Confessions of an Imposter
Tonight I (ESL and scientist) impostered as an English substitute with the full sanction and blessing of my English teacher friend who last week gave me a handfull of handouts and said:
" Don't be afraid. Just tell them you're Dr. blbalala and then just read the handouts. It will be over before you know it."
Well, I am proud to say, I read the handouts and I did some of my own english teaching. After class I was in a terrific good mood which suggests to me that teaching appears to be among my few favourite things (Can you hear Julie Andrews now?) I called my teacher friend and told her about class. I got so carried away that I even said:
" Art,science, I don't care. I am willing to be an impostor and teach everything (I think, at least as long as I have good handouts). "
I have calmed down a bit since then and keep thinking how all good mysteries and catholic confessions start with the question " Why did you do it ?"
And from the pulpit we hear,
" I didn't plan it. It just happened."
"Are you gonna do it again ?"
"Maybe."

Paradise Island
This blog's purpose is part travel journal, part photo blog and part travel guide to St. Kitts and the Lesser Antilles. Please let me know if there's something about the island that you'd like to learn more about, and I will write about it here!

GETTING HERE
The only major US airline that flies to St. Kitts is American Airlines. If you can't get one of those flights, just book a ticket to Puerto Rico, Antigua, or St. Maarten. There are two island airlines that I know of: Caribbean Sun Airlines and Liat. Both fly from all of those islands to St. Kitts. If you're coming from Europe, your best bet is to catch the daily Paris-St. Maarten flight on Air France, and then hop over to the island on a CSA or Liat flight.
If you'd rather float by boat, check out the Link Ferries, which specialize in island hopping.
ISLAND LINKS
I'm compiling a list of links for travellers to the island:
- Doctor Y/Doc Tory This is a link to a site put together by some friends who have lived on the island for several years. They have terrific pictures!
- Discover St. Kitts Nevis Beaches This is a link I found earlier in the year that gave me some information on what to do/where to go on the island. It's not the greatest, but the web presence here isn't terrific, either, so it does what it can. I also subscribed to their newsletter, but I didn't learn anything not already on the site. The site has some nice pictures, though.
