    $1US = $2.70EC Eastern Caribbean and US Dollars

    January 14, 2012 / No Comments

    The Eastern Caribbean Dollar is the official currency of eight of the nine members of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States.  Those countries include Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.  The exception is the British Virgin Islands, whose official currency is the U.S. dollar.  We have been able to use either U.S. currency or the E.C. in Anguilla and Nevis. You just have to let the vendor know which you intend to use so that they can give you the correct amount.  However, keep in mind that if you use a cash machine on these islands, it…

    Anguilla Heritage Trail

    October 27, 2011 / No Comments

    Opening in June of 2010, the Anguilla Heritage Trail was a joint project supported by the Anguilla Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), the Anguilla National Trust (ANT), the Anguilla Tourist Board (ATB), the Anguilla Hotel and Tourism Association (AHTA) and individual and corporate donors.  The trail consists of ten stops around the island of historical significance, designated by a marker of an “H” surrounded by a trio of dolphins. This stop on the trail is Road Bay/Sandy Ground, and the marker reads: “The port below exported cotton, sugar, and salt in the 18th century. There was a large Amerindian village near the present beach.”

    Hydroponic Vegetables at the Cuisinart, Anguilla

    October 21, 2011 / No Comments

    Dr. Howard Resh explains how to grow so many great fresh vegetables and herbs in the regular sun and heat on Anguilla.  All that sun is great when you are on the beach with a drink in your hand, but extreme temperatures make it difficult to maintain a crop.  Cuisinart operates a hydroponic farm where they grow vegetables and herbs in water.  Take a tour, operated Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. Read more about the farm here…
