You should contact the respective tourist boards of the islands you are interested in.
Can I connect to the internet in the Caribbean?
Yes, you can - but it is usually not timely enough for most vacations and somewhat more expensive than in the U.S. We plan to offer pages devoted to Caribbean internet access in the future and some of our Travel Tips pages will soon list access providers for specific islands. Wireless services are becoming more popular also and you may be able to get on-line with your wireless laptop in your hotel or villa.
What is the weather like in June (July, August, etc.)? When is hurricane season?
Most of the Caribbean is considered sub-tropical. It is nice all the time! (almost) Average temperatures are usually between 75 and 85 degress fahrenheit for most islands, for most of the year. Tourist "season" generally coincides with winter in the Northerm Hemisphere, from about November to April, but the Caribbean has become a year round vacation stop. The official hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, but June, July and early August storms are rare.
