Hi Wannabe,
Have a great trip, and a safe one.
At the time of year you're going, avoid coastal areas north of lat 17 degrees south, November to March is "The Wet" season.
Yes, you can still get around ok up there, but you need to be flexible with schedules to work around nature doing her annual bit up there.
Even if you need to stay tied down somewhere for a few days, bad things can still happen.
Here's some shots during Cyclone Larry showing what happened to a properly tied down C150.
