St. Lucia

It was extremely difficult choosing just a few pictures that captured our trip to St. Lucia. I have hundreds more to share if you are interested!

Just when I thought I couldn't top a fun filled weekend with giners in OKC, we headed south to the tropical paradise called St. Lucia. Words cannot express how wonderful this vacation was. We had the time of our life! Justin and I vowed that we would not wait another 12 years before taking another trip.

Some of the highlights were: ziplining through the rain forest; visiting the volcano; snorkeling; swimming in the ocean; walks on the beach each night before bed; and laughing our damn heads off. We could not have asked for a more compatible group of travel partners. Every day was a new adventure and every night we truly had a ball. My abs got a good workout from laughing so much and my leg muscles got a good workout from walking back and forth up the hill to our room. It was worth it though. One of the pictures (with the orange roof) was the view from our room and it was breathtaking!

We enjoyed getting to know our bartenders who are locals. They have never been off the island! My impression was that most of the people there are very poor and rely on tourism. There were 3-5 cruise ships that came in and out every single day! I cannot imagine how many thousands of people are in and out of that port daily.... it was unbelievable! But we did leave our resort and felt safe. The people are very nice there and we did not feel we were ever in danger.

If you have never been to an all inclusive resort, I would highly recommend it. Your vacation is paid for before you leave so when you get there you do not have to worry about a thing. The moto in St. Lucia was "no pressure, no problem". The food was fabulous and the drinks were ever flowing! We are already planning our next trip, so let me know if you want in on the fun!
