A note from Neil Strauss

When researching and writing parts of Emergency on the island of St. Kitts, I became an unofficial ambassador for the island. I regularly encouraged friends to visit me there while working, and let others stay in my place while I was gone. Eventually, to save the time of writing long emails to each friend, I created a pdf guide. Every time I returned to the island, it seemed a new beach bar or restaurant had sprung up, or a brand new development was being built (and likely still isn't completed). So I added it the guide. Eventually, some visitors suggested just posting it online, since most guide books only offer a few generalized pages on this as-of-yet unmolested gem of Caribbean culture.

So here it is, thanks to web designer Randy Oest. As you visit, please add your own reviews of new restaurants, hotels, and attractions in the Comments section.

Enjoy, and hope to see you on the beach. The rum punch is on me....

Best,
Neil
