St. Kitts Adventure

Well, I'm playing catch up. I took a break from writing and decided it was long enough. I have a lot of trips to write about and I'm going back to 2016 when my wife and I went to St. Kitts for business. I was there for work, but being at at 4 pm every day meant there was plenty of time for a good time. We stayed at the Marriott Resort which had lots to do, but exploring new places is what I love so we didn't stay at the resort long. 
Our first night there, we walked down the road to a big open field where a lot of locals were flying kites as is tradition there around Easter. we made a few friends and they told us to head to Shiggidy Shack because that's where the party was in the evening. 


Marriott Resort where we stayed. No complaints with views like that.




A monkey we saw on the say to Shiggidy Shack.
Shiggidy Shack is a beach bar & grill that you can find at the end of the world (this place had to be the spot that inspired Kenny Chesney's song). We had great food, and a watching a fire breather was great fun along with the music and dancing.

Shiggidy Shack. This is where the party starts when the sun goes down.

People being baptized as we made our way out to fish. 

 We got to to a snorkeling/fishing trip that last day we were there which was great. We started off snorkeling along a ship wreck and saw all sorts of fish. After we went out a ways and bottom fished for grouper and whatever else cared to bite.

My biggest Red Grouper of the trip.

Chelsea caught the biggest fish of the trip with this nice Red Grouper. She didn't want to hold it.

Beautiful sunset to end the trip.
