Intro + High-Level Itinerary (PDF)
A first look at the week’s flow: what’s planned for everyone (group anchors), where you’ll have included “choose your adventure” options (or choose rest), and how optional premium add-ons can fit if you want them.
Pre-Departure Checklist (PDF)
Your low-stress runway. A simple timeline of what to do 4–6 weeks out, 2 weeks out, 72 hours out, and on travel day—so the final week to wheels up stays calm and nothing important is missed.
Packing List (PDF)
A streamlined, realistic packing list for Antigua (warm days, cooler evenings, cobblestones), plus a checklist you can print or check off on your phone. Dial it up or down based on your packing personality—minimalist, maximalist, or “I packed three versions of myself.”
Transportation Plan + Contact Sheet (PDF)
Step-by-step instructions for arriving at GUA and meeting your driver team (with the key exit + landmark), plus key contacts and “what to do if…” steps—so arrival day feels smooth and supported.
“I Got This” Cheat Sheet (Quick Reference)
Designed to live in your back pocket—so you look like a pro without trying. Print this and bring it (or screenshot it). It includes the villa address + Wi-Fi, key contacts, tipping norms, quick Spanish phrases, emergency info, and a simple GTQ ↔ USD conversion guide for daily life once you arrive.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Skim the "High-Level Itinerary" for how the week take shape → then the "Pre-Departure Checklist" → then plan your packing with "Packing List" (stating the obvious here) → then "Transportation Plan" and finally, the "I Got This Cheat Sheet" (this little buddy will be your new BFF).
We recommend saving these PDFs to your phone and printing the checklist pages if you like a paper reference—many guests use them as their personal, travel-week checklists.
