Natasha, Thank you for practical information, pretty pictures and product lines.

In particular, I appreciate your pointing out that big and famous places, such as Las Vegas and New York City, need not be rejected by budget-minded, family-oriented vacationers.

Would British Virgin Islands, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico be competitive with Belize and Jamaica?
