Where to go..need help

Help!! I am totally clueless about all these tropical places. We are thinkin about going in the 1st 2 weeks of October or the week before Thanksgiving in November.

I know its kind of hurricane season..so its a concern..however we really dont want to go to europe..too expensive and not enough time off to request from work.

Sooooo..what islands do you guys recommend. And what is the difference between the islands? does anyone know? There is Aruba, Bermuda, Bahamas, Cayman Island, Domicican Republic, Bahamas, Hawaii, British Virgin Islands, US VI, Jamaica, St Marteen,..ect. ect. They all sound nice but imi not sure of the differences ha

We've been to a few of the islands: St. Maarten, USVI (st thomas and st john), Bahamas.

We chose the USVI for our honeymoon and it was awesome. Plus its a direct flight from nyc and like a 4 hour trip so that saves you travel time. Some of the islands you have to transfer in puerto rico.
The USVI is a territory of the United states, so we felt very safe.

FM for more info on the virgin islands if you want

We were looking for a tropical honeymoon at around the same time, and I found that Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco are on the Pacific coast of Mexico and aren't in as much danger of hurricanes as Carribean islands and other places you mentioned.

In the end, we decided to go on honeymoon 2 weeks after our wedding since it fits better with our schedules, and since it's technically the end of hurricane season by then, we still decided to go with the Dreams Resort in Puerto Vallarta. Delta has a direct flight from JFK to Puerto Vallarta (~5.5 hours...can't beat that)!
