I’ve been working with CB over the last several weekends to start real plans of what we are interested in doing while on islands.
We start with a must list.
Must Do #1 CB and I are certified divers but it has been a couple of years since CB has “gotten wet”. This trip we will dive! Ok cool, now which day(s)? Our buddy’s girlfriend is certified too and he has graciously gone along with the idea of doing a resort dive to see if he likes it. I told him that we are going to dive Anguilla as I was not overly impressed with diving off of SXM the last time I went. No problem they planned to day trip to AXA so that being said…they were in. Some e-mail fired back and forth between frozen KC and Anguilla and we are all set for a Saturday of diving. CB and I will do a couple of morning dives and our friends will join us for a later dive that day. Must do #1 is now out of the way.
Must Do #2 This is a must for Rob only I think so may move down to the would like to do list soon. We have not had pix shot of the two of us professionally in 25 years. It is time to have some more done. Rob has talked CB into trying on her wedding dress and after viewing a photo shoot of another couple that did a trash the dress shoot I think CD has bought into the idea. First things first….try on the dress. Oops, bodies change thru the years. Before anyone jumps to conclusions here. CB several years ago dabbled in body building for a few years while we lived in Hawaii in the 80s and has kept the general physique ever since. So needless to say the top part of the dress where she is certainly more muscled today than a quarter century ago wont zip all the way up. We are still however thinking of possibly having some alterations done to the dress….maybe incorporate some lacing in the back and some sleeve altering too. So idea isn’t lost yet but put temporarily on hold. Still thinking of pictures and have a friend that is leaving for the island this weekend that said he would check out a photographer for us.
Like to do’s
Explore Anguilla more than we have in the past. This year we will rent a car and putter.
Visit Baie Rouge with friends. We like to walk the entire beach. The west end is incredible but want someone there with us to watch our stuff. Have 4 days with friends and are hoping to get this in one day.
Go up to Fort ST Louis again in Marigot …again with friends.
Visit Orient and Cay Verte.. this is with and or without friends so no problem there.
Visit our friend Sean at Peg Leg on a few occasions…this will again be no
Problem.
We will visit several other beaches, I know we will hit Cupecoy and Friars as well as Happy, will try to squeeze in Pinel too.
Will have dinner with two other couples on Thursday April 24th. We are all celebrating our anniversary that week so it should be fun for all.
Plan looks like this…..
Leave KC to Dallas on evening of 15th. Have dinner with a friend there
Early flight 16th to Miami and on to SXM. Catch cab, ferry and cab to hotel in Anguilla
17th….lime the day away
18th Island tour of Anguilla
19th check out, dive Anguilla and check in in SXM
20th grocery store and beach with friends
21st Day at Orient
22nd visit Marigot and fort catch afternoon at Friars and Happy
23rd take friends to airport and relax at beach….anniversary dinner!!!
24th beach day and dinner with other friends
25th catch up on anything we may have missed
26th fly home…early flights that day
So it looks as if our plate will be pretty full from start of the trip until our friends leave on Wednesday the 23rd then only thing we will have left is a dinner out and hopefully a photo shoot.
By the way, we are in the islands MON so this plan can and will change for sure!!
