DISCLAIMER: This covers where I am in the planning stage Since we are now a few days shy of being 6 months before we get on island. This covers the list that I posted on August 29th so if you dont want to see the update...You may wish to skip this one.
All tier I planning completed.
A. Dates are set. We will be on island(s) from 16-26 April….woo hoo, first three days will be in Anguilla and the rest at our timeshare.
B. We have invited some friends along, unfortunately one couple said that they would be unable to make it ….they have a son that is a senior in HS and I can fully understand that they don’t want to miss any of that. The other person we have invited is a friend we will call BBDJohn….long story that I may or may not explain here.
C. Timeshare is booked for 19-26 April. I will have to add a room fairly soon to get BBDJohn a place but that should be no problem at all.
D. Anguilla. We are booked at the Allamanda on Upper Shoal Bay for the evenings of the 16-18th of April with a checkout on Saturday returning to ST Maarten to finish our vacation. Just CB and I will be on the AXA leg of this trip. We are soooo looking forward to this! Will rent a car for one of the days here to explore a bit but don’t know who from just yet. Maybe we will get ahold of our old friend Dennis Mussington and see if he will give us the guided tour and maybe just drop us off at a few places for a while.
E. Have airline booked….$600 each from KC. We do overnight in Dallas on the first evening but that is no problem as we will be in the islands before 2PM the next day.
F. Have made arrangements with AAA car rental for a Corolla for the week we are on island….it is $150 a week and no we don’t need a car that size but Rob is a big guy and would like to have a bit more room and is willing to pay for the extra space. I am bigger than some of those little cars on island…LOL
Tier II
1. Laptop is working but needs a new battery. No sweat we still have the holiday coming up. It is an older laptop so is pretty heavy but I will be taking it with us so I can blog and post pix while there.
2. Still in market for the DSLR. May stick with what we have but really really want a new camera.
3. Dive Equipment. Dunno how much we will need I have full set of dive underwear and wife has mask, may get her a snorkel and fins and be done with it or may rent fins there so all can still be done with carry on like we like it to be.
Tier III
Activities while on island.
These we have discussed and are continuing to discuss.
#1&2 I think we will either do Prickly Pear trip or dive but most likely not both, this will be CB’s decision.
#3 Jet ski out to Caye Verte…this is a Rob decision and I really want to do this one so my guess is we will. For those that don’t know this is the little island in front of Club O.
#4 Beaches. We have added 2 must do’s to our list one being Pinel Island and the other the jet ski trip above. List of other beaches is Cupecoy, Long , Plum, Rouge ( that covers the lowlands) Would like to obviously go to Orient as well as Friar’s and even a little hike over the hill from there to Happy. With timeline some of these will be partial day visits for us.
#5 Dinner in Grand Case area….will do but not too sure where yet.
#6 We are still in need of rousting up a photographer for some photos.
#7 Meet with some TTOL friends for a dinner out or at least a few drinks
Well there is the trip plan update…we are truly most of the way done…now I can sit back and think about things like…a new camera and activities to do for our 25th anniversary on island.
