Anguilla

In late 2007 Ashley and I, along with two wonderful co-workers Kim and Stephanie took a trip to St. Martin, St. Barts and Anguilla (Ahn-gwil-ah) in the Caribbean. This was by far one of my favorite trips because of the warm and inviting people of the caribbean, the bluest waters i have EVER seen and the perfect temperature of about 85* all the time. 

We flew into St. Martin and took a ferry straight to Anguilla where we would spend our first 2 nights. Anguilla turned out to be my favorite of the 3 islands for many reasons, but mostly is was the people:
Who wouldn't love an island that greeted you with this smile?


At one point we were stuck in the only island traffic of the day, when school is let out. Like every city in the world, the kids are running across the streets, giggling, fighting, hanging out. Above are the boys...
...and the girls.
This is the most beautiful beach on the island at the Cap Juluca hotel. Recent Ashly had a photo she took at this very spot published online for CNN travel via iReporter. Here is the photo:

Thats me! (Can you see why i love this place so much???)


Lunch at the Sheriva villa.
Our view at lunch. The Bouganvilla were EVERYwhere
This is the Desert Rose. A gorgeous flower that looks nothing like a rose but is equally as beautiful.
