For those who have gone down to the Caribbeans, is it generally recommended to take the Eastern Caribbean dollars or USD? I know its pegged, but I am guessing it is better to have more Eastern Carribean dollars vs US when travelling to more local areas where they don't have as much USD prices posted and/or USD available. Plus, it being easier to calculate.
I agree with antigua-creole and disagree with royeee. You will get a much better exchange rate (£s v EC$s) in Antigua than you will in the UK. If you use US$s in Antigua, you may well get change in EC$s and, apart from that, most shops/services display their prices in EC$s.
A very interesting topic that I have been looking at, I think this is one of the most important information for me. And I'm glad to read your post. Thanks for sharing! mapquest driving directions
