Finding a vacation deal in the Caribbean

Finding a vacation deal in the Caribbean: "From Aruba to Jamaica, from the Cayman Islands to the Virgin Islands, there's lots of ways for New Yorkers to enjoy the Caribbean.

Do you have a favorite Caribbean getaway?

Still Traveling : "As I trudged through the rain recently, a friend diverted me from cold, wet thoughts with news that she was planning a trip to Aruba in a few weeks. I’ve never been to this small island just off the coast of South America, but the idea of white beach sand and warm Caribbean breezes were enough to push soaked clothes and flash flood warnings to the recesses of my mind – at least temporarily."
