When I went to school they actually taught geography. We had to be able to point out the states and other countrys and name their capitols. Since then they have changed a lot of the names in other parts of the world but not many in the western hemisphere. We learned to use an atlas.
You are sitting at a computer with all of the information in the world at your fingertips. Why would you waste points asking such a simple question?
To answer your question, the tip of Florida points like a finger at Cuba and beyond to Jamacia. That is the north west part of the Caribean Sea. It is separated from the North Atlantic Ocean by Cuba and the Dominican Republic, which make up the Greater Antilles. OK?
