Antigua has nightlife???? Nelson's dockyard and Shirley Heights is a really interesting place to go walking around if you're into history and museums. There's tons of nice beaches to go to as well. If you're goin for business with your present employer they'll probably put you up at the Tradewinds Hotel in the Dickenson Bay area which is a bit of a drive from St. Johns. Nice hotel tho.

Watch out for the damn mosquitoes and taxi drivers that seem to charge quite a bit. Antigua was the only C'bean island where my per diem at my last job never seemed to cover me fully due to taxis and high food prices. Customer service there is HORRIBLE!!!!!!! Makes customer service around Barbados look positively fantastic. On my last business trip there I walked into St. John's from the office to get some lunch and on the way back a school kid spat at me. I was like wtf. Antigua will never see me or my money on vacation ever again.

St. Lucia has good nightlife if you're in the Rodney Bay area. There's a community just North of that one as well (can't remember the name) but it's near the cricket grounds that has a good street party as well from what I hear.

Meanin' Gros Islet? Said to be the place punna fridee nite.. Anyway, Antigua has never appealed to me - not as much as having the opposite effect - so I shan't comment any further.
