St. Lucia

Just made reservations for a getaway to St.Lucia next month. I am so excited to see what looks to be a magnificent place to vacation.

We will be staying at Anse Chastanet in a deluxe beachfront room "right on the beach", only a few feet from the waters edge (so they say) I would have liked to stay in one of the rooms in the Pitons (the view looks absolutely beautiful) but my husband wants A/C and no mosquitoes. I'm sure in the end I will be glad we made that choice. Mainly because I've heard to get to your rooms that are up in the pitons, you have to climb 90-100 steps (several times a day). This is a vacation to relax and do almost nothing; I certainly don't want to be walking up and down that many stairs. I think we will be found under an umbrella (drink in hand) on the beach or the hammock that hangs on the porch right outside of the room with a good book. Now I'm sure we'll be a little adventurous and check out the reefs in the area and do some snorkeling and kayaking. And of course, don't forget shopping (I always have energy for that) but for the most part we are looking for a relaxing, get away from it all, romantic, quiet vacation.

I will be posting plenty of pictures and sharing great finds, so check back at the end of July and see what we discover! Yeah, yeah, I know... I won't be discovering much if I'm just laying around. Okay...so maybe one day I'll get up and scout around. Anyway, I'm sure we'll go exploring.
