My parents-in-law own a timeshare which they trade for a destination in the Caribbean every Christmas. We are very fortunate to be invited to join them and Andrew's brother's family for a sunny vacation as a precurser to Christmas. Presents are exchanged and a full year of history is recounted.
This year we had a new addition to the family with our 9-month old nephew Kai Thomas. Kai is a very happy and engaging baby. Arleen and Greg make wonderful parents and will ensure many adventures for their child in the upcoming years.
Antigua is a lovely island and is one of the most scenic Caribbean destinations that we have been to thus far. The varying topography is picturesque and the people are very friendly. The is land is peppered with abandoned windmills used previously to grind sugarcare.
Each morning we would receive a short rain shower or "liquid sunshine" as the resort personnel call it. A rainbow would appear with one end in the ocean and the other in hills. I had Dylan convinced that the rainbow pointed the way to a sunken Spanish ship carrying gold medallions and to buried pirate treasure on the island.
We had the opportunity to spend the day on a
catamaran. Dylan had a great time being tossed around while sailing on the Atlantic ocean. We saw all of Antigua by sea....
.....and on another excursion by jeep we saw all of Antigua by land.
Overall, we thought of Antigua as a romantic spot and would recommend it as a vacation destination (minus snorkling opportunities).
