excerpts from bob's journal...

The trip was exhausting, starting with the 4:00 wake up call. The plane ride took us first to Montego Bay, Jamaica and then onto Vieux Fort, St. Lucia. Once we arrived we made our way slowly through customs, eventually making our way through a crowd of other couples to a Sandals desk. After giving them our name they directed us to a short stand by line where we were to wait for an open van that would take us to Sandals Halcyon Resort. They quoted us an hour and twenty minute ride. Ugh!

The ride was long and murderous. The trip took us clear across the island, through windy, hilly, pothole infested terrain..

Twelve hours after we started, we arrived at paradise. The resort was perfectly groomed, and the staff was as pleasant as one could ask for. Our room was perhaps 50 yards from the water's edge. Perfect!
