Hangin out at George F.L. Charles airport on our way from St. Lucia to St. Vincent. It's HUGE. One whopping gate, and we think the pilot might also be the flight attendant and work at the airport coffee shop. Just found out that we have at least a one hour delay. Go LIAT air..woohoo. <br><br>Bequia is just a short flight and quick ferry away. We can smell it now...<br><br>Update... we did not make it to Bequia today. Our 11am Liat flight was ...

... floor overlooking the pool and ocean. Rodney Bay area was a bit too tourista for us. It was reminiscent of spring break. To be fair, we did not have an opportunity to explore outside the immediate area. We had our first chicken Roti at Lime- average. Spent the morning on Reduit Beach in St. Lucia. Very nice and relaxing.<br><br>

... us wide awake. Word to the wise, all bags (from the Atl) must be checked within 1 hour before international flights. We squeaked by with exactly one minute to spare (maybe less). <br><br>Enjoying the free Delta Wi-Fi right now as we cruise through the Bermuda Triangle. If we make it through the Devil's Triangle, FABIAN, our kamakaze driver ...

I was finally off on my fam trip to St Lucia! Having met with the 8 other travel agents from all over the UK and Genevieve (the representative from the St Lucia Tourist board) at Gatwick airport, and finding everyone in the group was lovely I was feeling confident I would have a great time. We even had our own check in desk &#8211; the VIP treatment had started already! <br> The flight was as expected from a ...

... of this trip, it is also to learn as much about St Lucia as possible to help me provide a true reflection of this exotic Caribbean paradise. I will be checking out lots of hotels and villas which Select Resorts might like to feature and trying some of the activities and excursions on offer to my customers on their holidays - It&#8217;s a tough job, but someone&#8217;s got to it. <br><br>The title of the ...

... is incredibly picturesque..a mixture of luxuriant tropical vegetation on a mountainous landscape, stunning beaches and Creole culture...now i realized thats why they call St. Lucia----SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL !! Before we carry on to the next tour we stop by to a restaurant and have a quick bite. This time we tried some creole cuisine. It was tasty! Our next tour is in the crater region...the SULFUR ...

... I wished I could live here, on this beautiful exotic island, having this wonderful view in front of me, with tropical foliage and blue crystal waters! SSSight... No harm dreaming! :)<br><br>We then proceeded to Sulphur Springs, the world's only drive-in volcano, got off the mini bus and followed the path leading right next to the volcano's crater. Here, bubbling pools were letting off puffs of odorous steam. I had to cover my ...

... forest. We have a great tour guide that gives us a lot of info about St Lucia. This island looks totally different from Barbados. Barbados is very flat, were as St Lucia is extremely mountainous. The scenery is gorgeous. When we get to the zipline station, we all hit the restroom so as to avoid any unforeseen accidents as we fly along the treetops. Even though I have a fairly severe fear of heights, for some reason I'm not the ...

... cakes, mahi-mahi cakes (or "dolphin" as they call it there), and stuffed crabs. Overall, I think my husband and I spent no more than $15 that night on food. It was incredibly cheap. Some of our fellow travelers, however, had to pay $100 EC, or $40 US for lobster...some of the tents seemed to definitely want to trick the tourists into paying more than they were supposed to. Watch out for that. We stuck to the two food booths that Ti Kaye told us to go to. We also spoke ...

... a tour is a two hundred and sixty year old water wheel, still looking good (it's British) and this drives the cane crusher on the other side of the wall. Rounding the wall one enters a truly Dickensian world. It's just like a giant version of your granny's (or maybe great granny's) mangle, in the middle of a pigsty. Sugar cane and crushed cane - bagas - is everywhere; even in the gear wheels that drive the crusher. Many men lounge about but no attempt appears to be made to tidy up ...
