There was the Providenciales Thursday Fish Fry in Turks and Caicos. There was the Friday Oistin Fish Fry in Barbados. There was the Sunday Fish in Samoa.

And now the Friday Street Fest in St. Lucia.

These islands seems to have a decompression day every week where everybody comes out and has food and drinks outside with a lot of island music and dancing.

It was a long drive – nearly one hour – for such a small island. The airport is in the southernmost corner of the island. The runway is literally off the edge of the water – on both sides!! And the hotels and beaches are on the north side. In between are the mountains and the roads have a lot of curves and hair pin bends. The forests in the mountains are as lush as rainforests of Costa Rica. The drive itself reminded us of St. Croix a lot.

This is the second time we are having this experience. Our hotel – Sandals – had a lounge for incoming passengers where you freshen up, have some coffee or drinks and snacks and then head out to the hotel when you are ready. We had the same experience in Fiji earlier this year. That one was a Marriott lounge.

… another island trip, of course! 16th trip to some Caribbean island (and the 28th Caribbean island we would be visiting). Crazy thing is … we have never gotten on to a cruise ship!

Our shirt colors were on brand though!!
