Consider Grenada, which, like Barbados, is generally out of the hurricane belt (very much a factor for an August trip). While the beaches are lovely, the island is blessed with so many natural wonders that you can fill your days without ever setting foot on the beach. <BR> <BR>There are crater lakes, mountains, rain forests, waterfalls, and sulfur springs. You can tour a nutmeg plantation, a cocoa factory or a rum distillery. Visit the main town, St. George, one of the most attractive harbours in the Caribbean. The local cuisine is excellent, given the bounty of the land and sea (many Caribbean islands import most of their food). Water sports galore -- diving, snorkeling, swimming, sailing and yes, even a dreaded jetski or two. And, above all, the people are very warm and friendly. <BR> <BR>In the unlikely event Grenada doesn't provide you with enough diversions, you can take a day trip to neighboring Carriacou, or even the Grenadines (snorkel trips to the Tobago Cays, for example). <BR> <BR>With the exception of some very low-key development (none taller than a palm tree) in the Grand Anse area, Grenada is blissfully undeveloped and seems likely to continue to be so. Accomodations range from quaint guesthouses to luxurious small resorts. <BR> <BR>For more information about Grenada, visit www.grenadaexplorer.com. Or visit my personal website at www.homestead.com/islandtime/MainPage1.html, where I have a report (with photos) of my 12/00 trip. <BR> <BR>Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, and good luck choosing the perfect honeymoon spot!

Bermuda is a wonderful spot to visit for your honeymoon. Lots to do including the beach. Depending on where you are departing from, there are usually good prices on cruises out of New York. Hotels and food can be expensive on the Island (remember, everything is imported) so you can get really good value on a cruise. But don't discount staying at one of their hotels. Last year we dined with a couple who were on their honeymoon. They too couldn't decide where to go and where so happy they chose Bermuda and planned on returning this year for vacation.

TO FRANK RIZZO: <BR> <BR>why are you being such a cynical sarcastic jackass, people post on these message boards to get helpful answers to honest questions not to be chided by a sad little man whose best diversion in life is chiding people who need advice on vacations
