1000% RECOMMEND! We absolutely LOVED our long-at-last-beach-honeymoon (22 years late! LOL). I admit, I was stressing just trying to plan a couples vacation… where to go, where to stay, what to do, where to eat, what airlines to fly, and all the extras… Seriously, I was ready to just stay home. We wanted a kid-free, stress-free vacation that was turning into anything but that! My endless searching brought me to Sandals. At first glance, it seemed a little pricey, but I was ready to pay it just to be stress-free! Best Decision Ever! We had an absolutely blast the entire week~ stress-free, kid-free, fun and sun-filled time. We LOVED the NO-Stress, All-Inclusive, Treated like Royalty, Everything was Taken Care of, Beach Vacation. It had enough relaxation coupled with fun excursions to make Sandals worth every penny!! HIGHLY Recommend! Feel Free to ask questions!
Now these were the countries & territories I visited, during my entire lifetime. They're listed in the order I visted them in, without repeats. Though Martin Island & the ABC Islands were an exception to this. As they're considered part of France & Olanda respectively. Those Islands were visited in 2266 RE (2016 AD). Any Territories featured on the list, will be included after their parent country. Why? Because otherwise you people would be offended, if I stuck strictly to Chronological Order. Nationalist Reader: How could list a territory before it's Parent Country? Are you a Separatist?! Are you in cahoots with Terrorists?
