Though not technically the Caribbean I think, we are planning on going to Bermuda this year! Can't wait!

Finally decided on Ocean Club West because of all we've read on this site.

I hope we can add it to our favorites when we return.

Thanks "Fodorites"!!

Well, I just moved to Grand Cayman a week ago for work - does that count?

Hoping to get a cruise in sometime this year to some other islands - St. Lucia maybe?

Camelbak, You lucky son-of-a gun. Stop bragging. lol.... The best I can do this year is W Palm Beach,FL in April. Our daughter is having a baby, due 3/13, so we nixed the caribbean this winter...Next year can't come soon enough.

We're doing a cruise in July from Puerto Rico which includes stops in St Thomas, Dominica, St Kitts, St Lucia, Barbados and Antigua.

In the fall, my husband and I will be going to Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica with some friends (our 3rd trip to Jamaica in 4 years)...and I get to go back a month later as part of a wedding party for my brother. My mom and I will be staying at Country Country in Negril on that trip.

End of September we are going to the Riviera Maya, we will be staying at the Iberostar Paraiso Maya,for our first real trip to Mexico.

momkof4, we stayed at the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo (right next door) a few years ago and we loved it!

Ooo - I'm so jealous of so many of you! We've done St. Thomas, St. John, Aruba, Puerto Rico, Vieques...

This year is St. Kitts and Nevis for 9 days @ Thanksgiving. Our kids are in love with the ocean and the Caribbean is becoming there favorite place to visit. =)

My finacee and I are off the St. Lucia for our Honeymoon in June. I can't wait to get there!

Our first trip to the Carribean (and yes I know it isn't in the Carribean) is The Abacos in June 2008. (Carribean to we in the UK is anything vaguely off the US coast your side of the Azores). This is my 40th birthday and it better be good.

I am going Blue Marlin fishing with my two and a half year old - we have spears, a ball of string and a shotgun. oh and some cricket bats it it gets nasty.

Also will try to swim with Dolphins if they will let us (or if the Japanses whaling fleet hasn't caught them all in the name of science.

Not sure about the tipping situation in the islands is it 0.03% like the States or even up to 0.1% ?? better check.

Very worried about the flight from Nassau to Marsh Harbour - the plane seems to have a very large rubber band and paper wings - also worried about the crash and death of a rather famous R&B type star in MHH whilst using one of these rubber band planes - apparently she had too much luggage - something we are pretty good at. (34 nappies per day is heavy)(sorry diapers or whatever you lot call them).

Finally looking forward to 2 whole weeks without sight a 4 wheels and road rage. Renting a 22 foot skiff sounds like bliss.

Will report back.

Jamaica. I haven't been since 2006.
