Caribbean’s Best Lobster Festival

by

Anegada Lobster Festival

Who does not like lobster? We’re talking succulent fresh lobster?

How about a festival dedicated to lobster and comes with a incredible beach in the Caribbean?

What if you could travel somewhere where lobster is on every menu, at every restaurant, all day long?

It’s time for the annual Anegada Lobster Festival that’s become a magnet for foodies and lobster lovers from all over the world.

Held in Anegada, the beach-filled outpost in the British Virgin Islands that’s making a quick rebound from Hurricane Irma.

That means that if you head to this year’s festival, you aren’t just coming for an unforgettable culinary experience — you’re also helping contribute to the island’s recovery. Who can argue with that?

The Anegada Lobster Festival will go ahead on Nov. 25 and 26.

“We felt it was important to hold the Anegada Lobster Fest, one of the BVI Food Fete’s signature events, to announce to repeat guests and prospective guests throughout the region and internationally, that the BVI is open for tourism business even as we recover from Hurricane Irma, one of the most destructive hurricanes in recorded history” said British Virgin Islands Director of Tourism Sharon Flax-Brutus.  “Additionally, since Anegada was not as impacted as the other main islands, we felt it would be a good idea for Anegada to ring in the tourism high season as we begin to welcome visitors.”

There are seven restaurants participating in this year’s Anegada Lobster Festival, “putting their unique spins on our most popular crustacean for all guests to sample,” the tourist board said in a statement.

There will be live entertainment and several opportunities to explore the island, home to sparkling turquoise water and some magnificent beaches like the white-sand Loblolly Bay.

So where to stay? Right now, accommodations are admittedly limited — but local charter yacht companies like Marine Max and Sunsail can provide accommodations and options for the event.

Indeed, the BVI yachting sector began welcoming visitors on Nov. 1.

There will also be daily ferry transportation to and from Tortola.

As in past years, visitors to the festival will be able to win special prices from the BVI Tourist Board if they visit all of the participating restaurants and visit the island’s main historic attractions.

In other words, the more lobster you eat, the better. What could be better than that?

US implements tighter sanctions on Cuba

by

Cuba Travel

Earlier this year the Trump Administration announced plans to tighten the travel rules to Cuba. Today the US government announced those additional sanctions and travel restrictions on Cuba.

Individuals traveling for so called “people-to-people” outreach will no longer be able to visit the country, except where travel arrangements have already been made, or in cases where these individuals are accompanied by permitted, US-based sponsors, a senior administration official explained to reporters on a conference call.

Among the other specific changes outlined by the Treasury Department are restrictions on travel to Cuba for educational or cultural exchange groups, which will now be permitted only for sponsored groups in the United States, and with the participation of representatives from those groups.
“We have strengthened our Cuba policies to channel economic activity away from the Cuban military and to encourage the government to move toward greater political and economic freedom for the Cuban people,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement.
A fact sheet released by the Treasury Department noted that, “Renting a room in a private Cuban residence (casa particular), eating at privately owned Cuban restaurants (paladares), and shopping at privately owned stores run by self-employed Cubans (cuentapropistas) are examples of authorized activities.”
As a result Individual travel without organized activity s banned. While in Cuba you need to be on a pre arranged organized tour, like a shore excursion provided by a cruise ship, that includes escorts from the tour operator who sold you the trip and or a representation from the cruise lone to manage the excursion to insure compliance. Another option is an approved tour of Cuba from a USA tour operator.
Tip—-if you go in any manner make sure the cruise line you travel with will provide you with a certified document for your stay in Cuba that details what tours you took and when. We do that for all our passengers signed by the company and its designed to answer any and all questions the US State depart or Depart of the Treasury may have about you being compliant.
“However,” it went on to say, “in order to meet the requirement of a full-time schedule, a traveler must engage in additional authorized support for the Cuban people activities.”
These changes take place on Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017.
The agents at InterlineTravel.com can help you book a legal trip to Cuba whether by cruise ship or tour package. Just call them at 800 766-2911.
