Tradition Sailing Charters’ New Offering

January 30, 2014 By Dad Leave a Comment

Tradition Sailing Charters is back for a 2nd year of romantic sailing cruises, reminiscent of decades ago. (If you’re not familiar with Tradition, read about Nori’s day out with them).

They report that they have already had some “great sailing excursions with gorgeous weather and lovely guests.” Guests continue to rave about their becoming-famous outings such as the “Tropical Cay Lobster Lunch Cruise” (click on image for easy-viewing full-sized version, opens in new browser window or tab)…

AARF Has Puppies. Bring One Home!

January 27, 2014 By Dad Leave a Comment

AARF (Anguilla Animal Rescue Foundation) has had a recent influx of puppies available for adoption.  We’re passing along this information from them. Click on photos for larger version of images.Bingo at AARF

We have some very nice puppies at the AARF Adoption Centre and Shelter who are waiting for you to come and meet them.

Bingo is a male around four months old, very nice and easy to be with.  He is on the shy side and enjoys loving attention.  Bingo is learning how to walk on a leash.

Spam, Siri, and Zip are sisters, playful and full of puppy energy and ready for their forever homes.

Tap and Sync are females around two months old.  Someone dropped them off at the dump and fortunately they were quickly found and brought to the shelter where they are available for adoption.

Bing is a beautiful girl around 11 weeks of age.  She looks like she might be part lab…

Information about Adoptions

The adoption fee for puppies is $25.  That includes their first vaccination and deworming, $10 off their second and third vaccinations (they need a series of three to be protected from common and serious diseases), and their spay/neuter surgery when they are around six months old.  The AARF Adoption Centre and Shelter is located within Morlens Veterinary Clinic near the Sandy Hill roundabout.  For directions, see our website, www.aarf.ai.

The shelter and adoption centre will be open this week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30-12:30 and 3:30-5:00.  We expect to be open on Saturday from 9:30-12:30 but it’s best to call first (264.581.4600).  We will be closed on Thursday.  We invite you to come and meet all of our puppies.  We don’t have any kittens right now but we will be happy to take your contact information and let you know when some are available.

Can’t Adopt but Want to Help?

If you are flying to the Northeast you can help get puppies to loving forever homes by taking them to one of our adoptive families or rescue friends.  You will be saving a very precious life.  All you have to do is take the puppy with you in the cabin of your plane, where she will sit in her soft carrier under the seat in front of you.
You will be met at the airport by one of our rescue partners or by the adoptive family.  All of the puppy’s expenses will be covered.  It’s fun to travel with a puppy, you’ll have lots of admiring fellow travelers coming to talk to you, and you will be a very significant part of the puppy’s future.

If you are flying from Anguilla or St. Maarten and can take a puppy with you, or if you would like more information about the process, send us an email at [email protected] or call us on the shelter phone at 476.2731.  This is extremely important rescue work that you can do with very little effort, and have a life changing impact.

Our current needs are flights to Boston, Hartford, Providence, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, Toronto and other airports within driving distance.  If you are flying to another location, we may also be able to find someone at your home airport to help.  We’ve recently put some happy travel photos on our website’s home page, check them out at www.aarf.ai.

Please Spread the Word

Spread the word about our puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats through social media, when you meet people on the beach, however you can.  There are a lot of visitors to Anguilla who do not know about AARF and our need for adoptions and transports, and who would be happy to help once they became aware.

Note From Ken

Cute, cute, cute. And it looks like someone at AARF went “techie” naming these gorgeous little puppies… Bing, Zip, Spam, Siri, Sync, Tap. Where’s Google? 😉

Take an Anguillian puppy home. You’ll have a loving and loyal reminder of Anguilla forever AND save a life at the same time.

What’s New At Ani Villas Anguilla?

January 12, 2014 By Dad Leave a Comment

Ani Villas, perched on the cliff edge of Little Bay, starts the year off with a luxury bang, introducing several new improvements this year. In the few years of its existence, Ani has become an icon of ultra-luxury, complete with its $250,000 Holiday Indulgence (round-trip travel in private yet is included, of course).

How could Ani possibly be improved? Here is what’s new for 2014…

Chef Kelston “Sweets” Connor joins Ani Villas as Executive Chef. Sweets served several of our guests over the past 10 months and after consistent rave reviews, he is coming on board full time.

He is a true local talent, having honed his skills at several of the finest restaurants and hotels in Anguilla including Cap Juluca, Viceroy and Veya. His level of sophistication and ability to combine the best of local and international cuisine boil down to a simple result… Guests are loving his food.

Tennis Pro Denny Derrick

Tennis Pro Denny Derrick comes on board as in-house Tennis and Activity director. Over the last several years Denny was the head pro and ran the Tennis program at Cuisinart Resort.

Tennis lessons and programs for adults and kids alike are now offered at no additional cost to Ani guests. Denny also leads the mountain/trail bike riding excursions and instruction for other sports equipment on offer at Ani Villas, a great opportunity for the guests at Ani Villas to participate in some first rate sports instruction.

Denny is another local product, having grown up learning Tennis at the Anguilla Tennis Academy to become the island’s top seeded player while coaching in the children’s program of which he himself was a student.

6 seater golf carts

Ani Villas also took delivery of two sporty new 6-seater Golf Carts just in time for the holidays. The golf carts are free for guests to use – useful for hopping back and forth to our closest beaches – Limestone and Crocus Bay.

Ani offers full beach butler service on any of the island’s beaches. Limestone Bay, its “home” beach, is most popular for private outings and parties. The carts make it easy to hop back and forth for both guests and staff (for on-beach service).

One cart comes with the rental of each villas, or both for the estate as a whole.

The final addition, five Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUPs), rounds out the assortment of sports equipment at the villas. The SUP’s were custom made by E-tech Boards in California using all sustainable eco friendly materials – but more importantly ride smooth!

The boards range in size – 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 feet – for various heights and abilities – with sexy Ani Villas and Anguilla Flag graphics! The Ani Villas Team will deliver the boards to whatever beach our guests are visiting each day. Guests have been playing with them all over the island.

If, from this update, you are getting the sense that Ani is the ultimate in Anguillian vacation luxury, you would be absolutely right…

Anguilla Puppy Express and Other News from AARF

January 6, 2014 By Dad Leave a Comment

Here’s some news, information and requests from AARF that we’re happy to pass along. Sorry we don’t have any new darling puppy photos to show at the moment. There are none up for adoption at the moment! Good news for puppies!

Anguilla Puppy Express

Now that we are in the season when we have a lot of visitors, and many of our residents travel from Anguilla to the US and Canada, we’d like to ask you to consider bringing a puppy or kitten or two with you when you travel. We have rescue partners in various locations in the Northeast. They will meet you at the airport to receive the puppy and will find her a loving forever home. Sometimes an adoption is finalized before the flight, and you would be met by the new family.

We do not have enough adoptions into Anguilla families for all of the puppies and kittens who are surrendered, and our international rescue efforts not only save the lives of many, many animals but provide them with wonderful forever families. All of the puppy’s expenses will be paid for; you just have to make a reservation with your airline and take the puppy in the cabin with you. If you can help, or if you have any questions about transporting, please email us at [email protected].

Of course we’d love to have you adopt a puppy or kitten yourself as well! If you want to help the Anguilla Puppy Express by giving a donation, you can make a contribution at the shelter, by mail, or on our website via PayPal. Just make a notation that it’s for the Puppy Express. Donations are much appreciated as they help us cover the costs for an adoption that might otherwise not happen.

Happy Stories on Facebook

More and more people are sharing their Anguilla puppy/kitten stories on Facebook and it’s a fun way to share and to see our little ones grow with their families. AARF has a Facebook page called Aarf Anguilla. There is a new group that Kevin Lloyd just started called Anguillan Pet Owners (URL not available yet). Fly-A-Pup; Saving Anguillan Pups is another great site run by our friends Klara and Rosie.

Our rescue partner Sue in NJ has Island Puppy Rescue International. Our rescue partner Elena in CT has The Animal Experts. Our rescue partner Heather in PA has Critter Corral Inc. Our rescue partner Lisa in Toronto has Lisa’s Small Dog Rescue. Our rescue partner in MA, via our friend Laurence, is Save A Dog, Inc. Anguilla Adopted Puppies

And don’t forget our website at www.aarf.ai. Here’s a photo we love, of three puppies who were adopted from Anguilla into different homes at different times and now go to doggy day care together.

Join us at Roy’s on Friday Nights

We are back into the swing of the Friday night happy hour raffles at Roy’s Bayside Grill in Sandy Ground. Raffle tickets are just $1 each or 6/$5. We have fun prizes and the drawing is at 7pm. All prizes are donated, and all money raised goes to AARF.

Please Help

Can you bring some soft carriers to Anguilla? We have a few more soft carriers in the States that we need to get back to the shelter so that we can use them again. If you are traveling to Anguilla and can bring two or more along, please let us know. They can be folded and put into a suitcase.

This is an ongoing need, as we send puppies and kittens to the States, we need the carriers back, and having people bring them when they come to Anguilla is the easiest for us. We will arrange to have the carriers mailed to your home or place of business.

Cleaning House? Now that the holidays are over, many of us get the urge to clean house. It’s a perfect time to set aside things you no longer use and donate them to AARF for our yard sale. Maybe that gift you received and will never use will be treasured by someone else.

We happily accept all new and gently used items. You can drop them off at the AARF container behind Anguilla Techni Sales on the North Hill Road or at the shelter. If you have furniture or other large items and need help, send us an email at [email protected]. The sale of just a few items at the yard sale will pay for the cost of a vaccination and go a long way toward paying for a spay.

Shelter Wish List

If you are coming to Anguilla and would like to bring something to help our shelter animals, we can always use small (6-12″) puppy collars, leashes, washable puppy and kitten toys, treats, soft sided carriers for international adoptions, hard sided crates to use for rentals, as well as much needed financial donations. We hope you will stop by the shelter, meet our guests, cuddle puppies and kittens, buy an AARF tee shirt or hat to take home with you. We always enjoy meeting new supporters and seeing returning friends.

Wonder how to make a donation to AARF if you’re not in Anguilla? It’s easy with our PayPal donation button on the AARF website (www.aarf.ai). On the home page and other pages you’ll see the icon of AARF poster girl Freya, who is now happily living in Maine with her loving forever family. Click on the icon and you’ll see how easy it is to donate.

freya-anguilla-kittenAs we’ve said before, AARF gets no support from the government. All of our programs are funded through the generosity of people like you, whether through direct donations, membership dues, or participating in our fund raisers. Here’s the Freya icon to look for on our website.

Thank you for all you do. It truly makes a difference.

Roy’s Friday Night Happy Hour

January 2, 2014 By Dad Leave a Comment

Roy’s Bayside Grill is one of our favorite places in Anguilla to dine when we’re in the mood for a spot that is comfortable as our favorite pair of flip-flops.

View from Roy's

You are always greeted with a big smile by Mandy, Joan and staff. Roy peeks out from the grill to say “hi” and we’re always happy to see Tatiana heading over to our table, menus in hand.

She cuts an imposing figure, making her slightly shy demeanor and smile all the more charming. And, in case you are wondering, it turns out that “Tatiana” is not only an East European first name.

Having recently added breakfast, Roy’s covers it all, including daily lunch specials and a Friday Night Happy Hour, from 5PM to 7PM.

The Happy Hour menu varies. Fish ‘n Chips is usually on the slate, along with an interesting 2nd choice. This week, it’s Beef Bourguignon…

Roy's Happy Hour and Lunch Special Menu

The price of $15 includes a beach chaise, so it’s not a bad idea to catch a few hours of sun on the beach at Sandy Ground before popping in for a tasty and cheap supper (add $18 for a bottle of house wine).

For those on a budget, Roy’s should be high on your list of dining options.
