On St. Kitts and Nevis, everything is one’s choice.
And our choice was a sure shot.
We chose to…
Take 3 flights to get to St. Kitts,
speak like the locals,
mingle with the locals,
(some times more willingly than others)
frighten the locals
eat like the locals
feel the sand between our toes…a lot
We chose to explore new places
explore new things (maybe a little too closely),
and new hairstyles
We chose Carambola as our fave beach
and chose to spend many a pleasant day there before….
we chose to accept it was time to head home.
But don’t be surprised if we choose to go back sometime….:)
THINGS WE LEARNED IN ST. KITTS
*Sometimes, birds look like they’re coming right at Christopher. (Unless that sparrow really was….)

*’Conch’ is pronounced ‘conk’
*We refer to potholes as polyps

*”I good’'”
There’s rice and then there’s coconut steamed rice
*Sweet Pea wasn’t so sweet
