SandySnow we looked at a number of islands includin Guadaloupe (sp?) and Martinique. We've been to Aruba and Jamaica and found no reason to go back. (We did all the things we wanted to do in Aruba. Jamacia was an AI which and ok but missed being able to drive to other towns like we could in SXM). Cancun and other Mexican resorts didnt appeal to us and Punta Cana didn't offer enough to attract us. So that's how we selected Curacao. Will post a trip report when we return.
