Let's go to St. Maarten.....

Where should I not book a caribbean vaction this winter after Frances
is done?
(besides florida)
?

 I had booked a trip to Nassau for next week way back before we knew a
hurricane was going to pass over the Bahamas. Now I'm wondering if anyone on
this newsgroup happens to know what kind of shape Nassau is in post-Frances?
Should I just cancel the trip and go elsewhere? Can you ...

Does the Cayman Islands still turn away gay cruises?

Curious, is there a general anti-Bush sentiment in
the Caribbean and all points south?  I assume
that is does not effect American and Canadian
tourists. Some times we are taken to be "American".

I have read that one should get to the Aruba airport at least 3 to 3 1
/2 hours before the departing flight. People say it takes so long to go
through customs and security.  We are leaving there on a Friday 5 pm .
in October. Does anyone have any info on this claim?

I'm thinking of travelling to St.Kitts this fall and I was wondering
if anyone could provide any tips for finding cheap flights to St.Kitts
from Toronto.
Thanks

We're planning a cancun all-inclusive for the whole family.
Can anyone make a suggestion on a travel agent or best site to book a
vacation at Kentenah Palladium in Cancun? Are there any wholesalers or sites
that can get better deals than others?

Found this on a news release website. Thought it might be
interesting. I am assuming this clause would also kick in for
earthquakes, floods, tornadoes and possible fires.

Does anyone know of a source for historic hurrican data / dates? What is the
likelihood of hurricane in early November?

I just found this other cruise board website, and thought maybe you
would like to check it out.  They have message boards, just like this
one, with very friendly people, and lots of cool things.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Mexico in either February or March
2005.  We are considering Club Med in Cancun.  The reasons why we are
considering the resort are mainly for the sport activities (eg
windsurfing et al) and food which is suppose to good at any Club Med.

Comments from any one who has been to Galley Bay?
