If you flew out of EWR, how did you end up in Antigua? I assume it was United and they are non-stop out of EWR. Were you on another airline? Curious to know. Thanks. Curious about the Antigua stop as well.

SammyM, that burger really made me miss Champps back home.
No, I didn’t die; I just had three tests to study for.
Now, to continue.....
Day 5 (March 27, 2019)
I Did: My boyfriend and I took a snorkeling tour! The tour was about eight hours long, and we spent most of our time in a boat, with stops in Happy Bay, Grand Case, and Green Cay. Some of it was swimming and some was actually snorkeling. The water was clear and we could see EVERYTHING! The tour provided all the equipment. I Ate: I had a salad baguette on the tour. We then returned to Le Piment and I had another steak without the salad this time. I Bought: I bought the tour. It was a present for my boyfriend’s 19th birthday. I Wore: I wore a rash guard shirt and bikini bottoms on the boat, but was able to go full bikini underwater. I wore a summer dress for dinner. I Thought: Yay! No jellyfish! Quote:
BF: I see a jellyfish! (knowing I hate those things) Me: I see a cat! (knowing he hates those things)

I think we’re making a mountain out of a molehill with reference to the ‘poor girl’ comment since I believe it was the OP who said it in the first place.
Respectfully,

BeachKitten, you are correct. My parents paid for everything except a few souvineers I got and the Tennis lesson.
Day 7 (March 29, 2019)
I Did: It was a quad day! We started in Philipsburg, where we were given (thankfully clean!) helmets. We first stopped at Maho Bay, where we saw planes flying over us. We also stopped at Marigot, where we were given time to shop, and Rotary Lookout Point, where they let us dip our feet in the water to cool off. We finished off the tour at Great Bay, where we spent an hour or so on the boardwalk. I Ate: There was a Hard Rock Cafe in Philipsburg! I have chicken Fajitas. I Bought: A bracelet at Marigot. I Wore: I wore a tee shirt an gym shorts. I Thought: Please don’t let me be achy all over tomorrow!

Day 8 (March 30, 2019)
I Did: We went horseback riding! We went to Lucky Stables and had a trail ride with Amber. Unlike what I’ve heard about Caribbean horses, these ones looked like they were healthy and cared for. The horses even went in the water! It was a great surprise, even though my pants ended up soaked at the legs! By the way, if you want pics, they can text you them directly. Afterwards, the four of us went to Orient Beach (the south end) one last time, where we ate at Perch Lite, and my boyfriend and I took a stroll on the beach. I Ate: I had one last cheeseburger. I Bought: Nothing. I’m still a poor girl! I Wore: I wore jeans and a tee for the horseback riding. I planned a crop top to wear for Pedro’s and the beach, but since it was in the shady, I ended up spending my time there in my birthday suit! I Thought: It was no doubt a great trip, but I was even more psyched when I found out we’re coming back for my birthday in July!

I'm enjoying your updates. And you're lucky enough to be returning in just 3 months. My birthday's also in July & we've been on the island numerous times then. Some places are closed for low season, but we never had trouble finding a place to eat. And, as Sammy says - Birthday/birthday suit/Orient Beach - what could be better?
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

I know, I had no idea we were coming back for my 18th birthday until it was announced at Perch.
I will not be spending my birthday in my birthday suit, though. July’s Trip Report will explain everything.

Great trip report! Going for my first time in July with boyfriend. Can't wait to experience Orient and the other CO beaches. USA attitudes towards nudity is lame, probably why I find myself continuing to explore French islands! It’s funny that was brought up. Before we went to St. Martin, nobody had seen me naked since I was six but me behind closed doors. Now that I’m back, I strangely went back to being concerned about my privacy again, including locking doors around the house when I change. I guess it’s a local vibe or something....
