I want to take a trip to the Caribbean, and am looking at possible places to go, (I'd go by plane, not a cruise ship) and I came across Antigua and Barbuda.
Well, I'm sorta on a budget, and I Heard St. John's is a Fairly decent priced place, Is That True? Also, I'd like to know if the Islands are touristy, if regular cruise ships visit Them, and Which Of The Two Islands Is Best to stay at. And What There Is To Do, and How to Travel Between the Two Islands, and If You Can take a plane to the Islands. Just general info so I decided if it CAN's the place for me or Not. Thanks!

I went to Antigua for my honeymoon in 99.I loved it very much.StJohns is a pretty typical city with lots of duty free shopping and lots of locals looking to sell you things. I found the island as a whole not as touristy as other places in the Carribean.There are some wonderful places to see and some great music to hear.The food is pretty much americanized per se but we had some local fare and enjoyed it but you would have to go off the beaten path.The Beaches are nice.I will say though that it is not a cheap place.Taxis are expensive and its the only way really to get around.Getting there is expensive as well.The roads there are awful too.If I was to go cheap I would shoot for Dominican Republic or Nassau.
