Antigua Travel Tips

Since my last post was all about Antigua, I thought it would be nice if follow it up with some Antigua travel tips. I do remember a few after reading about them from some blogs and travel sites yesterday.

Here goes:

1. Bring along your bug sprays since we have lots of bugs in Antigua.
2. You can get best rates and save lots of money by traveling to Antigua during summer of fall.
3. Caribbean sun rays are quite damaging, bring along your favorite sun blocks and lotions.
4. Bring along some hats and sunglasses.
5. Antigua has a $20 departure tax.
6. Shopping is best done at Heritage and Redcliffe Quays.
7. Antiguan local time is according to Atlantic Standard Time
8. You are expected to leave some tips
9. If you want to rent a car, go ahead but remember that you will be driving on the left hand side of the road.
10. Make sure that you are well insured. Better take comprehensive travel insurance if you don’t have one.
11. No sandals please. Better bring along your sneakers or beach shoes.
12. Vaccinations are not required but do check before going.
13. Most businesses are open from Monday to Saturday.
14. Like any other islands in the world, you can dress conservatively except maybe in hotels and some fancy restaurants where you will be required to wear jackets.
