Three Days in Anguilla, Anguilla, Anguilla
It has been a few years since I’ve been to the Caribbean, and I always like visiting a tropical destination during Colorado’s snowy months. This year I selected a combination of three nearby islands; Anguilla, Saba, and St. Maarten.
My first stop was Anguilla via St. Maarten. There is not a direct flight from Denver to St. Maarten, so I had to go through Charlotte.
