National Youth Awards
Youth Awards in Anguilla On September 27th 2014, the first National Youth Awards was held at Flavours restaurant, La Vue hotel. When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see a large crowd of supporters for this event. Nashaine, Sherise and I were seated with the...
Blue Bar, Elvis and The PumpHouse
If you know me at all, you probably know that I aim for at least seven hours of sleep a night. I start my weekdays at 5:30am with exercise so I am usually in bed by 10:00pm on week nights. I have to have a good reason for a late night lime on a week day. Last...
Life Lessons Learned from Blogging
Life Lessons I am sitting at my table using my laptop which is on its last leg and I am in a reflective mood as I think about 'life lessons.' Nash is asleep which is rare as he seldom goes to bed before I do. The house and neighborhood are quiet except for the...
Vacation in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Stingray at Crocus Bay
Before the Stingray 🙂 It was the end of a normal work day for Nash and I. While most other persons were heading home, Nash and I drove to Crocus Bay still in our work attire. This is not something we do often but I really wanted to get a picture of the beach for one...
Ani Villas Relay Race

South Valley Street Fair 2014
The Fair The morning of the South Valley Street Fair 2014 was dark and rainy . This was because Anguilla was experiencing the effects from the outskirts of Tropical Storm Bertha. Even though it was raining and windy my Facebook timeline showed persons who ventured out...
A day on Dog Island – Anguilla
More about Dog Island Many people are at a loss as to how the little island paradise Dog Island got its name. It is especially funny since there are no dogs on the island. However, a few believe that the first chart mappers gave it that name because they...
Summer Days – Shoal Bay
Summer Days at Shoal Bay Anguilla We arrived at Shoal Bay Beach this evening just about 6:00pm. It is summer so we have daylight until just about 7pm. The first words out of my mouth to Nash were ‘wow, this is beautiful’ as I took in the expanse of the ocean,...
Sunset in Anguilla
Sunset in Anguilla In Anguilla, it is easy to capture an amazing and beautiful sunset. In the beauty of the setting sun, I find myself frozen for those few moments as the beautiful Caribbean day ends and night comes quickly upon us. It is an amazing thought that the...
A Day at Little Bay Anguilla
Little Bay Anguilla About a week ago a few of my friends decided that we would spend the holiday at Little Bay. I love Little Bay. The water there is so smooth and crystal clear, so of course I agreed. There were two options for us, boat it from Crocus Bay or...

To Windward Point! – My Anguilla Experience
Exploring Windward Point Area Anyone who knows me knows that I hate exercising. Unlike Shelly and Nash, I do not find any kind of joy in running, jogging, gym or any traditional forms of exercise. The most “exercise” I usually get on a daily basis is watching...
