Northeast to caribean in feb, 4-5 days...
Hi,
I just got married two months ago, and before we have kids we wanted to do some traveling in february or early march. I am looking for a trip from the northeast (preferably Hartford, but Newark, JFK, LGA or Logan also work). I don't care where we go, just needs to be warm. I was thinking bahamas, PR, DR, etc. I have such wide parameters I am having issues. Is there a good day to fly? A website for such general desires? This is my first post on this site and am hoping for some direction. Thanks all!!

Welcome to Flyertalk, Point401 and congratulations on your marriage.
I am moving this over to the FT Caribbean Forum for discussion. Please follow there. I might also suggest studying that forum for some ideas.

Mid-March Bahamas is probably pretty safe, but any earlier, and I think you are taking a chance. I assume you want to swim, and in February it can be in the 60's if a real cold spell comes through. We did it one year, and since it is not tropical, we don't include it in ourlist of places to go in cold weather any longer.
I'd go at least as far south as Turks and Caicos.
A lot depends upon what you want. Swimming? Lots of places. Good snorkeling right off the beach (which is what I am always looking for)? Not as many places fit the bill.
