In the 1940s, I was a little, poor, black, barefoot boy in a small village of a dot of an island called Anguilla that was not even yet on the map of the Caribbean.
From a hill just above my family’s two room, 12×20 foot concrete home, I used to see stately luxury ocean liners, all aglow at night, passing close to our shores to and from places and ports unknown.
Guess what this did to me – the little, black, barefoot boy? It kindled a fire within me to also, one day, travel like those lucky, rich passengers; for, in my little mind, they had to be just that.

It did even more! It also made me wish and pray that, in time to come, my beloved, scrubby, destitute homeland would be all developed and attractive like a luxury cruise ship; and, that the vast majority -if not all – of its residents would, one day, experience the enviable lifestyle of the rich and famous.
Yes, I was dreaming; but, I knew then that emerging and developed countries were importing all kinds of workers. We had people going to Cuba, Santo Domingo and St. Kitts to cut sugar cane; to England to work as nurses and factory labourers; and, even to the US and British Virgin Islands.
So, I envisaged that, one day, Anguilla’s turn would come. It did from the early 1980s, when a trickle tourist trade grew by leaps and bounds; and, the island was branded as a high end tourism destination.
