![This was a typical scene at the end of the day on the north-facing beach at Galley Bay. The setting sun shone in from the left of the photo -- and while it generally didn't produce any spectacular sunsets in our litte area, it created a peaceful combination of clouds, water, and sand...

After three months of rain, snow, and freezing temperatures, we finally decided that we had had enough of winter in NYC; and when some friends told us they had enjoyed the peace and quiet of a low-key beach resort in Antigua called Galley Bay, we decided to try it out.
It definitely was low-key: except for a brief period around Christmas, children are not allowed. So the beach was filled with an assortment of ThirtySomething couples, as well as retirement-age folks from Canada, England, and various other places. There are three restaurants at Galley Bay, and they were mostly full for every meal; but the beaches weren't crowded at all, and I never did see anyone using the grass(!) tennis court.
The weather wasn't spectacular: lots of clouds, and brief periods of light rain almost every day. But there were also periods of partly-sunny and all-sunny skies, and the temperatures were mild and pleasant. All the usual TV channels were available, so we could keep up with the news back home; and a flaky Wifi network made it more-or-less possible to stay connected to the Internet.
But mostly it was very quiet. And very peaceful. And very relaxing. And we'll be returning a mere one week before the official arrival of spring in New York City ... which means that the worst of winter is over. All I can say is: good riddance, winter...](/Other/Sunsets/i-js3FPGX/0/Ti/Beach%20umbrella%20at%20sunset%20-%20Antigua%2C%20Mar%202010_4435260688_o-Ti.jpg "This was a typical scene at the end of the day on the north-facing beach at Galley Bay.
