St. Kitts Update
I can't imagine sitting on my porch and having a male monkey pull back his gums and show me his fangs, but apparently a male monkey did just this to R yesterday, as his female monkey sat in a nearby tree in the yard having some breakfast.
R retreated into the house. Wise move, I say.
Still, it's pretty cool that she has monkeys that come eat in her yard (These are not her pics; I found them on Google Image search, where I find most of the pics for this blog).
She keeps talking about little lizards on the porch and how cute they are. I did a Google Image search for St. Kitts and lizard, and found this guy. Yikes. Not so cute, eh? Not so little, either.
Maybe once you get to know them, and once you get to appreciate how they deal with the mosquitoes (R sleeps under mosquito netting, by the way), you don't mind having them around. Can't imagine what Paco or Gamma or Seamus will think, though. Lunch?

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.
