CD, you are way too young for cruising. The casinos suck, its one big endless buffet that'll remind you of hogs at a trough, and you'll have to dress up in your CfO uniform every night for dinner. BelievemewhenItellyou, crusing ain't fer you. And let me just say that the pool doesn't have the scenery you want.

Another island that comes to mind, Bwana, is St Lucia. You'll have to see if there was much hurricane damage there or not. The Windjammer would be my recommendation there. We liked it so well that we went there twice, and we hardly ever do that.

My last recommendation is to spend a little extra and take your wife to Kauai. The flights will be more, and you'll have to rent a car but it is one of the best places I' e ever been. I think we've been there four times now. And the best part? It's America.
