Money

See the opening pages of each chapter for details on which currencies are used on each island. The main currencies in the region:

Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$)
US dollar (US$) accepted almost everywhere
Euro ()
Netherlands Antillean guilder (NAf/ANG) there are plans to replace this currency
Visas
Citizens of most Western countries (Canada, the EU, the US etc) dont need visas for visits of under 90 days throughout the region
Cuba requires a tourist card (CUC$15/US$25), usually included with your airline ticket and issued upon check-in
Immigration officials may ask to see proof of a ticket out of the country
What to Take

The Caribbean islands are casual, so bring light, comfy clothes: a bathing suit, T-shirt and shorts will be your wardrobe. Add long pants or a dress for nights out. A few essentials:

sun hat
a small quick-dry towel, for when the whim to swim hits
flashlight with batteries (nighttime reading, blackouts)
plastic resealable bags essential for keeping things (cameras, air tickets, passports) dry on boat trips
Get in the Mood

Books and movies can fuel your Caribbean desires. Think James Bond movies: Dr No as Ursula Andress emerges from the water (Jamaica) or Thunderball s Junkanoo parade (the Bahamas). Pirates of the Caribbean , partly shot on St Vincent, captures the regions exciting past. For literary inspiration: The Firm by John Grisham, about financial shenanigans in the Cayman Islands; The Slave Ship: A Human History by Marcus Rediker, looking at the transportation of 12 million Africans to the US and Caribbean during slavery; and Dan Koeppels Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World , which explores the enormous impact of this ubiquitous fruit.

Why Go?

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue wedding bells immediately come to mind, but what about Anguilla? As rabid consumerism devours many Caribbean hot spots, this little limestone bump in the sea has, thus far, maintained its charming menagerie of clapboard shacks (something old) while quietly weaving stunning vacation properties (something new) into the mix. Visitors will discover a melting pot of cultures (something borrowed) set along mind-blowing beaches (something very, very blue).

Anguilla is, however, not the place for a vacation on a shoestring authenticity comes at a premium here. Although the island has garnered somewhat of a reputation as St-Barths stunt-double, it really is anything but. Anguilla flaunts its down-to-earth charms to the jetset subset who crave a vacation off the radar.

When to Go

From late December to early January, Anguilla is a veritable star safari that gives St-Barth a run for its money. In March the holiday rush finally starts to die down brilliant beaches are yours for the taking. From July to August prices drop to reasonable levels capitalize on breezy weather before the humidity kicks in. The lightest rainfall is generally from February to April and the heaviest from October to December. Inflated high-season rates start around mid-December and go until mid-April. Many hotels shut down for the entire month of September and often October as well.
