I'm planning a trip for my mother and I that would be for 5-7 days in early January. She is 74 but moderately active. Where should we go? Here's the criteria:
* beautiful beaches
* reasonable chance of good weather
* island culture and/or historical points of interest
* would like to avoid a painfully long flight if I can help it, although I'm resigned to the fact that anywhere in the Caribbean will not be a short flight for us since we live in L.A.
We have been to Puerto Rico, St. Martin, St. Bart's and Cancun, and would prefer to try someplace new.
Please help, and thanks!
