We have barely seen one snowflake here in southern Connecticut so far this winter and you are not going to hear me complaining about that one bit. But, it is still chilly and dreary and if I could hop on a plane and escape to any of these Caribbean resorts, I would do it in a heartbeat – in fact, I do have a trip to one of them planned for later this winter…More on that later 🙂
If you are feeling the need to banish your winter blues in favor of some Caribbean blues, check out these great offers in the islands this winter…

SO…which would you choose to ward off your winter blues?
Calgon – take me away…. I need warm weather and sunshine. Have a great week, dear Sandy.
We have had a strange winter here as well, although we did have a dusting of snow, it is now back to the 60's. I am not complaining either.
I would love to go to any of these beautiful places for a nice relaxing holiday, they are all so beautiful.
I cannot wait to hear about your adventure! Have a wonderful week Sandy! You are in my thoughts!

Sounds wonderful since its windy and chilly here! xo K
Like in Heaven! Divine places!
Ahhhh this post is killing me, i would love to be on a beach now toasting in the sun! How relaxing…..can't believe not one single snowflake, I feel robbed:) Although sounds like we might get a few tomorrow, works for me!
All look fabulous….. but my choice would be the Viceroy in Anguilla. Living on the west coast we typically head to Hawaii or Mexico, but we are heading to the Caribbean for a second visit this spring. Our first visit to the Caribbean was 9 years ago and we went to the Cayman Islands….beautiful.
Um, all of the above? I just got back from cruising The Bahamas, so nice to enjoy that exotic warmth, tropical storms, weathered wood and the unique blues of the islands.
Any place with AQUA water is fine with me. I don't get the winter blues usually since I'm so busy with school to even stop long enough to think about it! But when I'm given the choice, an aqua sea is for me!
We have a fresh layer of snow on the ground, bright blue sky and wind chills below zero. I'm not complaining – I left San Diego to come back to this – but I sure do appreciate these lovely thoughts and photos from the balmy Caribbean!
