MY ANTIGUAN VACATION

Submitted by Daniel
My trip to Antuiga was back in August 2016, but I still remember the details quite vividly. My fiancé and I decided to travel to this beautiful island for a romantic vacation and for a while, escape the hustle of the busy New York lifestyle. Before the visit, I had very little knowledge about Antigua but we both needed the vacation and the Caribbean sounded inviting, so Antigua it was! We’ re both so gald we went because this has been our best vacation experience to date, and without a doubt, I highly recommend that everyone should visit this island at least once in their lifetime.
We stayed at the Blue Waters Resort and Spa.
Antigua is located in the Caribbean sea. The island boasts of its beautiful shoreline and magnificent beaches and it is no idle boast- I was blown away by its natural beauty. With its warm climate, one can bask in the sun for the entire day while the cool breeze whispers over your body, temporarily transporting you to heaven.
Kite Surfing
I have always dreamed of kitesurfing. This was one of the first things I requested of my tour guide. I was given few basic lessons and in less than 30 minutes, I was in the water trying it out. It really is a thrilling, exciting experience. Not for the faint of heart, though, but for those who relish the adrenaline rush. Great experience!
Scuba Diving
My fiancé and I talked a lot about doing this together and being in Antigua gave us the best opportunity to attempt it. The marine life was simply breath-taking and every minute we spent underwater gave us a greater appreciation of the beauty that exists in the universe. We also got a chance to see the Andes wreck, a ship that sunk on the shores of Antigua. Definitely a must-do for visitors who don’ t have a fear of water.
