What a day. We left this morning from Provo, Turks and Caicos...and flew 3 and a half hours to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. We decided to go on from there to Grenada, but not without going through the trials of customs! Yay! Customs! Our favorite! Finally after around 2 hours of waiting and utter confusion, we took off from St. Thomas and only got so far as St. Lucia, the sun was setting faster than we thought and so we changed our plan and landed here. After more chaos and confusion in customs we made it to our cute little hotel...finally something decent, where we may actually feel safe. And they are actually friendly here, so that makes the experience that much better. We will take off tomorrow morning and fly on to Grenada and beyond perhaps to Suriname.
Thanks again for all the comments, we forgot all our troubles and tiring day, when we read them....all the best back home and beyond....keep in touch!
Here are some pics to make you drool....we love St. Lucia...
ps...none of these pictures are of st. lucia, as we arrived here at sunset, so it got dark quite quickly...the top of enroute to St. Thomas, the second pic is the St. Thomas airport, the third picture is taking off from St. Thomas and the bottom is the view from our Turks hotel room...
