Nevis





We just got back from my company trip to Nevis. I cannot explain how beautiful it was. Definitely the most beautiful beach and place I have ever been. I added several pictures so you could get an idea of the island. Where is Nevis you ask??? Well here is a link to a map..http://encarta.msn.com/map_701515040/Nevis.html I have never done that before, so I hope it works. Basically we flew into Miami and got on another plane and went 2 and a half hours south... It is an island in the West Indies. I want to post a few more pictures, but they will be out of order so I might do another post for some snapshots.

No words necessary...




This was the view from our room. We were on the ground level. There was a pool in front then the ocean right after that.
View of the pool and the beach..Man I wish we were still there and not back in the real world..
The pool and the ocean. This was the view from the chair I was parked in all week. The staff would walk around and bring you fresh fruit and ice water.
This is what the outside of the rooms looked like. They were 2 story and covered with palm trees. There were 10-12 buildings like this.
The water was very calm and clear. I really wish I had taken more pictures. I don't think these pictures capture the beauty of this place.






This is the view from the front side of our room. The golf course was right there. For most of the trip that mountain was covered in fog. There were mountains and other islands all around.

These pictures are totaly out of order. We landed in St. Kitts and got on a ferry for about 45 minutes to Nevis. Thank goodness for motion sick medicine! Thanks Casey, my pharmacist!! This picture is looking back on St. Kitts. It was kind of overcast when we arrived.
On our way to dinner the first night we saw this rainbow. So beautiful. This is right by the 18th hole on the golf course.
The pool again...







This picture was taken at a local place called Sunshines down from the hotel. This local guy was trying to teach me some dance (and sell us cd's and jewelry). Sunshines is a shack, but is very popular. They have pictures of several celebrities on the doors of the shack. The food was fantastic and very cheap.
Ed and another guy from the trip playing golf.
Here is our roon. We stayed at the Four Seasons and let me just say we would have never been able to go on this trip if my company had not paid for it. We were treated like royalty. The service was great and the room was huge.
The bathroom-
Here is a view of our room on the outside. It doesn't look like much from the outside. We were the last room on the bottom.

We had a great trip. I wish I had more pics of Ed and me together. It looks like we were on our honeymoon b/c there is only one of us in the picture at a time.. Ha Ha.. I have got to be better about that.
