*IMPORATING YOUR PET TO ANTIGUA*

Let me start by saying that this process must be started at least 4 months in advance. This importation process has been the most drawn out, stressful process ever! When I say that it is too much to type LOLOL! I mean it is too much to type. LOLOL! From obtaining varies preventative shots, rabies titers, Lyme and Ehrlichia titers, health certificates (plus USDA certification), medication, the cost of flights, flight carrying cases for the pups, this has been very expensive and stressful!! This process has put a $3K dent in my pocket.

After 3 months, I finally received my Import License for my dogs a week ago (thank God)! Again start this process early if you can. If you need more info please send me a message or ask below. I also have posted a link for Antigua import requirements for live animals. These requirements could change so make sure that you contact them directly before starting this process (That is not a current email on the form and I believe that the fax machine is out of service so call 268-460-1759 and ask for Dr. Tubal Edwards, DVM). I had communication issues while trying to work with another person there. This individual was always kind and helpful but Dr. Edwards is the man! :)

    Hi did Antigua charged any other fee than the $50 inspection fee at the airport?

      Hello Coco! Antigua only charged me $50.00 per dog but there are a lot of other costs on the front end that you have to pay. I can’t remeber if I posted about the titer test cost, shots, health certificate cost and the fee to have the health certificate certified... If you need more info I can email it to you. :)

LIFE ON THE ISLAND

Outside the Sandals Resort in Dickerson Bay Well lololol! I must say that life on the Island of Antigua is a lot different than I thought it would be. Not only is it ridiculously expensive... it is not as hot as I thought it would be. From what I hear form the locals and other students is that this is Antigua's winter season so even though its 80 degrees outside it is less humid than the summer months.  Anywho...well I am all moved in and I have 95% of my life back in the states situated. I wish that I could have completed certain things prior to leaving such as my tax stuff and car insurance but oh well...So I thought that the best way to provide you guys with an brief overview of my life on the island is to touch on each topic separately instead of typing a long ass page of info so here goes: Apartment: My view from my living room balcony My view from my bedroom balcony I requested to live off campus because I brought my little doggies with me.

AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF ANTIGUA MEDICAL SCHOOL (AUA)

Hey my friends! I've finally gotten around to providing you with information regarding the medical school that I will be attending in the Spring. The name of the school is American University of Antigua (AUA) and it is located on the beautiful island of Antigua in the Caribbean. AUA has been around for 13 years which could be considered new when you compare it to other Caribbean and US medical schools. The program and curriculum mirrors US medicals schools seeing that they require the same premedical courses, MCAT test, letters of rec, transcripts and interview. STUDENT BODY AND START TIMES: Majority of the students body at AUA are US citizens and are minorities (super awesome). AUA has 2 different start times (many call it rolling admissions). You can start in February which is when I am starting or in August, which is the traditional start time. AUA PROGRAM: The program itself as I stated before mirrors US medical schools and is also completed in 4 years. You will com
