The longer we are away…..the more we miss it………………….every time I look at the pictures I relive our trip.

For anyone who may think the Caribbean may be too hot in the summer, let me say…..it’s HOTTER and more HUMID in NYC! The trade winds are always blowing and then you have the incredible water to dip into. One thing Anguilla has plenty of is GOOD RESTAURANTS, and the hotel we stay in, Cap Juluca, grows their own herbs and vegetables. There are also local growers that farm vegetables…..most islands import them. The variety of plants and flowers is outstanding, and they have nature walks with signs posted to let you know the names of each plant…………but…most of the time you could find us sitting under our umbrella reading……only moving …to move the chairs into the shade……………..what a life…….Speaking to the ladies in the office, exclaiming about the views and how beautiful everything was, they confessed that living there they don’t pay much attention…..they need two weeks in NYC’s cement jungle, and then they would really appreciate what they have!

We spent most of our time on the beach or taking a dip in our plunge pool, but we did take a break from relaxing by playing a little croquet. The suite was beautiful and we hated to leave!

Once again, we had a wonderful time in Anguilla. Every flowering plant was bursting with the color only Mother Nature can provide. We arrived in Anguilla, after landing in Saint Maarten where we were met by the hotel representatives, and headed straight for the “Fun Time” launch to take the 25 minute ride over to the island. What we love about Anguilla is there are no big airports, only small private jets land there, and there is no big harbor for the cruise ships to dock……so the island is very quiet and laid back. We had a magnificent villa with a living room, dining room, full kitchen, three terraces, a huge bedroom and bathroom and a wonderful pool…………it was paradise…….I also had my own golf cart to tool around the property………..driving on the left is tricky!………..Cap Juluca is HEAVEN on earth!

Tomorrow, we leave on our trip to our piece of PARADISE in the Caribbean……and we can hardly wait to put our toes in that clear, warm aqua blue water! Jac has taken a boat load of Feather Jerseys, and one of her favorite pieces is the FEATHER JERSEY HOODED Tunic, A. It’s floaty and cool and so much more fun and LIGHT WEIGHT than a zip front hoodie!! I have limited her to one color, but maybe two. Don’t say poor Jac she has enough different outfits for every day and  NIGHT we are there…..and then some. She’s planning on wearing it with her white cotton leggings, and gold sandals….she ordered two pairs of leggings  in white from QVC before they sold out………the reviews on this piece have been terrific and the colors are so summer time and fresh. I know many of you have now become Feather Jersey lovers and many pieces are starting to disappear in sizes and colors…………..if you haven’t tried it….I suggest you do before they are gone.
