Anguilla, BWI

November 2003

Getting there ...
 

You fly from Boston to San Juan to Anguilla ... except the plane to Anguilla doesn't go because there is 6" of water on their runway. The captain explains it would be more like a ditching than a landing.

   
So, we fly to St. Martin instead where American Airlines puts us up in a part casino, part whorehouse. Cindy loses $2-3 at the slots. It's 2:00 in the morning and it's pouring.
The next day, we take the 1/2 hour ferry from Marigot, St. Martin to Blowing Point, Anguilla and it's still pouring.
Anguilla is said to be a tiny, flat, arid island. It will rain for the next week.
