The tropical islands of Antigua and Barbuda are located in the heart of the Caribbean about a thousand miles to the east of Jamaica and half that distance from Trinidad on the coast of South America.
Antigua’s shoreline is washed almost exclusively by the Caribbean Sea and is hugged by 95 miles of superb coastline. Her sister Barbuda, is surrounded by protective reefs and features a large lagoon and Frigate Bird sanctuary. The islands are best known for their friendly and welcoming people, pink and white-sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and the most satisfying and enjoyable climate in the world.
Nelson’s Dockyard, the only remaining example of a Georgian fort a listed UNESCO World Heritage site, is perhaps the most renowned landmark.

This partnership developed a year ago on July 23, when eTN publisher Juergen Steinmetz and four young ladies from Antigua and Barbuda on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai after they rowed from California to the Aloha State.
41 days, 7 hours, and 5 minutes. It’s how long it took for Kevinia Francis, Samara Emmanuel, and Christal Clashing from Antigua to row 2800 miles from Monterey, California to Hanalei, Kauai (HI) in the World’s Toughest Row. The Pacific is for the daredevils, the live life on the edge, the thrill seekers, Skipper Kevinia said. National Heroes in their Home Country Antigua Barbuda the girls were treated to a tasty Hawaiian home-cooked meal and coconut water on the beach, after surviving on military-style dry food for 41 days. They took a plane home 🙂
Shortly thereafter with two of its own, the twin-island Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda was over the moon, and excitedly gearing up for one of their greatest adventures in history as Keisha Schahaff and her daughter Anastasia Mayers embarked on a space travel journey, that will see them become Antigua and Barbuda’s first astronauts, and the first Caribbean mother-daughter duo to go to space.
