Fabulous! I've been there Mar, May & Dec. They're all good. Remember, the all-island Christmas party is on December 12th, with Inner Visions playing reggae at Mongoose Junction.

Gigi,
I see you will be on the Island the same time. Lets have a drink at the beach bar one day. Hopefully there will be a beach bar gathering

Sounds like there will be a large group of us on island at that time!

It is delightful! But you might need to make sure to plan ahead as far as reservations and plans!

It's going to be a GOOD time!

Air and water temps are cooler. That's most noticeable to me.

Jeans?? I have never worn anything other than shorts. Might have to rethink my wardrobe - especially since I committed to only taking a backpack this time...

Perfect time to go....you'll miss the big in season crowds (I hope you finagled an offseason rate, wherever you are staying), but its still freezing at home, so you'll feel like you really need a vacation.

I don't remember any big swells at that time last year. It will be perfect...pretty much like any other trip. :D
