Hi Everyone, I’m having a hard time deciding between the two. We would like to go the middle of Oct. for 2 weeks but I’m a liitle worried about the weather.We can go later in Nov. but I would like to hear from anyone thats been to either place during Oct. or Nov. and what your weather was like. If we go to the exumas,deciding to stay at Staniel Cay yacht club or renting a houseboat which we can take from island to island or Club Med at Turks. Any help with the weather would be great and also does anyone know if they sell non-alcholic beer in either of these places. I know there are some grocery stores on Exuma and club med is all inclusive so thats not a problem but if we rent the houseboat that has a full kitchen where to stock up on grocieries and n/a beer. I know when we want to go is hurricane season and there is no gaurauntee but I’m seeing many sights that are saying it doesn’t usually get to bad. We are sun and surf people so I would be very upset if the weather was terrible. Thanks so much for your help. Helene

So I live in the DC metro area and rent is absolutely ridiculous up here. Plus, I have two dogs, but one is staying with my parents until the end of my lease which allows one dog at which time I am expected to have found a way to take my other dog from them (I’ve been in the area less than a year). I’m thinking about buying a 30k houseboat and liveaboard marina and living on it. I’m just wondering what would be a good interest rate and length for such a deal. The boat is old (1975) but in good shape. I think that convincing a lender to make a loan should be easy considering I have mid-700s credit, very low balances on current credit accounts (<k combined) and all in good standing, and currently pay more in rent than what the loan + utils + slip fees will cost. Something tells me that a bank still might be flaky about a 1975 houseboat. But could I get 6 or 7% for 5 years with 10-20% down do you think?

My brother, his wife, our cousin, myself and hubby took a cruise this year, went to St. Thomas, St. Croix and Barbados. We fell in love with the water. Our family wants to do it again next year. We did not care for doing the cruise, we always seemed to be rushing to get back to the ship. We went on snorkeling trips, zip lines etc. Especially want to do snorkeling again. We are thinking of maybe renting a house on one of the islands or do an all inclusive. We love water toys, so any suggestions of which island to stay at and where. We are in our 50′s and do not want to be around a bunch of kids. We did see a houseboat that sleeps six online. Looks like we could rent that for our trip. Any ideas or experiences that you could share would be great.
