From an article in the NY Times a few days ago: "Interest in the Caribbean is on the upswing, according to travel agencies like AAA Travel, which is reporting a double-digit increase in winter bookings over last year. Discounts for hotels and resorts, while widely advertised, aren’t quite as robust as they were this time a year ago. And limited flights are making it difficult to find a seat, let alone a bargain, especially on nonstop routes. But travelers planning visits outside of the popular holiday weeks can still score a deal on both flights and accommodations."
