2009 September | Caribbean travel tips and tricks

I was planning on going to Dominican Republic during the March Break with my boyfriend who is 20. Both of us aren’t 21..
is this still possible?
What should we do?

I suppose u wanna know if you can travel at your ages and the answer is yes. You can also book hotel rooms if my memory serves me correct.

I’m getting married in June and my fiancee wants to go to the Cayman Islands for our Honeymoon. I would love nothing more than to take her there. She has been there with her family before and it’s probably her favorite place in the entire world. It sounds absolutely beautiful and wonderful…However, the cost is almost double of other places in the caribbean, and I’m having a horrible time fitting it into the budget. I mean, it is literally double the cost of other places which is very frustrating. Any suggestions of where else there is to go that is similar to Grand Cayman?

As one who has lived in both Grand Cayman and the TCI, I can’t agree that there is any comparison between the two. You don’t say when your fiancee was last in Cayman, but it has changed somewhat since Hurricane Ivan two and a bit years ago. Providenciales has superlative beaches, if that’s what you are after ("the best in the world"), but there is really nothing else to do than hang about on the beach and I don’t think that prices lag far behind those of Cayman.

Perhaps this is the moment to go somewhere new to both of you, so that you will discover it together and have shared memories. If your fiancee likes sophistication and style, then a good choice would be Martinique. As part of metropolitan France, it has French sophistication combined with Caribbean exoticism. http://www.martinique.org/. Alternatively, you could consider its sister island Guadeloupe — a more rural part of France than Martinique! http://www.escapeartist.com/guadeloupe/guadeloupe1.htm

I was utterly thrilled by both islands. They’re not at all like the Cayman Islands — they are dramatically different.

i really want to know some information from students and other people who know about this school because i am still confused if i should apply for this school . i really need some help so please tell me what i should do .

the answer is no, it’s not good.

I have to respond to Prospero because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and is giving you terrible info/advice - although i like the fact that his name references Shakespeare’s Tempest. First off, when you apply to US med schools, apply to both MD and DO schools. since you’re considering the caribb. i’m going to assume you’re not a competitive applicant. so, you shouldn’t apply to any of the med schools that are in the top 100. e.g. don’t apply to michigan state college of osteopathic medicine. it’s ranked number 7 in the US in primary care, so you won’t get in. apply to your state MD/DO schools and private MD/DO schools you will be competitive at.

Don’t listen to Prospero, people don’t "apply to these their 3rd year of trying to get into medical schools." apply to every type of school the first time - MD/DO and the acceptable caribb schools like SGU (and the other one; I can’t remember its name). You’re goal should be to get into a DO/MD school in the US. if that doesn’t work then go to the caribb.

Rum makers from across the Caribbean met in Barbados to show and explain the differing processes / colours and tastes of their products.
Alun Hill spoke with them - on the beach at the Barbados Hilton, as the sun sets.
See the different rums - and see the evident pride each distiller has in their product.
