I have to third the notion for Shirley Heights. Visited there for the first time last month while doing my conversion training, and it was great! Try to make it for the steel pan music. You won't be able to keep your waist still. Sorry, can't help you with the flying part.

Try Norman Aviation. They have a single (Arrow?) they could rent out.

Shirley heights?

Wasn't that place called the Lookout? Overlooking Nelson's Dockyard? You are right about the steel drum band, awesome....

If you have time, go for a 1 day cruise on the Jolly Roger. Don't know if its still operating but was always a good day out.

I lived in Antigua as a child and loved it, went back after A-level's with some mates before heading off to Uni and had the time of our lives. Was there over carnival and specifically Juvee and danced on the Burning Flames float at 9am after pulling an all-nighter....good times!

Dang. I guess that also means that no flight instructing is taking place. Was about to call to inquire about a flight instructor job. Oh well. Guess the search continues.

I guess you could still call to enquire afterall, they only have one flight instructor.........but then again I doubt they could afford to pay you
