I'm planning on traveling with my girlfriend during the middle of March '01 for about 4-5 nights and am still in search of a destination in the Caribbean. <BR> <BR>- We're not budget travelers, but by no means do we want to break the bank (we're looking to spend $600-$1000 per person w/ air/hotel included). <BR> <BR>- My girlfriend and I are both in our early 20s, but that being said, we do not want Spring Break destinations, i.e., we're not interested in Cancun, Bahamas, Negril...etc. Been there, done that. <BR> <BR>- We're pretty indifferent as to condo versus hotel. <BR> <BR>- Both of us enjoy nice beaches, snorkeling, and other watersports, so the hotel/condo should be on or close to a nice beach. <BR> <BR>- I hadn't planned on renting a car, so somewhere where most everything is close by (or where taxis are cheap) would be a plus. <BR> <BR>- A night or two at a nice restaurant would be great, but we don't plan on making every night a big deal. We're more than happy go to a grocery store and do dinner in the room or go to a small restaurant for dinner one or two nights. <BR> <BR>- I mentioned no "spring break" destinations but, there has to be stuff to do at night. Bars, music, maybe a club would all be great. <BR> <BR>Guess that's it...any help would be greatly appreciated! <BR> <BR>Eric <BR> <BR>

Eric: Try Aruba. You can usually get some good rates by shopping for a package deal either through an airline or travel group. There are many hotels within walking distance of what you're looking for, not to mention right on the beach. Quite a bit to do if you're looking for activity. Your timing is at the end of the busy season so you might find a bargain! Good luck.

March is still high season in many islands-some April 1, or 15th,so do not look for bargins all over. Good luck

CAYMANS. Check it out.

Eric, if you find somewhere in the Carib. <BR>for $1000. pp/air & hotel let me know! <BR>Mid-March is "Spring Break" & it will cost almost $1000 pp (CDN $)just to get there <BR>(from Toronto...where are you?).

MIKE: he's only lookin' for a 4-5 niter. It's do-able.
