thanks..........I saw the pictures........and your review covered this.......

did they have hucksters in town........or could you shop in peace and quiet?

Towards the ship there were a few, but they stayed near the shops. They also had a few cabies with attitudes in Antigua. Our least favorite cab rides....

Trip out to the beach, the cab driver didn't say a word - normally they tell you about the island. He didn't pick us up at the required time, but of course there were others waiting. But the one coming back argued with two pedestrians and I thought they were gonna fight or something. Not the most professional driver in the world. (don't get into the blue Buick station wagon that smells like Ganja)

Boy thanks............we were thiinking of hiring a cab for a 3 hour tour or something like that.........we may have to rethink that one

There are several companies at the pier. There are also tour companies at the pier. I'm sure there are some good ones too. I don't know of any though.... Sorry! Wish I did.

The guy in the Buick would not have been a first choice...he was...available to take us from the beach to the pier.
