Shocking My System

Four days in St. Lucia is not nearly enough. It is an incredibly gorgeous island filled with, as far as I can tell, truly attractive and nice people. Even though we barely left the resort (four days isn't all that long, especially when you have a wedding and wedding-related events to attend) I think I can safely say that St. Lucians are good people.

Here's the view from one of our group's villas:



We had a little disaster on our way: during our layover in San Juan, the air traffic controllers in Port-au-Pitre, Guadalupe went on strike. Seems they're the only controllers for the all the islands. We were literally in line to board the plane when the airline employees told us to sit back down because they didn't know when or if we'd be leaving.

Panic insued, naturally, in part because we had the maid of honor (the bride's sister) traveling with us. But everything worked out - as it turns out, our flight was only delayed for an hour and we all arrived extremely happy.

Coming home was rough, too. We left too early (four days was NOT enough) and flew into a windy, post-blizzard Baltimore. More pics to follow.
