My trip to Anguilla, BWI

My much needed holiday on the island of Anguilla (British West Indies) was awesome. I hadn't been to Anguilla since 2001 (the week before 9/11) and I've wanted to go back ever since. Anguilla is not the easiest island to get to but it's worth the journey. You have to either fly to Puerto Rico and take one of those toy airplanes to Anguilla or do what most people do which is take a 20 minute ferry from nearby Sint Maarten/Saint Martin. The ferry ride is a harrowing experience.

This was the view from the hotel room balcony:


The beach on which the hotel was situated (Mead's Bay) is said to be the most naturally beautiful of Anguilla's 33 beaches. The sand was soft and white and the water was warm and turquoise. This pic almost looks like a postcard:



Shout out to my frat brother for doing a great job driving on the left side of the road around the island because that's something I wasn't trying to attempt.

All in all, the vacation was great and I got a chance to relax before next week's return for another school year. Hurricane Bill messed with the water a couple of days but fortunately did not hit the island by a long shot.
