T&T: Antigua

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Hi  Greg -
 
Suggest  you buy "Cruising Guide to the Leeward Islands" by Chris Doyle. It 
has all of  what you seek. 
 
You  must get away from Jolly Harbour and go  to English Harbour to visit 
Nelson's Dockyard. Dress like a yachtie rather  than a tourist and take public 
transport or a taxi. Walk around to the right of  the entrance to the Dockyard 
on the road, looking like you are going to your  boat, in order to avoid the 
entrance fee that folks on tours will  pay. Arrive in time for lunch at the Inn 
(in the Dockyard), or  have lunch at the Yacht Club in Falmouth (known locally 
as Foul-mouth)  Harbour. Watch the sunset from Shirley Heights and have 
dinner at Abra  Cadabra.  
 
As  in all the islands, be sure to say "Good morning" or "Good day" etc. as  
appropriate before beginning any kind of conversation or when boarding a bus.  
It's considered impolite not to.
 
Enjoy,  and be happy you don't have to clear your yacht with Customs in  
Antigua!
 
Regards,
 
John

> Looks like we will be going to Antigua for a short vacation in two weeks.
Anyone have  any recommendations of attractions, restaurants, entertainment
etc.  We  will be at the Jolly Beach resort.  3 to 4 1/2 stars  depending on
which site you visit.  All inclusive including house brands  so that should
smooth out any bumps.  Input  appreciated.
