Antigua at $324 RT

When I was in the Virgin Islands last month, I chatted with a local woman who mentioned having family in Antigua. I asked her about it, and she told me it's the most beautiful place in the Caribbean.

So there's your tagline: The island so pretty, even other folks from the Caribbean are stunned!

With views like this, it's not hard to see why.

These dates are the shoulder season and catch the last of the dry days, but come after the crowds have disappeared. So the sooner dates you choose, the less likely you'll be to encounter rain.

No worries there — that just means you won't have to wait as long before tasting the rare black pineapple :-)
