Last questions before we go

Well, in 3 weeks we'll be enjoying the island. Just a couple more questions before we head out.

Driving: What's the trick to surviving island driving? I've heard it can be challenging.

Customs: Entering the island, what kinds of things need to be declared? I'm on prescription meds, but I have a copy of the prescription and a letter from the doctor.

Dolphin swim on Anguila: Anyone done this? Is it worth the price?

Thanks!

Al

The trick to driving is to be courteous not at all timid. There are very few stop signs and fewer stoplights, so you have to stick your nose out in an intersection and someone will let you go. Most times they will give their horn a little beep to let you know to go, then just gun it and go! Just make sure you return the favor whenever you have the opportunity.

nothing has to be declared upon entering.
and as far as the dolphin swim, please do some homework and read some reviews before you decide on that.
The facility in Anguilla has gotten many bad reviews and it is really not healthy for dolphins to be in captivity. here is a link you might be interested in:

There are no tricks to the driving. Just take the insurance and drive.

GPS would be great but not sure they have it.

Enjoy your trip
