Nevis Part One

I'm not going to lie.  As I sit here and type this blog, I am trying to figure out how I can afford to buy a house on Nevis and rent it out all the while vacationing down there multiple times a year.....Dream on Charleston Hokie, dream on...

Nevis is a gorgeous island in the caribbean located just south of St. Kitts.  So we went from CHS to CLT-St Kitts.  And in our layover in CLT picked up our two friends, Cristen & Phil who were vacationing with us!  (Yeah for bringing friends on a trip!)  Once we arrived in St. Kitts, we were taken via taxi by "Seamoss" to Reggae Beach (re-named by me & Cristen "Boobie Beach" as in Chad and Phil were going to see more boobs there then they were the whole trip!)  We had a private boat take us from St. Kitts over to Oualie Beach, Nevis where our house concierge, Rita, picked us up and took us to our amazing house.

Our view from the house-looking towards St. Kitts

One of the coolest things about where we stayed (other than the awesome central location and proximity to the beach) were the animals that you saw.  We had goats, sheep, donkeys, piglets (which I heard but never saw), cows and MONKEYS that hung out around the house.  The monkeys were pretty cool.  They are African Velvet Monkeys and while the islanders hate them (because they take their fruit from the trees, eat one bite, and throw it away) us tourists loved them!

How about I mention the gorgeous sunsets...those were pretty darn spectacular...

But my goodness-the beaches, the gorgeous, gorgeous beaches...Miss them already..

My camera really did absolutely no justice to the beaches.  Next trip-HD lens for sure.

I've been so slack posting my pictures and have lots more to share....I think my problem is if I post pictures, my vacation is officially over....sigh...I just can't accept that....
