Who cares if you'll be the oldest - you'll be warm! Enjoy the sun, sand and surf - I'm jealous!

I was thinking about being old down there and was reminded of our stroll down the beach last time to the Hedonism resort. I think I still look better than the naked old folks I saw down there. Of course I won’t be naked....

Oh, have fun!

What the heck, go ahead and get naked.

Twenty four below? That’s crazy talk.

What a nice treat to look forward to. Enjoy yourselves.

Good for you! If you really want to make sure it's warm, you have the right idea.

Have fun! We were there probably 20 years ago too. We went twice - once to Sandals Montego Bay and once to Sandals Ocho Rios. We climbed the Falls. Don’t think I would do it now, though.

Sounds wonderful, have the best time ever!

If the average age of cruisers to the Caribbean is any indication, the only way you'd be the oldest guests is if you're 100+. :) We're headed down there for a cruise in a couple of weeks too - can't wait to escape these temps! Enjoy your well-deserved vacation!

Good for you! We climbed Dunn’s Falls and it was quite an adventure. Enjoy the sun!

3katz, this is indeed the time to escape from MN. Today (St. Paul) with the continued deep freeze and swirling snow on yet another gray day, I had serious cabin fever. Ugh.

Yes Emory, not a very nice day today. I drove home from my lake place in the blowing snow. Such a white out at times I couldn't see the car in front of me. Kind of a white knuckle trip but I made it without difficulty. I think we have about two inches on the ground now and still snowing pretty good. We've had a lot of wimpy winters over the past many years. This seems to be shaping up to be a real Minnesota winter though I see it's going to warm up this week (with more snow).

What a great way to spend your bonus! Enjoy!

Have fun!

Travel is always an experience. Enjoy the adventure. You'll probably have more fun than the younger ones.

25 below, i can't even. It was 15 below when we were in Mont Tremblant, but there was no wind so honestly it was not horrific.

I love winter as long as it is white. When it is brown, id rather be south.

Have fun!

I'm wondering why you are waiting until March. We're going to the South Pacific (Fiji) in February, but not for the weather, as it will probably be too hot and humid there, and it will also be the tail end of cyclone season - fingers crossed that we won't get one. I'm going there because of the coral reefs, and you will probably have those in Jamaica as well.

When I lived in San Francisco, I spent my winters in Mexico to avoid the cold and damp in S.F., which caused me to get sinus infections if I stayed. I was doing free-lance work at that time and could take off when work was slow, which typically happened in January and February. I spent Augusts in Vancouver because SF was cold in August as well, and so I can totally appreciate your need to travel for warmth.

We thought about going to the Caribbean, but for us, Fiji is cheaper and about the same distance. Weather will better in Jamaica than what we will get in Fiji.

I'm sure you'll have a great time, and they speak English in Jamaica, which makes it easier.

If I go somewhere south in the winter I usually go in March or early April. I’m usually at my wits end with winter by then. Plus It’s just too hard to come back from warm weather and face another two months of winter. Fiji sounds fun!
