Looking for a Caribbean vacation recommendation for my husband and me. Want to go for around a week in early summer. We are active, not partiers, like boutique or small hotels or b&bs. Like being able to walk places. Like a more local experience versus touristy/resort-type places. I’d love somewhere that I can lay on a beach with a pina colada and also go hiking/explore nature or explore a local town so that we don’t get bored with so many days. Thank you!

I highly recommend Martinique, a French-speaking island in the Caribbean. I visited a few years ago and really loved it there. Wonderful, quiet beaches (some black sands), good hiking, and laid back historic towns. Rum distilleries too.

I echo Martinique and Guadeloupe. Both great French overseas departments. You'll need a rental car on both to explore the islands fully.

We’re going to Saint Martin/ Sint Maarten in a month - haven’t been before, but from what I can tell, it has a lot of what you describe. If you stay on Orient Beach, you can walk to lots of restaurants (which are supposed to be really good on the whole), there is a whole mountainous side of the island that is good for hiking, and it apparently has a European feel to it. Maybe look into it?

Check out St. Lucia. They have several little towns to visit during the day. Plus it has a rainforest.

I'd also suggest Puerto Rico as well - look beyond San Juan. I'd suggest having a car to get the most out of the island.

Some context: agency let go about 15% of the company a month ago. I was warned by my dept lead more layoffs could happen if we don’t win new business soon. I’m 35w pregnant.

What scenario (if any) is most likely:
- That I’m let go before my mat leave begins
- I’m let go during mat leave
- I’m let go immediately after returning from mat leave

Seems like potential PR nightmare for them, but I can’t ignore the fact that I was given a heads up that layoffs could happen.
