 CaribbeanChoice.com has a lot of valuable information. Most of the information is
organized
by country or island when possible, or organized in a major category, such as
Carnival, Recipes,
News, etc. when the information doesn't apply to a specific country.
The best way to find the information you want is to select the country you want from the drop down list
at the top of every page and navigate that way, or select the major category you are interested in. We have also created "Jump Pages" which provide links to content regardless of
country.
For example, to get current weather, you can either navigate to the country and click "Current Weather" or
you can use our handy Current Weather Jump Page 
to get links directly to each county's weather page. Jump pages will
typically be indicated by the icon.
Jump pages usually contain no content, but simply have links that jump you to
the appropriate page with the content.
If you see blue text on the page, most likely it is a link. If it becomes underlined when you hover your mouse over it or if your mouse pointer turns into a little hand, most likely you can click on it and it will take you somewhere.

*Some pages automatically update. Information
that automatically updates, such as news headlines and carnival dates, will not have
an updated icon unless we have added new sections or more categories.
Note: Some of the icons are not in wide-spread use on the site yet. As we add and update pages, you will start to see more and more of these icons throughout the website. Also, links inside articles usually do not have icons next to them.
Many of the icons are QBullets from Matterform Media.
Q. Why are
countries listed here that are not in the Caribbean? I thought this
was a Caribbean site? A. Yes, this site is dedicated to all
things Caribbean. What you may not know is that many countries
around the world are directly related to the Caribbean or have Caribbean
style carnivals. We strive to cover all that's Caribbean, even if it
is not in the Caribbean!
