looking forward to a late winter trip to Antigua (first time), but we hold BVI as our benchmark for the vacation place we think is our favorite.
fwiw - we were land based for the most part, rented a one-bedroom apartment in Cane Garden Bay for 8 nights. charted a boat and captain (Big Sexy) for a day to hit the Soggy Dollar, then over to the Willie T in the afternoon. can't wait to return, next time will either be on a cat with friends, or split the trip into 3-4 days on each of these islands: Tortola (CGB is a blast - happy hour every day at Myetts, burgers at Stanleys!), Jost Van Dyke (gotta get back to the Soggy and Ivans), and Anegada (need some serious chill time and lobsters).
