Coming Up: The Adventurer Next Door -
My Friend Leslie In Antigua
Just recently, my good friend Leslie went on a very spontaneous
trip to Antigua with a friend from work. It was a simple package
deal and they booked it almost last minute. On this trip Leslie
had a chance to explore the island, meet some locals and even to
spend several nights on a boat through her friend's connections.
This interview will show you that it's possible, even with a simple
package deal vacation, to get out there and explore the local destination.
Antigua is a beautiful tropical island in the Caribbean. At 14
miles long and 11 miles wide, It is the largest of the British Leeward
Islands and was Britain's most important naval base in the 18th
century. It's highest point us Boggy Peak (1319 ft) in the southwest
of the island. Antigua's coral reefs attract snorkellers and scuba
divers from all over the world, also because of the many shipwrecks
off its coast. It has an expansive winding coastline and beautiful
secluded beaches.
