St Lucia Day 1
After 3 layovers flying from Des Moines to Chicago to San Juan to St. Lucia, we've arrived. The airport here was pretty crazy. There are actually 2 airports in St Lucia - 1 is big and international, the other only services the islands - this is the one we flew into. The "terminal" is actually just an outdoor hallway covered with a roof. The gate numbers are painted on little signs above the doorways, and our luggage was hauled from the plane with an allis-chalmers tractor. It ruled. It was also nice because our airport was only like 15 minutes from the resort. The drive here was fun, we took a little RH drive van and saw random cows and horses walking around in the narrow streets, etc.
So after 12+ hours of travel we arrived at the Sandals Grand St Lucian and were immediately escorted to some couches in the main lobby, were brought champagne, and then were checked in. After that we checked out the olde london pub. Lots of people complained about the food but apparently they were ordering the wrong stuff because our entrees (poached salmon and roasted lamb leg) were great. Plus sipping Johnny Walker Black and the local Piton Lager really made me feel at home, haha.
So yeah, no internet in the rooms, but I found a little business center that I can plugin to. So articles might come in spurts. And pictures will come when I get home. Wish you were here. Suckers, haha.
