Hello everyone,
I am planning my first round the world travel for next year and I would love to include some destination like Saint Maarten or Barbados, which I would hit in August/September 2009. As I am from Europe I'm not experienced with Hurricanes at all so I wanted to ask if you can give me some advice on if I should completely avoid the Caribbean or on of the destinations in August/September or if there are places that are not too dangerous. Is the risk lower in August than in September? Also I would be happy if someone suggested other destinations which are just as nice but have a lower risk (e.g. I could also imagine Mexico offers absolutely beautiful places but as it is such a huge country I just wouldn't know where to go).
Kind regards
