Stephanie's Hotel Gros Islet

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.

My room had a terrace ...

... and I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s not the best example of a cuisine known for fresh fish and exotic fruits. <br><br>So lots to look forward to and I can&#8217;t wait to get back and enlighten everybody of my daily adventures, which I am sure will turn my friends and colleagues even greener than they are now. <br><br>Kat Hayter<br><br>Be sure to check my blog regularly for updates on my time in St. Lucia.

... Sulfur Springs, im so glad the rotten egg smell change to a delightful fresh air. Then we proceed to the final tour which is at the Torraille Fall. Since we dont have enough time, we just spend some 25 minutes there. The falls is small, but i submerge myself quickly to check out the water. Wow the water was great, its not cold nor warm..perfect! Its time to go back to the ship...again we pass ...

... the coast line into Marigot Bay. The landscape was totally superb with its deep blue coloured water breaking its waves on the huge cliffs along the way. In the background, the famous Pitons were providing a phenominal exotic landscape. These two huge mountains sticking out of the sea like some mysterious sea creatures were totally breathtaking. Knowing that they are the most recognizable landmarks in the Caribbean and that I was ...

... evening in Tyrrel Bay. Chris headed in for what should have been a short visit. About an hour and a half later, he came back saying that since it was a public holiday, he was only able to check in with Immigration. The Customs office was in another building and had indeed taken the day off. Ei-yi-yi. What to do? We now had a time constraint. Owen needed to be in Grenada in less than 48 ...
