We debated going back there for our tenth anniversary this summer, but it was either a week on Guana or two weeks on Anguilla, and you know which one won out! When we honeymooned there, we got a phenomenal deal on the place through skyauction (back when it had more upscale places listed) for only $250/night. It was never offered for auction again on that site, as far as I'm aware!As the Crowe Flies and Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110661562901480120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-32786366835895130832013-09-23T13:12:45.364-04:002013-09-23T13:12:45.364-04:00Thanks for a lovely recap of your last trip to Ang...Thanks for a lovely recap of your last trip to Anguilla in anticipation of your next!<br />How lucky are you?!<br />I do like your painting. I am not familiar with the artist so I hope he will have some of his work on display when we next visit.<br />How lovely to have honeymooned on Guana. We were lucky enough to have a private tour of the island when we sailed in the BVIs a few years ago and we adored that idyllic and beautiful hideaway - maybe one day.<br />Thanks for the report, makes me want to start planning for my next holiday to Anguilla even though it will be next summer.Jan Clydesdalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-24371532006643811192013-09-23T11:02:31.749-04:002013-09-23T11:02:31.749-04:00Aha, you're quite right.
