Anything like this in the Caribbean? Would this concept work in the Eastern
or ABC's?

My fiance and myself are trying to decide between Puerto Rico or
Dominican Republic for our honeymoon.
we will be travelling from the UK and spending 5 days in New York City
then moving onto the caribbean for some sun, sea and sand.

I was wondering if there is a possibillity to travel through the
Caribbean from Florida by boat, hopping on and off on
various islands along the way?

Hi,  We will be vacationing at the Sunset Jamaica Grande in Ocho Rios at
the end of May.  Has anyone been to this all-inclusive resort?
Opinions?  We also plan on doing the Dunn's River excursion and the Bob
Marley Experience excursion.  Does anyone have any input on their stay

Wow...Aruba is pricey, huh? We are spending 10 days in Bonaire and 4 in
Aruba. We've done some online research and even the cheaper hotels on /near
the beaches are crazy pricey.
We're going in March - any suggestions on condos, apartments, or whatever
