Great post!

First visit was on a cruise ship in 1993. We enjoyed the 12 meter racing and then some shopping on Front Street.

First trip we stayed on the island was in 1997 to celebrate our 20th anniversary (a year late). All I can say is it was Magical!

Stayed (along with our best friends) at L'Esplande - a real gem. First beach we visited was Friar's. Will always remember driving done that rocky dirt lane that finally ended at a beautiful beach at sunset. Many meals in Grand Case as we really knew nothing about the island. Took the Scoobie Doo day trip to Anguilla. Discovered Orient Beach and have been going back ever since.

We continue to visit every year or 2 and have stayed many places and done many things. Always a favorite.

Thanks for starting this thread.
