On August 13th, 2005, I'm tying the knot.

On the 14th, we plan to jet away to some sandy beach.

We were thinking of a caribbean destination. This morning, my brother's wife's aunt, a retired travel agent, told us that we would be going at the peak of the rainy season and we should reconsider.

Does anyone have personal expereince to share? Websites do confirm that the rainy season is generally from June-September, but I don't know how rainy that actually is. I'm cold-climate born and raised, so I could see myself apprecaiting slightly cooler temperatures and an afternoon rainshower to cool things off. However, I don't want to be stuck in a hotel because of a seven day downpour.

Further, can anyone recommend another part of the world? We have discussed hawaii, although it looks like it may be too expensive. Just somewhere warm with a beach. Although I think another eight months of recovery should be suffcient, my fiancee has vetoed Thailand and SE Asia.

Thanks.
