What Do Snow White and Maine Have in Common?
The dwarves? Wrong. Guess again! Both Snow White and Mainers are all-around caucasian? Yes, that’s it. Maine has been tied with Vermont for some time now in who is the whitest state. We recently observed a rally downtown where forty people, mostly caucasian, took to the Portland streets and proclaimed “Support Diversity.”
The question begs, is it lip service or true liberal potential? The continued influx of Somalies to the Vacation State has been testing Maine’s liberal waters, and based on the cold and hostile response in past and present news, we regret to say Mainers are struggling really hard to welcome their new immigrants.
As Snow White’s story goes, she was kissed awake from her deep slumber by a dashing prince from abroad, and they did live happily after. So maybe there is hope for Maine and its people. We say make out and make up.

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.
