Two of we mature (but travel-experienced) couples are making plans for a trip to the Caribbean area next January.
A very preliminary schedule calls for about 3 weeks in Venezuela, 4 weeks in the Caribbean starting in Trinidad and then working our way north, and the final 3 weeks in Puerto Rico/environs.
We're excited about the jorney, but concerned about the high season prices for everything we see in the travel guides, especially in comparison to the SE Asia and Central
American trips we've taken. Even the LP has relatively few budget suggestions . . .
With apologies for the clearly wide open question, we would really appreciate any suggestions from readers
for Venezuela, the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico. Especially helpful would be recommendations for budget accomodations and "don't miss" places/islands en route.
Much obliged . . .
