Caribbean and Central America

I am traveling from NY to St Maarten, from there to Aruba and then back home.
Tickets are expensive. I was thinking if anyone knows of a cheaper way to go from st maarten to Aruba (may be a boat)?
Also I have one extra day in between without a room....so I have the choice of staying in Maarten and rent a room for extra night or go to Aruba and rent a room there for one night before my actual week. helppppppppp

We have never been to CR and are looking forward to a adventuroust 10 days.

hey guys,

im trying to find an exciting and cheap destination for this summer for about 3 weeks and i am considering the dominican republic.

1. what's the weather like during the summer? ive read that it's monsoon season, so does that mean that it will be too rainy to enjoy it or is it still nice?

2. how is it for a solo woman to backpack there? I've read that men can be very flirty. Any experiences?

Thanks,
Vicki :)

Would like a hotel perfect for my sister and I we are celebrating her 60th birthday and I would like to take her to a suitable Barbados hotel.

Is it easy to travel around and live in the Caribbean ? Me and a friend of mine are interested in going there for at least a few months. I've been looking into islands such as Tobago and Trinidad- as I understand these are the cheaper places to stay??
Is it easy and possible to find a place to stay at all - not a hotel since we're staying for a longer period of time- ? Can you work there? Expensive?

If someone has been there before and have a few tips to give please do!

I have another question about beach safety. Many of the beaches sound perfect, quiet and secluded. what about theft of your stuff while you are in the water swimming or snorkeling? how safe are parked cars for vandalism and theft? We had planned a trip to Bonaire that we had to cancel at the last minute and i had read all the details that you cannot leave anything on the beach and go in the water as it will be taken and that you must leave rental car windows open with nothing inside or they will break the windows and/or take anything left in the car, including sunglasses. Just wondered if Grenada had any of the same issuse

Hi, we are considering Grenada for a family vacation. we prefer to rent a house so we can cook and not eat every meal out. this means the need for renting a car and i've read that the roads are very hard to drive and even dangerous with steep drop offs and winding curves making getting anywhere stressful. also read that no street lights makes driving at night impossible so going out for dinner would be impossible. Does this mean that it really is necessary to stay in a hotel and take taxis everywhere? And if you take a taxi to a beach, how do you leave when you want to as no one will know to come and get you? thanks

Good day! How much the ferry from Orlando to Paradise Island Bahamas?

Hello everyone!
My name is Mariama (or Mimi easier), I'm 24 years old and I have planned to travel in Jamaica between the 11th of July and the 1st of August.
I'm alone and I know that's not a safe place so I'd like to know if someone is interested in a trip around Jamaica with me.
I don't mind the sex or the age. I would prefer to visit the east coast but I'm flexible.
I'm easy going, funny, open minded and easy to get along with. I would love to meet the local population instead of spending my all time in touristic places.
Also, I love Jamaican music so I'd like to go in concert, in sound system..
Feel free to contact me if you have any plans. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers
Mimi

How easy and expensive is it to get from Santo Domingo and Punta Cana, etc. I really don't want to rent a car but could like to know how to get from Santo Domingo and the resorts.
Thanks

This will be my first time visiting st john. My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary and my 40th birthday.  We definitely want seclusion and privacy and are interested in renting a villa. We found one called a home with open arms. It seems like it's exactly what we are looking for except that it's not on the beach. Wondering if that should be a make or break issue. As I mentioned I have never been to st john so im not sure how accessible the beaches are from the location of that villa in particular. Anyone familiar with that villa? Suggestions are completely welcome!
