It’s surely a loyal trend in travel, and not surprising that everyone likes to escape from stress these days. That’s why the changes and arrivals on the spa and wellness scene around the Caribbean are so interesing right now. It all reflects the wide range of audience that appreciates the benefits of a renewal in health and wellness on a Caribbean retreat.
 Infinity pool at Casa Colonial - courtesy Casa Colonial Small and mid-size resorts are adding in new spa and health amenities to their existing location or bringing in entire new facilities. On South Andros in the Bahamas, for instance, eco-retreat Tiamo has reopened following renovation to include a new spa and gym. The fully equipped gym and glass spa allows guests to relax and recharge after the rigors of sunbathing and water sport nearby. This summer, it’s every type of hotel that wants to find a way to cater to its health and fitness – minded guests. When I was a kid on Jamaica, there was mainly just the beach or the golf course available for our weekend visit to Half Moon Bay near Montego Bay. Decades later, they’ve become very fit-minded, and this summer they’re putting on a Health & Wellness celebration that features visiting healthy lifestyle experts. In fact, if I was a kid now in Jamaica, I could take advantage of something like the Sunset Beach Resort, Spa & Waterpark or the Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort’s new children’s spa treatements for young spa enthusiasts. Children ages three to ten can relax and rejuvenate just like their parents nowadays with specially designed, kid-themed pampering spa treatments.
Over on the Dominican Republic, I was hugely impressed during a recent trip along the country’s north coast to come across the elegant Casa Colonial. With a sweeping vista of the Atlantic, this retreat like its name tells is a colonial style mansion recreated with all the modern amenities and services in an intimate atmosphere, and its Bagua spa nowadays provides guests with a cross-cultural menu of indigenous and European derived spa treatments. The other intriguing area of this magical north coast I look forward to visiting soon is its Samana Peninsula, not the least to check out the services and ambience at the new Balcones del Atlantico, a beachfront resort opening this fall in the famed fishing village of Las Terrenas. The spa here will feature four private treatment cabanas, two pools with a swim-up bar, and a beach restaurant and bar.
Further east into the Windwards and Leewards, the health-and-fitness minded arriving on Antigua can look forward to checking in this summer at the new Aveda Concept Spa at Sugar Ridge. The spa at this recently opened resort boasts over 6,000 square feet and provides guests a full range of treatments featuring the latest in holistic therapies, plus a beauty salon. It also includes and extensive fitness center along with two swimming pools, an 82-foot lap pool and a 44-foot pool complete with sun-bathing areas. Head further due southeast to St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and you can luxuriate with the spa at the Tamarind Beach Hotel & Yacht Club on Canouan Island. It’s affordable for all spa lovers, thanks to a week-long package they’re offering that includes everything from airport pick-up, beachfront suite, all meals, and a daily menu of treatments and massages. It’s all part of the wider regional trend toward providing the spa and wellness traveler with affordable luxury of the kind they truly value, and will always travel to discover.
If you’re like me, you’ve had the traveler’s letdown in coming away from a destination that does not meet the expectations created by the guidebook or brochure descriptions you read beforehand. Marigot Bay on St. Lucia is not only an exception to that, but goes beyond by really living up to the meaning of words like entrancing or idyllic. Nor is it surprising to find out that adventurers, celebrities, yachtsmen and a wide variety of travelers in search of the perfect haven have all paused here—and often stayed on. Nowadays home to such facilities as an expanded marina waterfront, hotels, restaurants and shopping, Marigot Bay still overwhelms you as you make your way down toward its harbor area with its extraordinary natural appeal.
 Marigot Bay - harborside (Hal Peat) It is the Bay’s unusual shape, with its deep inner harbor expanse, that has always provided practical shelter for all kinds of ocean-going craft. Over centuries, everything from naval fighting vessels to world-class sailing yachts and smaller boats have anchored here, finding either the ideal hiding place, refuge from storms, or port-of-call along the Leeward Islands. In more recent times, Marigot Bay has also become a self-contained destination on St.Lucia: a port of entry with complete customs facilities, it has extensively expanded docks that include forty fully-serviced slips able to receive superyachts or cruisers. For those who decide to make the Bay their starting point for full-service inter-island cruising experience, The Moorings is the company with the facilities and sailing vessels that can take you from St. Lucia onward to points on St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Where to Stay and Dine
Marigot Bay remains a small community at some distance from the capital of Castries and other coastal towns; once you arrive here, having the utmost comfort and range of amenities on-hand is essential. There are several smaller inns and villa rentals in the area, notably Marigot Beach Club , a collection of villas and studios situated at the north end of the Bay. Accommodations here come with kitchenettes, and there is also a pool and water sport access. If you stay here, or come over to this side of the Bay, the place for lunch or dinner is Doolittle’s Restaurant (Tel: (758) 451 4974), named of course for the movie, and the fare is moderate to expensive in price.
However, the ideal place to be for world-class accommodation as well as amenities and services has become Discovery at Marigot Bay. This ultra-chic resort also has a touch of history and glamour to its background, even reflected in its name: built on the site of the original Hurricane Hole Hotel, the location saw movie stars and moguls arrive in the post-war years to party or get away under the supervision of adventuring entrepreneur Walter Boudreau. Said to have hunted for treasure offshore, Boudreau only ever uncovered one single Spanish doubloon for his efforts. This is all captured in the present hotel’s name and golden logo, while his name lives on in the five-star Boudreau Restaurant. The white-on-white furnishings and colorful historic artwork make for an elegant interior, but it is the vistas of the adjacent harbor that are equally memorable if you can get yourself a window seat here for a continental breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Of course, there are other dining options around the Bay you can saple, ranging from the low-budget Chateau Mygo (Tel: (758) 451-4772), which serves up simpler but tasty fare for lunches including an excellent pizza, to the super-elegant Rainforest Hideaway; this champagne bar and fusion restaurant is constructed on a platform along the inner Bay, and serves up imaginative seafood appetizers and fresh produce based main courses.
Relaxation and Wellness
For the wellness-conscious traveler who always includes a spa experience while away from home, Discovery at Marigot Bay is home to the Lapli Spa, which offers a menu of treatments that include body scrubs under Vichy showers and rejuvenating massages; Lapli is Asian inspired and features such touches as a Zen Garden and wood soaking tubs, something also reflected in the menu of activities like complimentary yoga and tai chi. The Spa’s facials and treatments are from the the E’Spa product line, whose products are based on native botanicals perfected by island herbalists. Discovery’s fitness programs emphasize distressing through local activities including rainforest hikes and mountain climbing in combination with wide-ranging workshops such as stress management, meditation and relaxation therapy along with its various spa options.
Discovery guests who want to get on and into the surrounding waters can choose from several complimentary non-motorized water sports including sailing, scuba, snorkeling, windsurfing and kayaking. You can also arrange deep sea fishing excursions off St. Lucia’s western coastline with experienced local operators through the resort’s front desk If you intend to make time also for land-based adventure, there is everything from rainforest trekking to bird watching that you can spend a day or half-day enjoying.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. said it is gearing up for the November opening of The St. Regis Bahia Beach, Puerto Rico, the island’s first luxury project since 1997. The company said the $172 million resort is nearly sold out for the December holidays, underscoring the recovery in luxury hospitality.
The St. Regis opening comes on the heels of two other key Starwood hotel openings in Puerto Rico: W Vieques, the first W Retreat & Spa in North America, and Sheraton Puerto Rico Convention Center Hotel & Casino – the first new full-service hotel and casino built in San Juan in more than a decade. The Sheraton Puerto Rico Convention Center Hotel & Casino is also scheduled to become the first LEED Certified hotel in the Caribbean. The addition of these three new hotels has doubled Starwood’s portfolio in Puerto Rico in just one year.
“Starwood has made a significant impact in Puerto Rico, helping to drive even more tourism and group travel to this easily accessible Caribbean island,” said van Paasschen. “The enthusiastic response to our first W and second Sheraton in Puerto Rico has paved the way for the successful launch of The St. Regis Bahia Beach, Puerto Rico, which will satisfy pent-up demand for luxury lodging on the island. Looking ahead, we are very bullish about the growth prospects for all of our brands in Puerto Rico and across the Caribbean.”
 The St. Regis Bahia Beach features 139 guest rooms and suites, 26 estate home residences, an 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Remède Spa, oceanfront swimming pools, and Fern, a new restaurant by Chef Jean-Georges. Offering two miles of sandy beach and views of the El Yunque National Rainforest, the newly constructed hotel occupies a prime location within a community committed to environmental preservation and sustainable development. The St. Regis Bahia Beach is designated as a Certified Gold Audubon International Signature Sanctuary.
“The tourism recovery is well underway in Puerto Rico, where we now provide a range of lodging options and a terrific outlet for SPG members to redeem points on a convenient Caribbean getaway,” said Denise Coll, president, North America for Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. “We are delighted to have grown so rapidly in this dynamic market, which has consistently earned high marks for its ease of access, strong infrastructure and dynamic mix of cultures.” For more information, visit www.stregis.com or www.starwoodhotels.com.
On a typical mid-week afternoon, St. Maarten’s capital of Philipsburg becomes a true global get-together of merchandise and travelers in search of some of the best bargains in the Caribbean. This seaside port on the island’s Dutch side boasts a concentration of shops that really seems to draw the widest spectrum of shopper from around the world.
 Phillipsburg's colorful shopping range Most of Philipsburg’s shopping is located along an almost mile-long section of Front Street (or Voorstraat in its Dutch name) and its parallel rear neighbor, Back Street (or Acherstraat), along with a few adjacent walkways. While some blocks of Front Street’s pavements may narrow to no more than a few feet wide, this never seems to deter the throngs of shoppers looking for the perfect bargain to fly home with or gift to return with to their cruise ship. As an extensive duty-free haven, Philipsburg has something for virtually anyone—and here they do arrive in every shape, age and nationality to browse along Front Street and nearby, from college students to seniors, honeymooners to business travelers. We roamed the main section of these downtown streets ourselves, checking out many of the stores carrying the leading brand names in every category, ranging from watches and jewelry to china and glass, fabrics and furnishings to arts and crafts, liquors and food preserves to perfumes and toiletries. There is usually more than one store with items matching any shopper’s needs, so if at first you do not find the exact watch or dress or perfume, continue your hunt. Some of the most frequently sought categories, and some of the establishments that might carry them, are as follows:
- Jewelry and watches: A huge number of stores with a well-stocked display of the leading brands in this category means you could dedicate all your time to just visiting them all. Just a few of the best to look for are Ballerina Jewelers and Little Switzerland.
- Perfumes and toiletries: J.C. Penha & Sons is the oldest retailer and distributor of perfume in the Caribbean.
- Clothing: women’s and men’s wear from beach to ballroom, international couturiers and labels can all be found in the area. Tommy Hilfiger, leader in men’s lifestyle fashion, has a storefront presence here , and Endless Summer, as its name suggests, is the place to browse for tropical swimwear and resort wear
- Leather goods and accessories: FURLA, a leader in handbags and leather goods has a fine Italian “affordable luxury” range here.
- Other specialty stores: establishments where you can pick up that hard-to-find item, a collectible or an interesting gift might include the liqueur establishment of Guavaberry Emporium, which has a front shop selling its own rums, liqueurs and preserves. For tobacco products, stop in at The Cigar Emporium, offering the largest selection of authentic Cuban cigars. Enclosed malls along Front Street worth visiting include the Sint Rose Shopping Mall, which houses numerous galleries and shops.
People with an interesting book to write often also have something interesting to tell about themselves. In the case of the author of Manners and Entertaining with Marguerite Gordon: A Guide to Caribbean Life, there is much which is both interesting and unusual to tell. Marguerite Gordon’s own story began on Jamaica, where in her later teens she developed an interest in writing but did not pursue publishing a book until years later when she wrote a successful children’s book, Dancer, The Little Dog from Mayaro Beach. In the meanwhile, she entered the world of modeling and fashion, won a Miss Jamaica title and then also in the Sixties did a turn as a ” Bond girl” opposite Sean Connery in the movie Dr. No when it was filmed on Jamaica. In the years since, she has followed her variety of interests in the worlds of fashion and human resource consultancy that has brought her a wider perspective on lifestyle, entertaining and how to be both the ideal host and guest at just about any type of Caribbean event. Nowadays a resident of Trinidad, here she discusses some of the issues covered in her new book.
 courtesy - Ian Randle Publishers CE:
What inspired you initially to write this book when you did? Looking back, what were some of the most interesting things you came across while you were writing it — either people, places, businesses you encountered?
Marguerite Gordon: I knew over twenty years ago that I wanted to write about a subject dear to my heart and that was “Manners” for all. Because I am in the business of Human Resource Development as a consultant and trainer, I kept coming across some really dreadful situations about how the public was treated by staff of companies, both in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. Customer Service was a myth because so many of the staff had no idea of business etiquette at all because these staff members did not think they were being rude and unfocused. Many also (more so in Trinidad and Tobago) mix up the meaning of the words “service” and “servile”. I have for years given private classes in Social Etiquette for both men and women. I also knew that there was (and still is) some embarrassment – especially men who have many university degrees – to admit to the fact that they do not know how to hold a knife and fork the “correct” way, and I realized when companies started to ask me to do courses on their board room level that a great need was there. So on one hand you have the Chairmen/women and the executive level needing help and on the other hand many young people coming out of schools today who are not equipped to go into the world and grow and are entering companies at a lower level becoming the “face” of their company. In fact, many young people in the late twentieth century and now are very tough and at a certain level are hard to train. When a Caribbean person lacks self confidence they both withdraw and appear churlish and rude or they become forceful and appear loud, projecting a “don’t care” attitude and … again …rude. So I decided a book for all! I enjoyed my research and because I have been writing columns on this subject for many years for The Woman’s Magazine of the Sunday Express Newspapers, ( which has the largest circulation in T and T) it was fairly easy to go back in files.
CE: You’ve seen a lot of change across the Caribbean when it comes to social or public occasions. What do you think are some of the important that people need to be aware of – either for planning a social event of their own, or planning to attend a social or business or official function nowadays?
Marguerite Gordon: People need to be aware that they can do the planning of many small and fairly large events on their own with efficient organization and the hiring of certain necessary china, glasses, tables, chairs, etc. If the hostess or host is great in the cooking arena (I am not) then that can help the budget, but if you have to of course use a caterer whom you have met and briefed as to the time they must arrive. The bar and menu when one is hosting a party are very important and I implore hostess not to have shell fish (without a choice of something else) when entertaining guests for the first time. They should-for small luncheon and dinner parties- find out if these guests have allergies or are vegetarians etc. The invitations are important, specifying the time of your function, the dress code. Even if it is a casual affair and it’s a telephone invitation, give correct information. Have an exciting mix of guests, decide on your table settings and figure out your seating plan well in advance.
When planning to attend someone else’s function read that invitation properly, (make sure it is the right date), get directions if necessary, answer yea or nay promptly and if a social invitation and the time given is say 7.30 pm please do not arrive at 7.29 or even 7.30! – 7.40 or 7.45 p.m. is fine. If however the function is an official one, please arrive on the dot. If the dress code has been left out or some strange urban code (like “formasual”) has been put in, telephone and politely ask for an English translation. For business appointments, check out the place and parking before the day arrives, because you must be on time.
There’s something magical about a leisurely meal taken out under a Caribbean sunset as it deepens into a clear tropical night, with the evening star and all the heavens as your eternal overhead lamps. I’ve had the pleasure of doing this from idyllic locations stretching from the Bahamas to the Cayman Islands to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. When you can also do it right at the point where the food is both grown, harvested and then prepared, a cycle of nature and man that you have to experience at least once in a lifetime.
 credit courtesy - Jakes/Island Outpost One such magical earth-to-table location where you also find the produce prepared with culinary excellence is at Jakes, the boutique hotel nestled in the fishing village of Treasure Beach on Jamaica’s south coast, is introducing monthly Farm Dinners in conjunction with Liz Solms, accomplished chef and local sustainable agriculture expert. Here’s what the setting and fare are like in this unique al fresco farm setting experience on a Saturday evening
The dinners feature savory organic dishes prepared and served on-site at local farms, with wine pairings provided by Caribbean Producers Jamaica. Each dinner begins at sunset, once a month on the Saturday closest to the full moon, on a small farm in the hills of St. Elizabeth parish. On arrival, guests are greeted with a cocktail created from fresh fruit grown right at the farm. The table is elegantly set with white linens in the middle of a working field, with lanterns hung around the table and among the curling vineyard-like rows of yam vines. Dinner is cooked table-side, and the rotating menu reflects seasonal local produce and 100% organic ingredients. Mouthwatering dishes, such as penne with lime basil, goat cheese crostini, and chicken with dill yogurt sauce, are served up family-style. The dinners will also play host to various specialists such as honey experts and wine sommeliers to lead tastings of locally-produced fare.
Jakes’ commitment to supporting local farmers and fisherman began when it first opened its doors in 1995 as a simple seaside restaurant. Now a vibrant and stylish resort with its own distinct laid-back-chic atmosphere, Jakes has partnered with Ms. Solms and the Pedro Plains farms to provide visitors with the opportunity to see where their food comes from, through locally-guided Farm Tours and the new introduction of the monthly dinners.

We really enjoyed the Retreat. We had a nice view of the ocean and the condo was well-equipped and very comfortable. We had one issue while we were there … the day we checked in, we were swimming alone in the pool and saw someone sneaking out of the pool as he had been looking in our pool bag. He stole our keys. I got them back after running him down, but it could have been a very painful weekend (it was Friday evening) if I had not gotten him to drop them. The police came and we went through all the proper procedures. It surprised us as Cayman is obviously not known for even petty crime.
We rented a car from Thrifty and were pleased with it. We also ate at a number of places. The restaurant right there at Rum Point was probably our best meal. I had Red Snapper that was very nicely prepared and absolutely delicious. We also ate at the Lighthouse, which was also very good. In addition, we went to the Kaibo Yacht club for both lunch and for the Tuesday night BBQ. We enjoyed both. It wasn’t tremendous, but enjoyable.
As far as outings, we only did one organized outing, which was by Red Sail. We went snorkeling and to Stingray city. We had been there before a number of years ago, but it was fun to go again. The snorkeling was very good and the crew did a great job making it enjoyable.
The weather wasn’t great while we were in Cayman, but managed to make the best of it and have an enjoyable stay. The mosquitoes were much worse than they were nine years ago. We talked to a bartender at Kaibo, who said they are worse than she has ever seen them … with all the rain you had had just before we got there.

Like many first-time arrivals into Grand Cayman, the Cayman Islands were strongly linked in my mind to the world of offshore financial services. But the reality that you quickly encounter and easily reach once you get beyond the plazas with their banks around George Town is a different kind of green altogether. These are the key opportunities I came across that are ideal on this island for eco-tour inclined travelers:
Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park – a photographer’s dream, this 40-acre park of flora and fauna includes a historic Heritage Park, a breathtaking 2.5 acre tropical and subtropical Floral Garden, and a large freshwater lake that attracts a variety of bird life. Often seen lumbering along the pathways on a quiet afternoon are the resident Grand Cayman Blue Iguana. Plenty of bird life both large and small for the bird spotting enthusiast as well.
The Mastic Trail – Exploring further afield: for inland trekking there is the two-mile long Mastic Trail , which is the largest remaining contiguous area of old growth forest. Along the way, you encounter a variety of tropical habitats from Black Mangrove wetland to clusters of Silver Thatch Palms, abandoned farmlands and ancient dry forest. This wooded area is host to an abundance of wildlife—reptilian, crustacean, and of course aviary species. For bird lovers, a visit to the Governor Michael Gore Bird sanctuary provides an outstanding treat with its freshwater pond that is home to a third of the Cayman Islands’ known bird species. For information contact the National Trust.
Little Rum Point - A day excursion to dreamy little Rum Point is an essential part of eco-venturing around Grand Cayman. You can hop one of the daily scheduled crossings of the Rum Pointer Ferry from the Hyatt Regency dock over to the landing at Rum Point, then take in the aquatic life offshore aboard the glass-bottomed MV Reef Roamer. For a kayak adventure into nearby mangroves and turtle watching, go south from Rum Point to Kaibo Beach where you can access the Central Mangrove Wetlands with outfitter Cayman Kayaks .
Grand Cayman as a relatively small island with good roads is fairly simple to get around and you can contact local tour and adventure operators to plan your own getaway into the green side from your West End resort very easily.
Like many travelers in the region, I used to pass frequently through San Juan, Puerto Rico just as a connecting hub until fortunately I had a layover there. Then I discovered some of the wealth that its original quarter of “El Viejo San Juan” or Old San Juan contains. I finally got to explore the warren of narrow streets here, brimming with shops, galleries, museums, hotels, and historic public buildings. A visit to this district is a walking journey into the island’s past and present in a city that has also transformed into one of the Caribbean’s hottest urban destinations.
 courtesy - Puerto Rico Tourism Company At the heart of this revival is a blend of authentic Latin and American styles emerging in both business, leisure and arts — from chic new hotels, to trendy restaurants and bars, to high-end shopping and galleries. Some of the essential points of interest for anyone to include who might be headed into Old San Juan include:
- Castillo de San Felipe del Morro—usually referred to simply as “El Morro”–the massive seaside fortress guarding the capital. A long path leads up to El Morro, which sits on a dramatic promontory that leaves you with the feeling of standing at the world’s very edge.
- La Fortaleza/ Palacio de Santa Catalina - the Governor’s home; the seat of Puerto Rico’s legislature at El Capitolio, and the 19th century esplanade of Paseo La Princesa.
- The main square of Plaza San José – a starting point for many visitors exploring on foot. You can get from here to other squares, shopping streets, churches and museums.
- Shopping: local to international designer boutiques. Calle de Cristo hosts the majority of the commerce, with other trendy and eclectic boutiques also to be found on Fortaleza and San Francisco streets near the craft markets of Plaza de la Darsena and Paseo de la Princesa. Authentic island items include santos—small, wooden figures of saints and religious scenes; mundillo lace—intricate, handmade bobbin lace, and vejigantes— carnival masks made of papier mache or coconut.
- Dining: Puerto Rico prides itself as the “Dining Capital of the Caribbean” - and Old San Juan is home to much of its culinary diversity. Baru, for instance, is international in its menu selection while also providing a hip setting in a renovated colonial home. The Parrot Club, on the other hand, is an inspired Nuevo Latino location long popular with locals and also offering a vibrant nightlife. Its neighbor, Dragonfly, blends Asian influences with Nuevo Latino ingredients.
- Accommodation: in the heart of the old city, Hotel El Convento stands out as the perfect combination of classic Old World style with an innovative twist. A Carmelite convent built three centuries ago, the El Convento has been renovated with every modern amenity, while its colonial charm has been exquisitely preserved in such features as marble chessboard floors and carved mahogany furnishings. At The Gallery Inn, art and history aficionados will definitely fall in love with this 300-year-old gem filled with antiques, Spanish art and its own interior courtyards and gardens outside select rooms. Created out of three adjoining colonial homes, it consists of seven bedrooms and three suites hidden off Moorish courtyards and narrow staircases.
Our recent visit to St Kitts was twofold: vacation and for me to receive my PhD in Behavioural Health from International University for Graduate Studies.
The Marriott was very nice for the most part. The rooms are quite nice, big, roomy and nice lanais. The pools are great and no worries about personal effects. Chocolates on the pillows at night, etc.
Staff really went out of their way to make everything work for my daughter who uses a wheelchair! Very appreciated!
There seems to be a mixture of help that comes from the island and others that come from somewhere else. I don’t know all the cultural implications, but I found the Kittians warm and friendly. The service in the restaurants at the Marriott was not very good by American standards with the exception of Claudine in the Calypso Cafe.
In fact, service at restaurants was fairly lacking all round. Exceptions included Serendipity (I’d give 4 stars out of 5) and the Spice Mill (same rating). Spice Mill had a ramp for wheelchair access! Just 2 little steps to access it.
Had a very good time at Reggae Bar on Cockleshell Beach. Beach vendors were polite and did not push.
Golf course was not in the best shape.
Really appreciated the time and attention and help and friendship of Fresh Prince of Fresh Prince Taxi service…..he gets beaucoup stars and made our trip unforgrttable!
Also recommend Magic Fingers for massage at the beach…excellent masseuse and very reasonable….much better than at the Spa!
Cap’n Miles on his 41′ Hunter was great, so great we went twice….most accomodating the first time with helping my disabled daughter aboard and showing us all a fine time with great snorkeling and a turn at the wheel for my good friend and mentor Dr. AB who hadn’t sailed in St Kitts for 25 years. The second time it was my husband, my other daughter and her finace’ and that was just as great if not better!
St Kitts is a strange mix of 3rd world and richness. Since our last visit, construction and development continue….did not see the recession so afflicting the US construction industry going on there.
