"Sex and The City" movie viewing party

Salisha & Kim decided to throw a "Sex and The City" party for the ladies of St. Kitts, last Sunday afternoon. They even got a bootleg copy of the actual movie (which, obviously, has not come out here yet). The backyard was decorated with Chinese lanterns (because Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha always met for Chinese food), and we drank Cosmos & Martinis! They even set a red carpet for everyone's arrival...and had a Bouncer at the door, with a clip board to make sure you were "on the list."

We were supposed to dress as one of the four characters in the show...so I did my best imitation of Carrie Bradshaw. Given the fact there is no shopping here, I had to use whatever I had in my apartment...so I threw on a dress, some stilettos, one of Luke's hats (I remember Carrie sometimes wore random "avaunt guard" hats), and made myself (out of construction paper & a coat hanger) an oversize fabric flower. Just like she wears in the movie. :)

Four boys decided to crash the party (Luke, Martin, Roger & Fitz)...dressed like women in all of our dresses, with all of our jewelry on! It was hilarious, and a total surprise!

Sunday afternoon on the boat...

Some of our IMI Marketing folks came to St. Kitts today...so we took them sailing on the "Swaliga." That's Jonathan (pictured above) -- the Captain of the Swaliga -- and he let me run us all the way back to port. It was a little stressful, but a successful ride! Dance party USA was going on while I was driving...it was wild.

ATV Tour

We had a day of ATV-ing in honor of a friend's 30th Birthday. We started the tour at this old plantation house (pictured below) - on the west side of the island - and went up into the rain forest...which was very cool. We got really dusty & dirty, went very fast, and had a LOT of fun!

Brimstone Hill

After ATV-ing...we had a picnic at "Brimstone Hill" (otherwise known as The Gibraltar of the West Indies). The Fort at Brimstone Hill is situated almost 800 feet above sea level, and has some of the most remarkable views in all the Caribbean. It was originally built & occupied by the British, until 1782 when the French bombarded the fort and took it over. One year later, when the Treaty of Versailles returned St. Kitts to British rule, the British owned it once again. Brimstone Hill was abandoned in 1851, and the fort suffered neglect and vandalism for the next century. In 1965, when the site became a national park, intensive restoration returned the imposing fortress perched atop the hill to its original grandeur. My pictures just don't do it justice I tell you!

Courtney & Andrew's Visit

Courtney & Andrew came to visit for 3 days. We hung out at the beach...went out for nice dinners...and went sailing! See below pics...
