The wife and I (and a few of her immediate family members) are looking to go on a Caribbean vacation in January of '09.  We're actively looking right now through various travel agencies for a decent deal that isn't going to break the bank but is also an all-inclusive resort (meals, drinks, tips, etc) and preferably has no kids allowed on the resort.  Has anyone out there been to any resort in any of the islands that they recommend or do not recommend?  Please leave a comment if you have something to help us narrow our choices.

Also:

- The wife and I have been to Secrets Excellence in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.  It was wonderful and we're looking for something similar, but probably don't want to go back to the same place.  Going to the one in Cancun is a possibility, but some of us have been to Cancun before and may want to go somewhere else.

- I've been to Negril, Jamaica, but not to an all-inclusive resort.  Not sure how they compare but where I was staying struck me as more suitable for college kids than more grown-up folks.

- A couple people have suggested St. Thomas (no specific resort).

Last night I wandered away from the TV before I could get sucked into another program that I didn't really want to watch but could not pull myself away from.  (Celebrity Impersonators?  American Inventors?  WTF?)

Anyway, I looked out the window into my backyard and saw an interesting sight:

Me: Honey, there's a whole family of cats out here…

D: A family of cats?

Me: Oh, wait, scratch that, it's just four cats.  Kittens, actually.

Yes, we appear to have kittens in our back yard.  There's an old barn just over our property line beyond our fence and I suspect the cat we have seen wandering around occasionally set up camp in there and had a litter.  Last night they decided our lawn made a better playground than their barn, so they squeezed through the fence to romp on our lawn.  We sat down by the window and watched until it started to rain and got too dark to see the three all-black kittens and we could barely make out the marmalade one.

Anyway, the wife's allergic to cats and we wouldn't really want to bring them in the house anyway without some sort of de-lousing treatment first.  Any suggestions for what to do?  They look reasonably healthy but I'm not sure it's a good idea to let a family of cats set up shop right behind our house, even if the owner of the barn doesn't care.  Especially as my daughter has a little sandbox (currently covered) that we don't want becoming the neighborhood litter box.

Should I call animal control, or someone else?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
