[Noah930]

I have a childhood friend whose mother lives in Turks and Caicos. My friend's parents used to own a resort there, but have since sold it. Mother still lives there, so my friend visits several times per year and is always posting gorgeous pics of it.

I also second the St John (USVI) rec from the other Caribbean thread. It makes St Thomas look run down, in comparison. You fly into St Thomas, and then take a ferry over to St John. Glad we stayed on St John, and not St Thomas.

But if you didn't like the Caymans because of too-sleepiness, I don't know if you'd dig the above recommendations. Hawaii's a lot safer for making sure there's enough to do, unless you go all-out like at Atlantis in the Bahamas. Mrs. Noah also recommends looking into St Croix; she stayed at a resort there once for a childhood family vacation and had a good time.
