Don't think Vegas. Not at all. Think a row of beach shacks up and down the sand just steps from the ocean. Think great music, cold rum punch, and throngs of people, locals and tourists alike. Not far from the St. Kitts Marriott where I was staying, the Strip was the place to be on Friday night. By the time I headed off to bed at 1:45am, I could tell some folks were just getting started.
What I appreciated most at The Shiggidy Shack, The Rainbow, and the rest of the clubs was that everyone mixed and mingled and danced and partied. Medical students living on the island, resort guests, locals, time share owners. Everyone. Only problem is, this is no place for someone who doesn't like to dance. Luckily, that's not an issue for me. I may not be good. But I sure have a good time trying, especially that night in St. Kitts!
