I have friends there too, and I’m happy to go whenever they invite me but do love March -May (not during the Heritage as I don’t like people on my vacations) or Oct.
That’s my problem. I don’t like people on my vacations. I don’t like the water too hot (too many critters like sharks, jelly fish, stingrays - when I went 2 years ago there were all those things and alligators, owls, bats). I want my paradise to be PARADISE. For free. It all needs to be free.
