Since some of you might not know a whole lot about Antigua, I decided to post some information about the country....
Antigua and Barbuda (one nation composed of several islands) is one of the more prosperous of the Caribbean nations. The islands attract hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, and the nation's economy is dependent on tourism.
Antigua and Barbuda were British colonies from 1632 until they achieved independence in 1981. The majority of the population is descended from African slaves brought to the islands to work on cotton and sugar cane plantations, and the islands' culture developed from a mixture of African, West Indian, and British influences.
Antigua and Barbuda lies at the southern end of the Leeward Islands chain, which is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Caribbean Sea to the west.
Antigua is low-lying with rolling hills made up of volcanic rock, coral, and limestone. Its highest point is Boggy Peak at 1,542 ft. The coastline is composed of coves and bays and is known for its 365 beaches.
English is the official language of Antigua and Barbuda. However, Leeward Caribbean Creole English, an English-based creole, is the language used in informal situations by the majority of the population. Most of the population would claim Christianiy as their religion, however, most of these are Anglican, Moravian, Methodist, or Seventh-Day Adventists. There are also Roman Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses and Rastafarians.
