The good: Antigua is absolutely beautiful! It feels like a mixture of the Caribbean Islands and Bermuda rolled into one. It is a sailor's paradise. The harbors are deep, the yachts are magnificent, the hills lush, the restaurants plentiful, and the people friendly.
The bad: We were denied immigration to the island because of my 7 pound Maltese dog! Despite having papers from my Vet saying that she had her rabies shots ( actually 2 in the last 5 years and each shot is good for 3 years), being microchipped which is a requirement, and the Vet declaring her in excellent health, this was not good enough. They wanted to see that she had a blood test that indicates if the anti-rabies blood cells are present. Oh come on! And, there is only one place that conducts this test which is in Kansas and takes 4 weeks to get the results!
The ugly: We have 24 hours to leave the island. There goes our Christmas in Antigua. Looks as if we will be heading to Guadaloupe.
Unfortunately, there are probably 3 other islands that we may have the same problem with. Looks as though my son Alex who is visiting in February will have to fly her home with him. Any one for taking care of a sweetie pie of a dog for 3 months??
