Fall Travel Ideas: Caribbean

Bargain "summer rates" for Caribbean resorts continue right into December, and offer a great chance to sample a resort's amenities, fancy swimming pools, and beach at bargain rates. Parents of preschoolers especially appreciate those resorts with programs for toddlers, or infant care; one all-inclusive even gives each family their own "vacation nanny" during their stay.

Meanwhile, by September hurricane season has typically passed its peak.

Beaches Single Parents Month
The popular family resort chain, Beaches, is an all-inclusive with multiple kids' programs including toddler age, and infant care. Every year, Aug 15 to October 31 are "Single Parents Months": the usual "Single Supplement" is waived, which means a nice price break and also a chance to meet other single parents at cocktail parties and other special events.
