Thank you for your advice to take a cruise, Linda. I have been on a cruise to St. Marten and St. Thomas, and I found I do not like cruises.

I think you will agree, since I am going alone and am spending my 76th birthday in November, it might be wiser to travel in a group. I would really like your input as to which island is best for me. Are there any hurricanes at that time of the year? What are the temperatures in November?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you, Elaine.
