If someone could put their hands on a list of the Carribean destinations accessible with an expanded US drivers license, that would be helpful. With link. I can't find it so far, but have been working on a couple other angles.
I think it was Amanda (?) who posted that you could sail (cruise ship) to some, but not fly with the EDL. Could someone verify that with a link?
Also, if anyone happens to have info on which of these destinations does not have an extradiction agreement with the U.S. (with link), that would be helpful (maybe that should be p.m.'d for obvious reasons).

No. An EDL is both a driver license and a travel identification document for land and sea travel to return to the U.S. from Canada, Mexico and some countries in the Caribbean.
9. Do the Enhanced documents replace passports, passport cards or NEXUS cards?
Do I need an EDL/ENDID in addition to one of these other documents?
An EDL or ENDID does not replace a passport, passport card or a NEXUS card, but can be used in place of these documents to return to the U.S. from Canada, Mexico and some countries in the Caribbean. Contact your travel agent, your cruise line or the specific countries of destination to verify travel document requirements.
An EDL or ENDID is not acceptable for air travel between these countries.
A U.S. Passport Card is a wallet-size travel document that can only be used to re-enter the United States at land border-crossings or sea ports-of-entry from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. The card provides a less expensive, smaller, and more convenient alternative to the passport book for those who travel frequently to these destinations by land or by sea.
A NEXUS card is also a WHTI-compliant document that is acceptable to travel by land, sea or air between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and some countries in the Caribbean.
An EDL or ENDID is not acceptable for air travel between these countries.
A U.S. passport is acceptable to cross land, sea and air borders in countries worldwide.
What countries, territories and islands are considered part of "the Caribbean" under WHTI?
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (includes St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas) are U.S. possessions. In addition, the U.S. State Department site has a list of the 17 countries, territories and islands that are not U.S. possessions but that are also part of "the Caribbean" under WHTI.
