Intimate Antigua
I ENJOYED Cindy Loose's article on Antigua ["Intimate Caribbean," Oct. 29]. I am from the Caribbean and stopped over in beautiful Antigua some years ago on my way to visit Grenada. I've always been intrigued by the "365 beaches -- one for every day of the year" and Antigua's fascinating history.
Congratulations on a beautifully written article.

Travel Alarms
I READ Terri Sapienza's piece rating travel alarm clocks with interest [Road Test, Oct. 29]. But what about when you absolutely, positively have to get up? Like, say, for a medical board exam or the bar exam? None of the alarms shown can be relied upon to rouse you from a near-comatose stupor. The Screaming Meanie can: http:/

The 'Other' Hamptons
I REALLY ENJOYED the article on Hampton Bays, N.Y. ["After the Summer Swells," Oct. 22]. Ambrose Clancy did a great job, and I should know, since I just finished my 52nd summer season in Hampton Bays.
When planning a picnic lunch, skip Scotto's and go a little farther down Main Street (Montauk Highway) and stop at Dunkirk's, a terrific deli owned and operated by a young local couple.
No visit to Hampton Bays is complete without driving beyond the ocean beach on Dune Road and to the inlet, which was created by the great hurricane of 1938. This is where the commercial fishing fleet gains access to the ocean from Shinnecock Bay and also the site of the docks where the fleet anchors.
My only real concern with this article is that I don't want too many people to discover Hampton Bays.
