      About the Author

      K.C. Nash is a professional travel writer with years of experience in writing feature stories for magazines and newspapers.  She lives in Antigua, one of the Leewards, and frequently travels throughout the region to explore new developments and share them with her readers.

      Before moving to Antigua in 2005, K.C. lived in the East Bay area of San Francisco, and served as a special sections editor and feature writer for the Contra Costa Times newspaper chain. She also contributed articles to Diablo Magazine, an award-winning regional publication based in the East Bay.

      Most recently, she has been a contributor to the Caribbean Edge website, and now hosts her own site, www.leewardislands.net, where she will be updating the information contained in this book on a continuous basis.

      Acknowledgments

      I would like to thank my husband Willie Nash, Jr. for his patient support over the last year as I researched each island. I truly enjoyed his company as we visited hotels, restaurants and various attractions on each island. He always had insightful questions and cogent observations to add—especially when I completely missed the obvious or got too cranky and out of sorts to think of good questions.

      I would also like to thank the professional staff members of the tourism boards and authorities on each island who were so helpful in arranging tours and visits, and generally supporting the publication of this book. They include Director Amelia Vanterpool-Kubisch and Merlyn Rogers of the Anguilla Tourist Board; Director General Lorraine Headley and U.S. Director of Tourism Derede Samuel-Whitlock of the Antigua and Barbuda Ministry of Tourism; Director Ernestine Cassell, Ishwar Persad and Jadine Glitzenhirn of the Montserrat Tourist Board; Director Glenn Holm of the Saba Tourism Office; Director Christine Walwyn and her capable staff members Diannille Taylor and Wendell Pemberton of St. Kitts; Chief Executive Officer Helen Kidd and Angelique France of the Nevis Tourism Authority; and Director of Tourism Elise Magras of St. Barths for their kind assistance.

      I appreciate the time each of the hotel and restaurant managers and staff took to tell me about their properties and take me on tours. Without their patient guidance, this book would be a lot shorter and half as valuable.

      Introduction

      What Type Are You?

      Before you decide where to go in the Leeward Islands beyond St. Barts, you should examine your needs and desires – and especially your traveling style. Take a look at the suggested styles below, and see which description fits you best.

      The Perfect Cruise Passenger

      Your idea of the perfect vacation is settling into one place and having the world come to you. Your idea of heaven includes multiple restaurants to choose from, loads of entertainment, fun activities and shopping… all within a short distance from your room. And you still want to explore different cultures, albeit in quick glimpses that can be had on an organized tour, so that you can return to your little haven on or by the sea.

      The Boots-On Adventurer

      To you, the world is one big hiking trail supplemented by huge pools for your kayaking, sailing, parasailing or diving activities. The more explorations you can cram into a day the better – and then at the end of the day you want to see what the local culture has to explore in the way of cuisines and entertainment. Beach-sitting, lazy swimming in a warm pool, or sitting on a balcony reading a good book are not among your preferred activities.

      The Cultural Explorer

      The world is a fascinating place, and you want to know as much about it as you can. You love talking to hotel owners, restaurateurs, tour operators and just ordinary people to hear what they like best about their country. You are game to try native cuisines (although monkey brains may not be to your liking), dances, games and anything different from your own culture. You’d prefer to stay in places that don’t remind you of home, but give you a new view of the world at large.

      The I Like What I Like Traveler

      You still expect all the comforts of home when you travel – including the foods you normally eat, the type of bed you sleep in, and the media you are accustomed to. You would like a little adventure, but for the most part you don’t want to be inconvenienced by a lot of unfamiliar things
