So...Both Luke and I have been extremely LAZY when it comes to taking our camera out anywhere. We haven't taken pictures of anything but the inside of the apartment! I think because we live here now, we don't feel the need to take pictures of the island, or our team...but I keep saying to myself "I'll bring my camera out with me next time"...as I'd like to try to document our experiences here. Anyway, here are some pictures from one of my co-workers camera.At the very least they'll give you an idea of our fellow Sales Executives.
Above is a picture from our first day here (we did an evening cruise on a catamaran). The people pictured above are a mix of our Marketing & Sales Directors from the Greenville office, as well as our team here on the ground. I'm in the middle with the white hat on. We went horse back riding right before this, so we all looked a little beat.
This is a picture of most of our Sales Team.From Left to Right: Martin (from South Carolina), Laura (from Maui), Luke, Me, Brian (Director of Sales - from Carlsbad), Fredonna (wife of Dave), Dave (from Michigan), Kelly (from St. Louis), Fitz (South Carolina). Not pictured is Rob (from South Carolina), Amzie (from Tennesse), Jeff (from Florida), Elliot (from Georgia), and Laura (from Florida). Fitz, Elliot and Laura are part of our Operations staff, and the rest of us are Sales Executives. We were on the island of Nevis, having lunch and taking a look at the Four Seasons (scouting out the competition).
This picture is sideways...There are monkey crossing signs everywhere in Nevis! The monkeys here on the island of St. Kitts are green vervet monkies. They are little, grey, and have long tails that have green at the end of them. They are all over the peninsula.
Our second day of training - they took us to a great restaurant called Serendipity. On the left is Charles (he works for IMI's St. Lucia project (the Raffles Hotel) and was just in town helping with our training); then Kelly, Luke, me.
Fitz and I caught a blue runner fish. I insisted we put it back. This was the first Sunday we spent in St. Kitts - on a local's boat.
Luke and I snorkeled in a place called "Shitten Bay." Despite the name of the spot, it was beautiful. Lots of fish...we even saw an eagle ray jump out of the water!
We have gone hiking a few times out on the peninsula...it affords some awesome views.
This is Luke at the top of "Priddies Plateau" (where our future Tom Fazio golf course will be built). Elevation 1,047 ft.
That is the island of Nevis you see in the background.
There were five of us on the hike (Rob, Kelly, myself, Luke) ~ and then our friend Ricky (local realtor on the island of St. Kitts) took the picture for us.
Rob and Luke at our favorite beachside bar called "Shipwrecks" (yummy chicken tacos, and they have a great band every Sunday afternoon). Sun is almost setting the background...how romantic for Rob and Luke! :)
We had a progressive dinner on Saturday night (this past weekend). At the first house we had appetizers (I helped with those), the next house had salad, then dinner, then dessert. It was a blast! We did this at the Calypso Bay houses (where most of our team lives). Luke & I, and Rob & Amzie - live in apartments in Frigate Bay (about 5 minutes away from Calypso Bay). We got the shaft in the living situation...but we got over it. :)
Going clockwise, starting at the left: Amzie, Kelly, me, Fitz, Laura, Rob (head cut off), Elliot (in the front).
This is Brian and his wife Jenny, and their daughter Shey. Brian was joking around as we were leaving the house, making sure not to forget the Rum. He is such a cool Director. Has been selling real estate for over 25 years, about 10 years of which was in Palm Desert. They also have a nine year old, named Quinton.And below is a picture of Martin's wife - Kim, and their baby boy - Noah. He is just 5 months old. They were living in Greenville before moving here. Martin used to be a professional golfer.
That's all for now...will send more pictures soon!! Love you & miss you ~ Christina
