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.

RIP Dean Alphonso Buell

Celebrating the life of Dean Alphonso Buell in April, 2012 with his mom and two friends. Dr. Travelbest is priviledged to know Raquel Giraldez, mother of the deceased, as she was the designer and illustrator and most travelled friend of Dr. Travelbest in 1993 as the book was being written and published. Dean was involved with the editorial, even though he was a youngster at the time. Thanks, Dean, for sharing your mom so that Dr. Travelbest could teach others about Independent Travel. Speaking of travel, this is the view from the front yard of Raquel's home in Buellton, CA. The mountains in the distant background are picture postcard on this memorable day, right near the 101. (Photos: top: view from Raquels, bottom: center, Raquel and right, Rosanna Figuerola (sp?) at the Celebration of Dean's 24 years on the earth.) There were so many stars that night, we knew that Dean was watching us from above with his new friends.

I want to travel independently, does that makes sense? Written by: Lizandra Jimenez Rodriguez When traveling becomes a great passion, you usually keep a bucket list framed at your desk or in the lock screen of your phone. You never stop planning or deciding when, where, and how to get to the next place. There are tons of ways to travel, however, independent travel has been always a popular one for those seeking adventure, exploring on their own, or simply trying to get away from the traditional and superficial (for some) tourist routine. A myth we need to forget is that independent travel is not all about backpacking in Europe or climbing the Everest; in fact, it can be done in many ways including different levels of budget and luxury. Also, independent travel can be done solo or with an affinity group with a particularly crafted itinerary. This makes it very different from escorted traveling of course. Companies have understood how escorted traveling is not for everyone and to
