Anguilla, British Overseas Territory

In this episode: The FAQ is check it or carry on?   The destination is Anguilla, in the British Overseas Territory in the Eastern Caribbean. The mistake is Faith Not Fear and the Tip is the best advice is found in the Bible.

FAQ Check luggage or carry on?

I’m a fan of using cubes and a small personal item to bring on board the plane these days. If in doubt, I’ll carry on. However, if I must dress up and bring several pairs of shoes, that doesn’t always work. The wardrobe changes may require a suitcase. Then I will check the bag, especially if it’s Southwest Airlines.

Do you check luggage?

Luggage does usually arrive, and hardly ever gets lost these days. But it can take a long time to retrieve it, so if you are in a hurry, don’t check it.

Today’s Independent Destination Anguilla

Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory in the Eastern Caribbean. It’s one main island, and a few offshore islets. The beaches here go from long and sandy like Rendezvous Bay, which is not too far from St. Martin Island. They also are full of secluded caves such as at Little Bay. There are also many protected areas, including Big Spring Cave, where former pre-historic petroglyphs lived, and a wildlife conservation site.

15,000 people live there, and it’s not so packed as many other islands. There are just fewer places to stay and only a few hotels on the small island.

What makes Anguilla's beaches the best in the world? White, powdery sand that stretches for miles, pristine waters and the laid-back, welcoming attitude of the Anguillan people. Swim and sunbathe all day—and all year round—at romantic public beaches like the aptly-named Rendezvous Bay, then dance to calypso music at Anguilla's annual summer festival.

Today’s Mistake-Faith not Fear….

Fear. Yes, I’ve was afraid. It’s the opposite of faith.

I’ve made many mistakes in travel, but I am thankful for them, because I’ve learned to make them about joy instead.

I have not lived in the present for a long time. That’s a part of travel that I need to work on. Live for now and maybe concentrate on being with those you are with more instead of looking at the future so much.

Today’s Travel Advice- Read my Bible for the best advice in the world.

My big roadmap is toward God. One of the things that I try to do on my travels is to read the Bible every day. The Word of God is the answer that I’m seeking every day. His is the path for me. His plan is for me to Love him and love others. Reading and being in His word makes this appear real to me as a reminder.

Today I want to bring meaning to your travel.

Travel Planning: Ecuador

 Ecuador: planning Listener Story Spotlight I want to tell you about a listener named Pat who loves to take 40-minute walks. She does one every day. We have traveled together to Spain and have been ski buddies for over 10 years. She's a superb figure skater and loves cats. Maybe you even know my friend. Her last name is Brown, inspiring me to go to the Galapagos Islands this year. Thanks, Pat, for that encouragement.   The FAQ for today is:  How do you choose your outfits for weather conditions that constantly change? The answer is more straightforward than you think: It's basic colors, basic footwear, and layers, including a layer of insulated and waterproof clothing with a hat. You can also buy things along the journey, so if you don't have one now, you can get one later. What brings you more confidence? Is it knowing where you are going to sleep tonight? Is it knowing the language? Is it knowing you don't have to worry about anything? Let me know your thought...
