Our car's broke down, we spent a month apartment hunting, I work and come home and do things here, I don't really have a social life (neither does my husband unless you count studying in the union!), we don't get quality time together to do fun things, we live on a POS island.. and well, who wants to hear about that stuff! To everyone outside of St Kitts- we live in paradise.. My question to you is - have you EVER LIVED here? Try it.. then see if your idea of paradise changes!
