Caribbean Islands

So, I love the Caribbean as much as the next person... maybe even a little more? However, if you asked me to name all the islands in el Caribe, I would probably miss like 5,000. I'm sure you've all heard of the famous vacation spots, but make a note of how many of these you haven't heard of...
