Anguilla has the reputation of being a high-end, expensive destination. No island is a bargain, when you consider the costs of importing goods, but you can ease the load a bit and travel for less with the Anguilla Card. The “discount card” for the island is the result of the ingenuity and hard work of Nori Evoy, whose website, Anguilla Beaches, is the essential guide to everything Anguilla. The Anguilla Card gives you 10% off at all points of your vacation, from your transfers to the island to that special meal to celebrate the end of the perfect trip.

All the film is back from the lab, all the digital images processed, and even our bags are unpacked (even the camera bag!), and our 2014 Anguilla Trip Report is complete.

I read about Hungry’s on Nori’s Anguilla Beaches site, and with my Anguilla Card in hand, we were ready to give it a try. Having read about the lobster quesadillas, I was sold – – plus it was Thanksgiving Day in the U.S., and I needed to keep up my tradition of a meal of Caribbean lobster on Thanksgiving! Hungry’s is the product of the collaboration of two men, Irad Gumbs (in the photo above) and Alfonzo (Papi) Hodge, known for their work in some of the island’s fine dining establishments.
