The best advise though is first hand experiences so.... anyone have any info that they'd like to share about travel there?

What hotels, B&B's, beaches, things to do?
Is it safe?
How to get from airport to hotel?
Rent a car?

Thanks so much!
I am a former Villager and along-time sailboat skipper in the Bahamas and BVIs. The absolute best way to experience the Caribbean is on a big catamaran sailboat with a crew of 8-12 good friends. We fly down to the island of your choice, and sail from island to island, Jimmy Buffet style. I stay out of rough water (always sailing inside the island chains) and promise you a thrill of a lifetime. You need to be in decent shape for this adventure. I am 74 years old.
