Visited Ottley's Plantation with Lauren as she is up for a visit.  The Inn is quite beautiful and can be quite expensive for a stay there, but from what everyone says it is definitely worth it.

It was originally a 17th Century Sugar Plantation that has been converted to an Inn that covers about 35 acres.  It is located about 20 minutes outside Basseterre on St. Kitts.

At the tip of the island you get to a spot where you can actually see the Atlantic Ocean crashing into the Caribbean Sea.  It is kind of cool as the waves are both going in different directions.

Unfortunately the picture doesn't quite do the scene justice.

Here's a few pictures Jason March sent me of himself with Pedro Martinez's World Series Ring.  He was at Fenway Park in Boston when these were taken after the Boston Red Sox World Series Victory in 2004.

The last photo is of Jason with the World Series trophy.  You can see the Green Monster in the background.

Well the trip was fine and I arrived in St. Kitts safe and sound.  My villa on the resort turned out to be bigger and better than I expected so that was a bonus.  Here's a few pics of my humble abode.

King Size Bed, Three Person Jacuzzi Tub and even a Bidet.  Bidet coming from the French word for "pony" interestingly enough.  Looks like I'll be livin' the Life Of Reilly after all.

I also included a picture of where my villa is located on the resort.  It's an overhead shot from the observation deck of the St. Kitts Marriott Resort.
