It's cold outside today and our thoughts turn once again to
points south. NY Times has a piece on 36
hours in St Barts. This Caribbean gem has an active night
life and is visited by the likes of Beyonce and Jay-Z... reasons to
stay away in my book. On the other hand there are 17
exquisite white sand beaches, first rate food and the opportunity to
speak French si vous plais. The good news is that the rich
and famous can't land their Gulfstreams on St. Barts, the landing strip
is too small. They need to fly in by puddle jumper just like
everyone else. All of that said, if I were looking for a warm
beach in February I'd be more inclined to look to Belize.
Belize is one of those off the beaten path places where the
beaches are uncrowded, the natives friendly and the prices low.
American Airlines is offering discounted
fares to Central and South American locations through May.
Denver to Belize is just $425 RT. So maybe you get
in some skiing before heading south. That's the ticket.
Or you could fly Boston-Sao Paulo for $588 RT.
