Anguilla has no right to be fabulous. The Caribbean island, a British overseas territory about seven miles north of St. Maarten/St. Martin, is a blip on the radar — a mere 35 square miles with just six traffic lights. It’s dry and flat, and its tourism scene took off only some 20 years ago; until the 1960s, after all, much of the island lacked electricity and telephone service. Yet fabulous Anguilla is home to some of the region’s toniest resorts, epicurean eateries and breathtaking beaches. It has architecturally striking villas like those at Altamer, named for exotic gemstones. And it is a magnet for celebrities like Kevin Bacon and Jimmy Buffett, a kind of British St. Bart’s. Without the pretension, though — Anguillan style is a perfect paradox: unfussy chic, barefoot elegance.

Driver’s Licenses
The first driver’s license came fairly early in the life of the automobile, with Karl Benz requesting a document of permission from the German government to drive his car on public roads in 1888. The United States followed suit in the 1910s as auto-related fatalities spiraled out of control. At first, a driver’s license was a simple document, but through the years that have grown more and more technologically advanced. Modern driver’s licenses feature a huge array of anti-fraud features, including embedded holograms, laser-etched photographs and more. Some states even offer upgraded licenses that include RFID chips that store biographic and biometric data.
