Antigua is now one of the Caribbean's most popular destinations (Dec 14 2004 03:59 GMT) - Make Antigua a part of your next vacation plans: Famous for its beaches and its cricket players, tiny Antigua is now one of the Caribbean's most popular destinations.

After the British settled the island in the 1600s, it was for centuries little more than a giant sugar factory that produced sugar and rum to send home. Around Antigua, the tall brick chimneys of a hundred deserted and decaying sugar mills bear witness to that long colonial era. |

the eric update - day 162: an introduction to christmas consumerism! a narrowly averted disaster. (Dec 14 2004 03:58 GMT) - it's been awhile since we've ventured out to a local big box store with odin and today we decided to go on a little field trip to our local target to do a little christmas shopping. you might remember that small enclosed places with children, snot, and people that like to run up and touch the cute babies are bad because they put odin at increased risk for catching a cold. and since his lungs are still underdeveloped , and a bout with the cold or flu could send him quickly back... |
