Sorry, I've been on vacation, but at the cottage rather than in Antigua, thank goodness. Photos and things from that trip will be over on Flickr as soon as I get around to uploading them at the mighty speed of 128 kilobits per second; posts here might have to wait a bit. In the meantime, here's part II of the previous Antigua trip part I.
It wasn't all terrible:
1) The crabs turned out to be quite cute.
2) As were the blackbirds.
3) The rum. Super-premium English Harbour, about $4 US for a big bottle. Mmmmm.
4) We saw a mongoose.
5) We saw a cotton tree.
6) We saw lots of cute lizards.
7) Historical sights - Nelson hid his fleet in English Harbour, apparently.
8) Complimentary rum punch on arrival.
9) Happy hour at the poolside bar.
10) Some guy offered me a "trip to paradise". Naively, I asked what he meant... a joint (spliff, doobie), apparently. Come to think of it, he *did* look a bit too Rasta to be a native Antiguan. And no, I did not partake... but it was worth a laugh that he took the time.
It was still kind of disappointing though. As a vacation destination, Antigua gets a 3 out of 10. Try somewhere else.

"a trip to paradise" could well have meant something else and i'm glad it wasn't that.
