- Does the image of sandy white beaches, leaning palm trees, lush undergrowth, water in varying shades of blue and green, footprints in the wet sand, seashells, and seaweed strewn along the beach, and driftwood washed up on the shore beckon you?
- Do you hear the soothing swish of the surf, waves crashing into rocks, the cries of seagulls, swimmers splashing, and book pages turning?
- Do you smell salt water, sunscreen and tanning oil, sweat, rain, the earthy smell of a rainforest, decaying vegetation, and fresh fruit and unique blends of spices?
- Do you taste tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, apricots, bananas, figs, melons, guavas), coconut, and fresh seafood?
- Do you feel the warm sun and hot air, wind tugging at your hair, rough driftwood, warm ocean water sliding over your skin, hot sand, sinking your feet into the sand with each step?
