Question
hi wendy
We are planning to take a week for Caribbean vacation in September.
Where can we expect good weather? We went to Aruba last time and would prefer to go somewhere else..
Thank you

Answer
Hi Anna,

That is a tough question as September is the peak of hurricane season.
Aruba is still my 1st choice for that time of year as it is out of the hurricane belt.
If you are determined, why not consider a destination where they are prepared & organized for evacuations, such as Cancun area.
Also, please purchase trip insurance through a company such as AIG TRavel Guard, if your trip should be cut short you will at least be able to get some $$$ back!

I'm sorry this was not much help but travel to the Caribbean that time of year you can expect rain & tropical systems to move through most any area.

Let me know what area you choose!
