    On Anguilla everybody sails, especially the kids

    ByEileen Ogintz January 17, 2013July 12, 2021

    The Anguilla Youth Sailing Club that teaches local as well as visiting kids to sail (look for programs through the Viceroy Hotel and others) “Kids really rally round the boat racing…we start to teach them at age four,” says Paul Koeniger, who oversees the youth sailing club.

    Exploring African-American history in Washington, D.C., and beyond

    ByEileen Ogintz January 17, 2013July 9, 2021

    This January, of course, also marks the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and I can’t think of a better time than this winter — February is Black History Month — to explore civil rights in Washington and beyond.

    A day well spent at the stunning new Viceroy Anguilla

    ByEileen Ogintz January 16, 2013July 7, 2021

    We spent the afternoon at the stunning Viceroy Resort down the road from where we are staying that employs 600 people for their 166 rooms. Did I mention the five-bedroom villas that rent for as much as $17,500 a night?

    Time for a little relaxation and indulgence at the CuisinArt Anguilla

    ByEileen Ogintz January 15, 2013June 28, 2023

    At the CuisinArt Resort in Anguila. I indulged in a facial (anti-aging of course) and a soak in the “healing waters” pool that offers a combination, I’m told, of mineral sea salt and fresh water that is supposed to help my aching knee.

    Five days in Anguilla on a best girlfriends getaway

    ByEileen Ogintz January 14, 2013July 12, 2021

    We’re here on a girlfriends’ getaway ensconced in a huge three-bedroom villa with its own pool, kitchen, and beach. I’m sitting aside the pool and hear the crashing waves as I write this. Did I mention the mile-long beach?

    Repeat after me: “There is no such thing as a perfect vacation”

    ByEileen Ogintz January 6, 2013June 28, 2023

    I wish the travel industry would stop trying to convince us that if we only stay at this hotel, chose that cruise line or use a particular credit card, the kids won’t bicker, rooms will be ready when we arrive without any delays, of course, and all will be wonderful every moment.
