One of the places I’ve always wanted to go to is the Caribbean. Sun, sea, sand, what else can you ask for? The question is, is it possible to have cheap holidays<\/a> in the gorgeous islands of the Caribbean?<\/p>\n Though the more popular islands can get quite pricey, choosing some of the smaller islands can give you that Caribben exprience without the heart-stopping credit card bill at the end of the trip. I’ve seen the Globe Trekker – Eastern Caribbean<\/a> episode, which gave me hope that budget travel in the Carribean IS possible. Traveller Justine Shapiro island hopped from Trinidad, to its sister island of Tobago, on to the spice island Grenada, the remote island of Carriacou (where she visited the home of artist Canute Calliste), and finishing off at Dominica. As with most tourist-y places, there are expensive digs, though if you look enough, there can be great deals to be had. A native hut for accomodation and local busses instead of a posh resort and limousine service, perhaps?<\/p>\n Okay, holidays to Caribbean will eat at my travel budget, but will I write it off my destination list? Never! Though money is a big issue when traveling, I believe that it’s important to indulge and give yourself a treat once in a while. It keeps you sane, happy and content. Besides, if you can travel in the Caribbean on the cheap, it’d be even better right? With the number of deals and information you can get online about travel destinations, it’d be easy to know where to go, when to go and when to book. <\/p>\n
