    More suitable for what? Do you want Caribbean or India. India is not like going on a jaunt to Spain - I've been three times and it's somewhere you can just decide to go to at the last minute.

    I enjoyed my trips to India and would go again without hesitation, but don't treat it like 'a bit of winter sun'. It's a great Country with lovely people, but if you choose to sit by a hotel pool all day you will miss out on what it has to offer.

    You need a Visa which should be applied for now if you want to go in October and it's another cost to factor in. You also need a few injections - if you haven't already had them it may be too late to get them all in before October. You also need to take malaria tablets a week before you go and then for a few weeks after you come back - more cost.
