These divisions include: (countries we have written about are in italics)

  • North America: Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and the USA.
  • Central America and the Caribbean: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago.
  • South America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela, French Guiana, and the Falkland Islands.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao),  Trinidad and Tobago, and Panama are at times considered part of South America. On Albom Adventures, all Caribbean travel is listed in our second category above.
