Days 13-16 - St. Kitts



The rest of our vacay in St. Kitts was perfect. We had our clothes, the weather was great, the food was good, the gambling was okay and there was plenty of relaxing by the pool.
We got restless one day and decided to take a ferry to the adjacent island of Nevis. Its about a 45 minute ride over to the much smaller sister island that only has about 12,000 inhabitants. The island itself is "rustic" at best, but we managed to make our way to a famous beach bar called Sunshine's where they serve their own homemade signature drink called the Killer Bee. Apparently if you have too many, the locals refer to it as "getting stung." We sampled a few and then made our way over to the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton. Who knew that he was born there? His boyhood home is still intact right on the coast. We checked it out and then headed back to St. Kitts before nightfall. The whole day trip was just enough "culture" for us.

We flew back to New York on Sunday night with no travel hiccups to report!
