Has anyone been to North Caicos?  Just wondering how were the beaches and
were there interesting sites.  Thanks.

I keep reading how crime increased in Mexico lately.  How bad is it?  I'm
specially thinking about kidnapping.  I'm planning a return trip this winter
with my family, been there last here and I didn't feel unsafe once.
Is the crime increase specifically in Mexico city or does it ...

When I go down south, I always get my all inclusive tickets within the
last 10 days or so through online resources such as: "Last Minute Club"
or tripcentral.ca and the like. I have managed so far to get good
prices without too much headache.

hello, i am just starting a search for a villa or large house in the
caribbean that has 5-6 bedrooms.  i am planning a a mini family
reunion.  cost is obviously a factor and i'd like to pay $2000 or so
for the week.  destination is pretty wide open - pretty much any

We hope to camp in St John for a week, over New Years. We stayed in a tent
at Cinnamon Bay in Feb'2000 and loved it. Are looking at a cottage this time
(avoids nighttime donkeys/mongoose raids) but are torn because the tents
were so peaceful/private. We are not partiers, but we do ...

We are a small group considering two resorts in the Mayan for a week in the
middle of Jan/06... The Riu Tequila... and the Bahia Principe Tulum... aside
from the distance from the airport, any comments would be appreciated as to
distance from beach, and facilities.

We are planning on visiting Grand Cayman this Fall and am looking at condos
on the North end of 7-Mile Beach. We are looking at London House, Discovery
Point and Heritage Club
I am up to date on the general conditions on the island having been there

I was just told by a colleage in my company that I racked up more than
$500 cell phone bill in a little more than two weeks in Trinidad
roaming with t-mobile at $2.99 a minute.  At the cut-off day shown on
the phone bill I was still in Trinidad and Tobago so more is expected.

does anyone know if there are buses between the airport and Fort de
France or is it taxi only ?

Have never really thought abt it much in the past
But what would happen if I were out of the USA.... say
Mexico or Caribbean... and had a serious heath
emergency?  Maybe a heart attack, stroke, or burst

Yeah, I know it's not in the Caribbean, but the Bermuda ng's are nothing but
unrelated spam, so forgive the slightly-to-the-north topic. We'll be staying
at the Reefs this October and I was wondering if anyone has stayed there and
what (aside from a large bill) we can expect. ...

       The cruise we are taking stops at St. Maarten. Since we have
been there a few times, we are thinking about a quick trip to St.
Bart's.  The excursion is basically a taxi ride to the ferry, ferry
ride to St. Bart's and then nothing at all until the ride back.

People paid to go to Bermuda then got shanghaied to nova scotia!!!
No apology, no offer of refund. Passengers should have mutinied and
taken the ship.  Royal caribbean sure has some nerve

I recommend Boardwalk Apartments or Sunset Beach Villas. Low key and
VERY special. I commend you for wanting to discover the low key side of
this island. It is NOT all hi rise city...
