The Hermitage Plantation Inn, Nevis
It's no secret that I love old things... when I see the words "flea market" or "antiques" on roadside signs... my heart rate increases and it takes serious self control to stay on my intended course. Obviously, the old homes of the Caribbean give me great joy! I've been known to stray from many intended courses in the Caribbean and pull over to explore ruins of great houses or sugar mills... So it is with great joy that I introduce you to The Hermitage Plantation Inn... one of the oldest hotels on the isle of Nevis and one of the oldest Caribbean homes.
Dine on antique china... seated on a gingerbread terrace... in the evening breeze...
Enjoy hours of conversation... sip rum recipes passed down for a few hundreds years... and watch the setting sun cast long shadows across the antique oriental rugs...
Dream in a four poster bed... the real thing... there are no replicas here...
Let the bright yellow shutters of the stable house catch your eye and warm your soul... time and time again...
Wander the mature tropical gardens on your way here... and there...
Yes, I mentioned gingerbread...
The beach isn't too far away... and the cool pool is even closer...
Nevis awaits... to welcome you!

Make a Difference - Caribbean Volunteer Expeditions
Caribbean Volunteer Expeditions is an organization built around giving back with a tagline of: "Preservation in Paradise". Having conducted their first do-gooder trip in 1990, they continue to plan 4-5 trips a year independently and another 3-4 in conjunction with the international Elderhostel program.Who participates in these trips?
CVE accomplishes it’s mission by recruiting volunteers from the US and Canada. These people are often architects, architectural historians, people in the preservation field, or people generally interested in preservation. The CVE volunteer is a person who enjoys the Caribbean, but also wants to contribute and be involved in an island’s culture. Our volunteers meet the preservationists, scholars, and historians involved with Caribbean preservation.

Here is a sampling of the trips planned for 2008-2009. Visit their website for full details and to see how you can help! SAN SALVADOR, BAHAMAS: Mapping at plantation site Dec 13- 20, 2009
San Salvador Island, Commonwealth of the Bahamas, is one of the eastern most islands of this archipelago off the southeast coast of Florida, and was the first landfall of Columbus in 1492. The island is pristine, ringed with beautiful beaches. We will be working with archeologist, John Winter, who has had over 25 years experience working in archeology on San Salvador. The island was first inhabited by Indians who migrated from South America, and later by Loyalists, fleeing the US after the revolutionary war. Archeological finds have included Indian, Spanish, and other European colonists artifacts. Accommodations are double occupancy, motel-type rooms at the Gerace Research Center.
