Caribbean Vacation
Magic Moments and
Special Anguilla Photos

Anguilla is a magical Caribbean vacation island, in a beautiful sea. Everything that you see and experience is special in its own way.

But there are always those moments in a vacation, that are not just special, they are "super special"! So outstanding that you would go back just to experience those magical moments all over again.

Well, while living in Anguilla for one month back in 2002, we had quite a few "super special" experiences of our own! But how do I pick the most special moment on this Caribbean vacation?

It wasn't easy to narrow all of them down to just one. So I set some criteria. For example, the best "must-do" must be easy to accomplish, inexpensive, and of course create an Anguilla photo in my brain that I will never forget!

So, what is the #1 "must do"-"super special" Caribbean vacation moment in Anguilla?

Going to the Malliouhana resort, to have drinks and snacks while watching the sun radiate its last few rays on the turquoise water, before disappearing slowly behind the sea.

The sunset from Malliouhana in itself is sublime, but our favorite drinks make it perfect. My Dad has a rum punch, which he declares as excellent although not as strong as the rum punch at Palm Grove. My Mom has a Carib beer. But my folks are boring...

My sister and I each have a cherry coke. But this isn't any regular cherry coke... this is a serious cherry coke! They mix Coke with a cherry syrup and then put real cherries in the drinks.

Mmm... delicious!

Just when we sit down, my dad pulls out his camera to turn this "super special" Anguilla moment, into some "super special" Anguilla photos...

We have just arrived, and can't wait
to have our drinks, snacks, and to see
the beautiful Caribbean vacation sunset!

Just as the sun was disappearing,
our drinks were disappearing too!

One last final picture of my sister and I.
We're ready to leave, our Cokes are done...
and so is the day.
