    In case anyone's thinking of the Caribbean this summer, I just got word of a program in the Caymans called "Summer Splash," which includes a "kids-fly-free" deal -- ages 11 years and younger pay nothing for round-trip airfares from Cayman Airways gateway cities, NYC, Miami, and Tampa. You also get your 5th night free at participating accommodations, deals on restaurants, rental cars, scuba and other stuff. Cayman Summer Splash can be booked March 15-September 2, 2009 for travel any time between June 1 – September 7, 2009, through travel agents or www.CaymanIslands.ky.
