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.

Yes, you should try it at the least, but not in rush hour with all of your luggage. One way to test it out is to try it early in the morning, before rush-hour workers arrive, but while it’s still light outside. Most of the time, you only need a card to swipe, and you can add money to the card when you need to. Your first care purchase is often at a self-service kiosk, and usually there is English translations here. Go for it and try.
