1. It's always 30C and gorgeous in the Caribbean. Even if it rains, it's just for a few minutes and is hardly any inconvenience at all. The locals wouldn't even let rain ruin lunch. All is dry again in 10 minutes anyway. It is NOT scorching hot like some people imagine. 30C and a breeze is the most perfect weather I've ever experienced and it's like that each and every day. People don't discuss the weather like we Canadians do. For them, it's always the same so why talk about it.
2. Low season means the beaches aren't crowded. They are however, equally beautiful to high season.
3. There are no mosquitos, no wood ticks and no weird snow storms. You don't have to gamble that the weather and wilderness will co-operate on your one week off.
4. It's easy-breezy-beautiful on island time. You just don't have the hustle and bustle of North America. That, in itself, is a refreshing change.
5. You don't have weather shock when you return. Grandma won't need to have the boots and parkas in the truck when she picks you up. You can wear your shorts on the plane and back. Heck, you barely have to pack anything at all. Flip flops, a cover up, shorts and a bathing suit. Pick up a t-shirt and straw hat at the market when you arrive! No need to check luggage at all.
Best of all, most Caribbean destinations can offer you a week for under $1000 taxes included from May through September. Frankly, I would rather go to the Caribbean every second year in the summer, than once every 5 years in the Winter (based on my budget.)
Found at Redtag.ca May 26th. They also are offering St. Lucia and Antigua just over $1000.
