    Favorite Beach Bars: Sunshine’s Beach Bar, Nevis

    April 29, 2012 / No Comments

    When you tell people you just got back from Nevis, they either ask, “Where is Nevis?” or “Did you get a Killer Bee from Sunshine’s?” Sunshine’s Beach Bar is an institution on Pinney’s Beach, just a short walk from the Four Seasons.  We arrived on Nevis just as the sun was setting, and after being shown to our rooms, we changed clothes and headed to Sunshine’s. Looking around Sunshine’s, you can see the love of the patrons over the years.  The ceiling is covered with flags from schools, states, and organizations. It was clear that a number of Wisconsin residents had visited! The walls are covered in license plates from…

    Favorite Beach Bars: Da Conch Shack, Providenciales

    April 29, 2012 / No Comments

    It has been said that food always tastes better with your feet in the sand.  That’s true, and it tastes even better if you can have a rum punch in your hand while you watch them pull your meal from the sea.  At Da Conch Shack in the Blue Hills area of Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, you can experience just that.  We discovered Da Conch Shack on our second trip to Providenciales in 2008.  We visited the Blue Hills area in 2006 when we went to the Turks and Caicos Conch Festival, but we did not make it to Da Conch Shack.  We visited on our trip in 2008,…

    Crime in the Caribbean

    February 15, 2012 / No Comments

    All over the news today was the story about U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer being robbed at knife-point in his vacation home in Nevis.  Immediately, there were commentaries questioning the safety of travel to the Caribbean.  Having recently returned from nine days on Nevis, I have to say that I never feared for my safety or felt uncomfortable, and we traveled all over the island.  People should no doubt exercise caution for their own safety wherever they go, but it seems to be an over reaction to suggest that one should not travel there.  If that were the case, many U.S. cities would rarely see visitors.  Even Milwaukee, Wisconsin,…

    $1US = $2.70EC Eastern Caribbean and US Dollars

    January 14, 2012 / No Comments

    The Eastern Caribbean Dollar is the official currency of eight of the nine members of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States.  Those countries include Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.  The exception is the British Virgin Islands, whose official currency is the U.S. dollar.  We have been able to use either U.S. currency or the E.C. in Anguilla and Nevis. You just have to let the vendor know which you intend to use so that they can give you the correct amount.  However, keep in mind that if you use a cash machine on these islands, it…
