Thanks for your nice comment...

Definitely a great place to visit.......here's a travel video that gives you a nice "feel" for the Island....I, personally, enjoyed it very much.....we spent nine days there for my Son's wedding....they stayed at the Adult, all inclusive, Sandals Regency Resort, but we wanted to stay on the beach so we stayed at the Rex St. Lucian......it was also an all inclusive resort and had a three hotel complex where you could use the facilities of all.......it is only a short trip from San Juan, Puerto Rico.....we left Dulles, flew to San Juan then took a smaller plane to St. Lucia, but there are flights from Miami, also.......Check out my forum link
"ST. LUCIA IN THE WEST INDIES" for more photos of the island that I took while there......I also pulled up a few links for you to peruse....

Beautiful flowers, great photos. St.Lucia is one of the nicest Islands. Tobago and Barbados are faulous too but my favorite is Dominica (not to be confused withe Dominican Republic) Dominica is largely unspoiled and is a nature lovers Paradise, jungle, excellant beaches and amazing waterfalls!
