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.

Glad you are free of Yankeeland! I've always said I'd never go there to live on purpose, only kicking and screaming. Congrats!
Oh no, no, no!
We need to get a few things straight:
1. Yankeeland in a place in New York City. Unless you have been bitten by that rabid bug (and there are a few misfortunates in Portland)you are found in the Bronx.
2. Portland is not Yankeeland.
3. It ain't for everyone.
4. Glad M & R were here, even if kicking or screaming. We met some incredible people! The issue is how to make folks stay?
5. Damn better than living with rednecks in the south.
Portland seems to be stuck in this state of wanting to progress but still decaying. I have enjoyed living in Portland, but then I came from many years in Boston.
Part of the problem is the folks who have that if you build it they will come mentality.
Stuff closes downtown faster than I can close the door on a winter day, but they are building quarter of a million dollar lofts for sale. Must be a hell of a lot of folks who need second homes in downtown Portland. Can someone explain this to me?
Anyway, Beth and I were sorry see you leave, but we are glad to see that you are happy. That's what counts!
