FH said that American Airlines refuses to book any flights to Aruba because of the lack of cooperation that was given when that girl went missing. FFIL is booking our flgiht because he is giving us his points so now we dont know where we should go!!! NOW WHAT!!!???

why don't you look into St. Lucia? It's supposedly the most beautiful out of the islands. Or Jamaica, it's beautiful and the least expensive! HTH!

Yes, but we are getting married in October which is Hurricane season in the Carribbean (spelling is horrible tonight)

Hmmm, now you got me! I'm going there during hurricane season as well, and they have hurricane protection. I'm staying at Sandals. You definitly want somewhere warm and tropical, right? I can give you my TA's #, she's fabulous, and can probably suggest something for you and work out your miles w/ AA.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I did a quick Google search and this is what came up:

Alabama governor calls for Aruba boycott

Aruba boycott hits snag - U.S. State Department won't back travel ban

I guess it was brought up, but I can't see that ever going through...

another option is the west coast of mexico. no hurricanes to worry about!

---

any suggestions of what parts of Mexico???

Hawaii is always a good choice. I have heard that St. Lucia and the rest of the islands near there, rarely get hit my hurricanes.

Cabo San Lucas, west coast Mexico. My parents say it beautiful and very built up.

No worries - there is no travel policy regarding aruba on AA.com, and flights are still up for ARuba, and the US has not boycotted Aruba

Bride Twin: We are getting sper rates to go to Hawaii via liberty travel here in NYC. FM me
You should also consider Costa Rica too!!!!!
I am told (though I dont believe anything) that the Islands by mid October are pretty much not a concern for hurricanes meaning Aruba, St Lucia, PR, DR and its more of a Bermuda, Bahmas, and FL.
HTH

I am sorry that your plans have been spoiled. But I personally support the boycott.

I have been following the Natalee Holloway case and the Aruban government has done very little to find out what has happaned to her.

Plus, the three guys, Joran, Sateesh, and Depak have ADMITTED to raping her, and they are free men.

Its time we send the message that Americans will not stand for such injustice.

I totally agree- I have been waiting for a boycott since it happened-
