St. Kitts in November

 

We arrived safely on Friday morning after flying through the night into San Juan, Puerto Rico.  Then a short flight to St. Kitts and the adventure began.  Friday was spent getting settled which proved to be a challenge with twelve people(two of which are under age 1), sixteen pieces of checked luggage (plus a bunch of backpacks and carry ons), and three rooms scattered all over the property.  We ate pizza for lunch poolside and a late dinner of KFC.  The first nights rest was rough for everyone.   But that didn't stop, Dylan, Howard, my Dad, and I from diving first thing Saturday morning.   Diving with ProDivers proved to be as good as we remembered.   The boat ride was smooth (no seasickness), the equipment superb, and Austin was an excellent guide.   My favorite part of the dive was seeing an octopus ink us. We also enjoyed seeing eels, sting rays, barracuda, lobsters, and lots of colorful fish.  Howard and Dylan were able to hold a sea cucumber and I touched the outside of a jellyfish for the first time.  The afternoon was spent moving from our hotel rooms into the two villas we rented for the week.   Some swam and played at the beach.   Elle, Krissy, Howard, and I went to the whirlpool after dark and it was impossible to get Elle to get out.  A trip to the grocery store for perishable items that we couldn't bring with us rounded out the evening.
