Well, I made it back to Anguilla! I had a pretty smooth travel day yesterday and was so excited to arrive back on my favorite island once again. Ahhh, island bliss… You may or may not have noticed that I’ve been neglecting this blog a bit in the past few months. That’s been mostly because [...]
Whenever we travel away from home, it’s likely that we’re going to encounter people who live, think and act differently than we do. This applies not only to when we visit foreign countries, but could also be the case when we travel a just a few towns away. Recognizing that fact, it seems to automatically [...]
It isn’t difficult to fall in love with island accents, especially if you’ve naturally begun to associate them with that mesmerizing bliss that takes over when you’re in a Caribbean paradise. (A word of advice though: Don’t get so obsessed that you borderline stalk a guy in the grocery store because you hear him talking [...]
If you’re taking a trip to Anguilla, you should definitely make sure that a visit to Little Bay is on your list of things to do!

In order to aid in the recovery from my recent illness, I went ahead and booked my next trip back to my favorite island. :) It was always my plan to go back to Anguilla sometime this winter and since I was feeling a little bummed about having to cancel my St. Croix trip, it [...]
