Re: Caribbeans for vacation.
dont be such a stick-in-the-mud tdw! Beach CAN be fine for desis - light muslin skirts etc - there are more people than you'd think who dont get all bare on the beach. If you like pure white sugary sand, palm trees swaying and sky-blue water then theres no reason to stay away. Umbrella drinks are not necessarily laced with alcohol, many are really just fruit smoothies. Most desis like music and dancing and if you go to the right island, you will find this in joyful abundance if you WANT to. Otherwise, you are more than welcome to enjoy the tropical breeze on the beach while watching a sunset that can be more spectacular than any firework show. As far as food choices, they eat beef and goat which is acceptably halaal right? It might be somewhat difficult to find strictly halaal meats but on islands like trinidad and tobago, there is a nice population of Muslims so would be easier there. And you'd see more hijaabis even on the beach. Anyway, dont knock it esp if you like the beach!
