There is a mansion on the hill above us. This boat will make it difficult for the owners to get out of their drive way!

This picture was taken from just up the road from our apartment. The bay down there is Timothy Bay, which is where we were swimming yesterday. Needless to say the water is no longer as smooth as glass! Thanks Earl...Willie and Erin.

This gentleman was walking the beach with his fly rod, right where we were swimming. I went over to get some info on the fishing from him. He is from "New Zealand" he enjoys coming to St. Kitts on "Holiday." All he does is wander the beaches fishing while he is here. He reported that there are a lot of fish here! Five minuets later we watched him reel in a fish. I AM DYING TO START FISHING......But Earl had other plans!......Willie

Our first time in the ocean! We are in Timothy bay here, on the caribbean side of the island. The water is crystal clear, warm, and smooth as glass. We were lucky enough to get some beach time in before Earl got here!

Landing in St. Kitts!

We Made it!!!

Well we had a good trip into St. Kitts, no major problems at all with flights, bags, or customs...Our apartment looks just like the pictures, it is clean and in a nice neighborhood. What else do we need?

How fun is it that we get to move to the Caribbean during hurricane season! We have had our first hurricane, Earl. He hit last night as a category 2 (almost a 3)...Overall it was a pretty impressive storm, from what we heard of it. Our apartment is equipped with storm shutters, so we were closed up pretty tight...We meant our neighbor, who lives above us. She is actually the owner of the house we live in. Our apartment is basically the bottom part of the house. She lives alone and Willie helped her a lot last night in preparing for the storm.

The house has survived well, as the worse of Earl is now over. Except we do have a leak by our washer and dryer and have water in our living room...Willie is working on it, it is not too bad:)

Orientation was canceled for today, due to the hurricane. So we start tomorrow! Today has been nice just moving in and getting organized.

Getting Closer

Hello Everyone,

As our first blog we thought we would share some pictures of our new home. Our apartment is in Frigate Bay, St. Kitts. Frigate Bay is seven miles from the campus of Ross University, and is close to many restaurants and hotels. It is a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment. As you can see in the pictures the outside is more impressive than the inside:) Not that we intend to be in our apartment much...most importantly, we are 2-4 blocks from the beach...
We will keep you posted on all the adventures here!

Willie and Erin
