany instead because that was a cheaper option. I would also like to visit some of the Carribean islands.

@LadyDuck I hope we will get the chance to visit Madeira. I don't know much about Sint Maarten, I have only heard the name, but it sounds like an interesting place to visit. I like the idea of two different cultures on the same island.

@Porcospino I loved Sint Maarten (except the scary airport). I know it is still trying to recover after the hurricane Irma, the worst in the century. At least they receive help both from France and the Netherlands.

@LadyDuck Graham is a man that visited every country in the world by land or sea and he wished to go to Cuba on a boat from the USA. Someone took him there illegally. Sorry Cuba is so poor with children looking hungry. It is interesting your brother went there.

@maximax8 I have not visited Cuba, because we needed to go to the United States and they did not appreciate to see a stamp showing you visited CUBA. My brother went there, he told me that what he could not stand was to see so many poor kids and old people in the streets.

@TiarasOceanView I am also fascinated by it. I know that Central America would be a possible location.

You do travel a lot. I love islands too but have only been to the Andaman islands.

@maximax8 Andaman is way better than Goa if you want things to be quieter. Goa provides for an occasional night in town,I suppose but I don't see that in the Andamans.

The most beautiful beaches I've ever seen were in Cozumel, Mexico back in 1996.
