I recently read an article from a fellow travel writer about how she had not traveled in two years, and regretted having missed a window to travel before the recent spike in COVID cases. I have to admit that I was hesitant to return to international travel given all the additional rules, and rules which seemed to change daily. I was fearful one of us would fail a test, tossing all our plans to the side.

Little did we know in January of 2020 that it would be a while before we could travel again. Luckily, we had the opportunity to travel to Anguilla, try some new restaurants and savor some of our favorites. This list is of the restaurants we return to year after year. They have proven to have the best food and service on the island. So we may be home for a bit, but we can plan our next trip, making certain we visit these places again in the future. Blanchards & Blanchard’s Beach Shack When I crave a cheeseburger, Blanchard’s Beach Shack is my place. It’s a great place to stop…

I love my time relaxing on the beach, but I’m always up for a little adventure, so on our January 2020 visit to Anguilla, we booked a trip with Anguilla’s Rum & Reel Charters. Anguilla’s Rum & Reel Charters offers a variety of tours, including half and full-day trips for fishing, snorkeling and sightseeing. You may have a particular destination in mind like Sandy Island or Prickly Pear, or maybe you just want to take a trip around the island. Chris at Anguilla Charters can design the trip so you can plan the perfect day. We booked a half-day trip and got 10% off with our Anguilla card! As our…
