Head to the Caribbean for Luxury Vacation Rentals

October 30, 2007. The New York Times Travel section published a full spread on Caribbean travel this weekend. It's a worthy, inspiring package that will have you planning an island vacation moments after you fold up the paper.

The topics are diverse and appropriate for the season. Now is a great time to make travel plans, if you haven't already, for a winter escape to a warmer climate.

One article examines non-stop flights and the ease of travel they provide between your hometown and your vacation destination. There isn't always a non-stop flight, but they are increasing in numbers. Puerto Rico leads the pack, with zero-layover options being extended this year.

The Dominican Republic is the subject of an ode to authentic cultural experiences, but with a twist: the article details the pockets of Dominican restaurants and culture in New York City. It's a clever addition to the whole package.
