We're in the same age group and for the last few years we have been traveling to Antigua in mid-December to stay at the Sandals Resort. Sandals has a beautiful property with several pools, restaurants etc. We usually get the non-concierge level room by one of the pools. <BR>Sandals will take you to the Sunday event (fee) at Shirley Heights to see the sun set over the ocean and mountains with live steel band music, barbecue and drinks. <BR>We hired a driver to take us around the island and stop where we wanted--Devil's Bridge, a sugar mill--few beaches--Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbor to see the yachts etc. <BR>There are all types of sailing excursions available including an all day sail to Barbuda.<BR>Also you might like St. Martin on the French side--we stay at Esmeralda Resort and drive to the many outstanding restaurants in Grand Case or Marigot at night--Le Pressoir is great. There are at least six beach bars on Orient Beach to go to for lunch. A smaller less expensive property is the L'Hoste Hotel also on Orient Beach.<BR> <BR>
