I'm posting this now because I will probably start tracking ticket prices as soon as tickets for January are available for sale.
I am probably looking at flying in on a Thursday then leaving sometime on the following Saturday or Sunday.
-
Whatever works for everyone else. My one request would be to keep this away from peak season if possible to reduce the number of a) idiots on holiday other than us and b) dollars to fly there for everyone
-
Thursday then leaving sometime on the following Saturday or Sunday.
So, like, a long weekend?
-
Well, an extremely long weekend (excuse the two bottles of wine + beer + whiskey I drank earlier).
Say Thursday is 1/12. I would plan on staying until at least 1/20, but more likely that Sunday.
-
I can't go mid to late Jan. Why can't we do it 1/8-1/16-ish...?
-

This doesn't work for two reasons: first, peak season isn't over till April or May. Second, you want lots of other holidaying idiots around cuz then everything will be open.
-
And there wouldn't be a decent pool of European dudes in skinny jeans for Sasha to choose from...
-
There won't be anyway.
-
Dude! Now she won't come at all!
-
Haha, well you can count me out straight away. only free june - oct.
I'll have exams in January most probably.
-
I removed every month that stated things were closed. I left in July, which is bad for Si.
A few thoughts on roughly when:
January:
-lotta people are still around from xmas/new years so lots of partying to do
-nicest weather of the year, warm and sunny but with a beautiful breeze
-still tourist season so everything's open
-but that means hotels and stuff aren't doing any cheap deals... more on that later
February:
-weather's still gorgeous
-my birthday at the end of the month w00t!
-super bowl at the beginning of the month w000t!
-still tourist season
March:
-weather's heating up a bit but still a nice breeze
-still tourist season, and gearing up for sailing week, so lots more yachties and parties in the yachtie area
April:
-weather's getting pretty warm, but the water is clearer for snorkelling etc
-sailing week at the end of the month, which is basically a three-week-long party (there's some sailing somewhere in there too, I guess)
-because it's sailing week, hotels etc are booked up way in advance and go for premium rates
May:
-weather's heating up pretty nicely, still a decent breeze
-sailing week over, tourist season is done, restaurants and stuff start closing for the summer (those that close, anyway)
-cheaper accomodation rates start
June:
-hot
-water is beautiful, warm, clear, and calm
-hurricane season starts
-island's kinda dead
-my own vacation tends to start sometime in mid to late June
July:
-really hot
-water stays gorgeous
-people start coming back for summer, partying ensues
-I tend to be away for some of the month (although if we plan far enough in advance, I can always rearrange that if June or July worked particularly well for people)
-hurricane season
August:
-even hotter. breeze starts dying
-everyone's back for summer, lotta partying going on. bars are full every night of the week
-hurricane season
October:
-breeze starts coming back. thank fuck. october starts out pretty warm and ends up gorgeous
-places that closed for summer start opening back up
-cheaper rates may still be had
-still hurricane season, but feels safer than September
November:
-lovely weather. days are pretty nice and nights are beautiful
-hurricane season is over!
-island's back in full swing
December:
-best weather of the year
-probably my favourite time of the year here, actually
-from mid December onwards, everyone comes back to the island for xmas/new years, so the partying is great
-
January was the month that we decided, because it's far enough away to save for but not years away.
-
banal wants us to go when sakhi can go. so he can go and hit on the underage pussy. gooosssh.
-
been there, done that.
-
I'm not underage in the UK or Australia
-
I'm not underage in the UK or Australia
but we'd be in Antigua, wouldn't we?
-
Take Zooms boat into international waters.
-
"Hey Aaron, we want to take this girl out to the ocean for a few hours. Yeah. By the way, where were those 40-pound weights again? I need to use them for something."
-
Keep yer filthy hands off my ballast.
-

My point was neither of us'd class 16 as underage.
..not to mention i'd be 18 then.
-
Not in January you wouldnt.
-
Don't ruin this for him.
-
Not in January you wouldnt.
I wouldnt go in Jan anyway.
-
Here we go ...
-
I'm not underage in the UK or Australia
but we'd be in Antigua, wouldn't we?
She's not underage here either.
-
Besides, I think they have underaged girls there already. You don't need to try to import one.
-
It's true, we do. It's great - I keep getting older, and they stay the same age.
-
COuld anyone do around Easter?
-
i can do whenever C.
-
I just re-read this and realized we are talking 2011, which is great. 2010 Jan wouldnt be in my budget especially since I'm trying to get to Deutschland this summer.
Therefore, I might be able to do Jan 2011, depending on my job !
-
What's a job?
Is it that thing that I go to do between getting drunk, or is it that other thing I start to get drunk at before I come home and get pandafaced?
-
It seems my wife wants to come along. If this does happen, we'll be in our own accommodations. I wasn't expecting this snag.
-
Hey at least you'll be getting some, no?
-
no?
-
Likely not.
-
No holiday sex? That's grounds for divorce.
-
No holiday sex? That's grounds for divorce not taking the bitch, because she's going to be bitch-slapped by Sasha the moment she sets foot on land
-
hahaha and rightly so.
-
That really WAS my thought ...
-
I'm thinking this:
Antigua for New Years?
Anyone else dig?
-
Antigua for New Years might have to happen for me, because I just found out that semesters at my new school start on/around Jan. 11.
-
this weird circle jerk makes me feel left out. :-\
-
Antigua for NYE won't happen for me, no money or vacation time.
-
that would apply to Antigua at any time, right?
I can go whenever, happy to follow the crowd. My bet is that only about 3 people show up anyway :P
-

me? no, i could totally do Jan. 2011
-
That's what we're talking, EOY 2010 or Jan 2011
-
I couldnt get to Antigua NYE 2010... I could NYE 2011.
-
The E is important.
-
Not really. Blow and shrooms are way more fun.
-

Im not going if hip's not going.
-

Whats the odd's of you getting out of Portland and showing in Antigua?
Si, can you make book on that?
-
Thrash & Commie, star-cross'd lovers
-
My bet is that only about 3 people show up anyway :P
And they'd be southern hemisphere British colonial types...
-
Wassat y'say mate?
-
I do believe I will be there btw December 30, 2010 and Jan 6, 2011. I have some money coming at the end of this month that I will use that to pay for the trip.
-
I passed on a free Yankee 28 sloop today. It needed $600 in work that I can't afford just now. Would be worth ten times that repaired.
-
Ballpark: What would it cost to make you a business ?
-
Hmmm...
Form an LLC, liability coverage, yard space, warehouse space, boat stands, crew of 4, capital, credit accounts...
Not worth it when you consider I have little chance of selling anything worthwhile before March 15th. Anyway i don't want the hassle. I need to stay small. I listed my first item on ebay today. I'm thinking that salvage resale will carry me through the winter, I'll have nearly $8K to move come Spring.
Going to sell my Airstream.
-
I just realized today that this vacation will happen like a week after I complete my master's degree. Pretty awesome. I should have no serious obligation and work will be fine if I take a few weeks off to celebrate.
-
I just signed on a Big gig in April-May, which is enough to get me to and from Antigua, but I couldnt do NYE as NYD is a big deal here in philly and I don't like to be out of town for that!
Not that antigua wouldnt be down right badass
-
I have a camera that I always forget to do anything with. Over the next couple months I'll try and get some pics of various shit and post 'em here so you guys can get a preview of sorts.

The world won't end if you miss the mummers ONE FUCKING TIME....
-
Didn't they cancel that shit last year or something?
-
AHAHAHAHAHA!
-
First off, its not shit, it's men in women's clothes and little umbrellas, brass bands and flowing booze - it's a god damned tradition.
... and the city wouldnt pay for it last year, but someone raised the money at the last minute... and the same went with this year! The parade will happen!
-
Meh. I can go to Dupont Circle any hour of any day and see that...
-
Meh. I can go to Dupont Circle harajuku any hour of any day and see that...
-
Meh. I can go to Dupont Circle Te Puke any hour of any day and see that...
-
Every year in July there are two pre-carnival "fetes" (Caribbean lingo meaning seriously big parties that are generally all-you-can-drink and all-night affairs) that are widely regarded as being two of the best parties of the whole year. And I miss them both almost every year cuz that's when I usually take my holiday.
And every year, when I'm about to go away, without fail someone will comment that it sucks that I'm gonna miss the glow fete and/or blue jeans fete. And every year, without fail, I'll tell them that no way does it suck, while they're gonna be making the best of yet another couple weekends in Antigua, I'll be off somewhere else doing something completely different.
-
All I know is that there needs to be flipcup - US vs. World.
-
I don't know this game = trouble.
I demand the right to bring a hanafuda deck, I'll tell you what to drink as we go
-

-
(disregard that shit about drinking and driving and alcohol poisoning)
Only sissyboys and the French give that shit a second thought anyway...
-
Actually, even our sissyboys and French don't give a fuck about that stuff here!
-
Based on the facebook invite, flipcup tournament should be on!
-
Haha yeah man, you coming?
-
I'm sorely tempted, but I'm going to wait for the big group next year.
I think I'm going to lock my money up in a cd to specifically prevent myself from doing anything until then.
-
I can be in Antigua from London on 31/12/2010. I already priced return flights London - Antigua, roughly A$1000 return.
I can get to London from Oz return for roughly the same... so not to shabby price wise.
-
I think I'm gonna bail.
-
I think I'm gonna bail.
Boat's leaking?
-
BA DUM CHING
-
Yeah its leaking baggage.
-

What is the "big group"?
-
More l-g people than just me going down, presumably.
-
So far it's everyone except Zoomie (married), Eric (po') and Thrash (Thrash) going
-
Oh, fuck off ...
I had a LEGITIMATE reason, via a doctor, to not go ...
It kills me I couldn't ...
You know what; fuck it ...
Rib on ...
I'm SOOO gonna fuck you over a barrel when I meet you ...
-
I'll pay to watch that...
but really dude, we all know you loathe to leave JAX...
-
this might help...

-
Probably the only way I'll ever see Antigua...
-

I stopped giving a shit about your reasons when you stopped having the decency to let me know what was up with your schedule so I could plan accordingly.
-
I can't wait to come! I knew all the poor married people and people from JAX would bail. I know Kyle will go, brook, me, nick, luke, ian...
-
I can't wait to come!
There's a crude joke to be made here, possibly.
-
And that said, Antigua can't wait for you to come either!
-

Just make sure that the first night is spent introducing her to dudes, rather than going to eat without her.
-
just make sure she tells you her flight details
-
So it's Jan. 2011? I'm so there! Maybe will drag Carolyn along too!
-
I'm buying my ticket for this tomorrow. Anyone want to send me the link of a really good deal?!?!
-
Can you even buy tickets this far ahead? And have we decided on set dates?
-
haha, somebody forgot to give you access to that thread ! classic.
-
The furthest out I've seen tickets available so far is November 2010.
-
I will buy one at the end of the month then. I am planning on getting there the 30th of December and leaving the 5th of January. I think that will be a long enough stay. If no on else wants to go then or can't then that is fine. I don't need a bunch of people around to lay naked on the beach all day.
-
... but it'd be nice
-

Most airlines book out to 330 days... looks like it'll be February when I sort my shit for end of 2010...

Probably can't make that schedule... wife wants to go to Europe from Dec 25 - Jan 5, then I was going to fly over to Antigua for 5-6 days and head back
Si, do we want to be on the island for New Years?
-
New Years is always a blast, but really any time between about December 20th and January 10th is the most fun time of the year here.
-
You have said that about 6 different times of the year.... im sure of it... i think.
-
You're right,
but he lurves his island!
Sounds like a perfect Christmas present for someone to give themselves:
3 weeks in Antigua, with a friend to show you the best of the best there.
<sigh>
Anyone wanna come down to Beerville? Bet we could get some KILLER deals on motels! rofl
-
Abandoned motels?
-
I have a friend that can fly me over there ...
... we used to do "day trips" to the Bahamas
