Tobago, probably, because I can find places to stay for just under $10us a day, which is kind of important to me because I will be there for at least a month and would like to save a bit over my usual trip to Thailand. I am looking for a quiet sort of small town, a beach and snorkelling would be very nice, but a beach is sufficient. I have heard a lot of negatives about Jamaica, and Haiti isn't on my shortlist, but has anyone got any ideas on quiet beaches that are not resort type areas? -------------------- If you aren't sure where you are trying to go, it is a lot easier to get there.

They also said the girls were especially good looking there too. Here's an example off hostels.com about prices. Santa Marta -------------------- My Travelpod: read at your own risk

She said it was a perfect place to go - quiet, still untouched. I'll ask her where she stayed and if she has any other advice for Tobago for you... stay tuned! -------------------- My Travelpod

About Santa Marta, it is fun and beautifula and YES COLOMBIAN WOMEN ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL(I'm Colombian). There is an Island that is just fantastic, it is call PROVIDENCIA, it might be a little bit price wo get there since the island is pretty much virgin, but once you get there is totally worth it.
