Caribbean: High or low season?It's the middle of January, and heat-seeking bikini bombshells carpet the beach, bronzing the winter pallor from their pampered flesh.

You're at ground zero of the Caribbean high season, and you wouldn't have it any other way.Same beach in mid-July.

Finances can mar wedded blissIf you have serious hopes of achieving financial peace with your partner, keep this in mind: Compromise is the most vital ingredient. The first step toward compromise is simply to talk with each other about your finances. Trouble is, for reasons that baffle and confound financial planners, couples often spend more time planning their annual vacations than they do discussing their long-term financial goals. Even couples who do talk tend to minimize their problems and exaggerate how well they're managing their finances. Major problems tend to include spending more than you earn and anointing one person the financial czar in the household, while the other person relinquishes all control. Avoid barriers What to do? First, acknowledge your problems. Not doing so can be an "absolute barrier to making progress on the road to financial security," said Greg McBride of Bankrate.com, a personal-finance site.More Marketing To GaysFor the newly visible gay traveler, the world is not always a welcoming place, but more doors, and ports, are opening.Within the U.S., new places are pitching to gay men and lesbians.
