No Boys Allowed

Due to the quickly approaching Block 1 exams, Andee has been a little preoccupied with, well, Medical School.  Long days and nights filled with school and studying allow for very little fun!  But don't worry, I got in enough St. Kitts for the both of us!

All the desperate housewives are in a similar position, with their husbands studying away, and so we organized lots of Girls Nights, Days, and Evenings to keep us busy!

The first of our endeavors involved the "Dance Central" video game, some desperate housewives, and some "friendly" rivalry!  I thought I was really good until I realized, after watching a video of myself, that I still needed a lot of practice before I could confidently challenge anyone to some real competition!

We also engaged in some weekly trivia, which has conveniently moved to Bamboo Lounge, within walking distance of our apartment!  Another plus - the brand new Indian Restaurant upstairs that provides Specials just for trivia-goers!  Perfect!

Friday was the first anniversary of Bamboo Lounge, and so we had a fun-filled night out with the girls....and virtually every student living on the island!  It was crazy packed, and all the students had one last night out before block exams!  Where was my Andee?  Studying hard like the dedicated student he is!

On Tuesday Kristen and I decided to act like tourists and visit Frier's Bay and Shipwreck Beach, a popular tourist spot that is known for its beautiful beaches, amazing snorkeling, a hangout for monkeys, and a great place to get lunch!  Seems that we had forgotten that St. Kitts is so awesome!  All of this amazingness is literally minutes away from our apartment, and for some reason we tend to stick with places within walking distance.  We vowed to do this way more often, and really enjoy our time on St. Kitts for what it is....a 16 month vacation!

Yesterday was Kristen's Birthday, which of course involved an entire day of celebrations!  Our first stop, Cockleshell Beach, consisted of 1 free basket of fries, 2 free pizzas, and 8 free drinks, along with a the entire staff singing "Happy Birthday" with a custom-made birthday pizza!  Turns out the owner really loves birthday girls!  Lots of sunshine, snorkeling, and beaching, but the fun wasn't over yet!

Our next stop, Reggae Beach, was quite an interesting series of events.  When attempting to drive into the parking lot, my neighbor Janae accidentally drove us into the sand!  You think driving in the snow is hard, try driving in the sand!  30 minutes, a truck and a chain, the St. Kitts military, and a donkey ride later, we were finally back on our way to our beloved Crackhouses!  Yes, all of these things legitimately happened, and we have the pictures to prove it!

That evening, we went out to Cathy's Restaurant for Kristen's Birthday Dinner, followed by some dancing at Shiggity Shack!  It was a beautiful "cool" night, and we certainly celebrated Kristen's birthday in style on the island!

 

Much of this week has also been anticipating my parents arrival in T-minus 9 days!  I am sooo excited to see them and for them to see St. Kitts!  WOOHOO!!  Put away the snow shovels and get out the beach towels!!
