Vacation Report

So after flying 7 hours, travelling 1000 miles, etc, etc... Not so much with the St. Lucia. Don't get me wrong, the beaches are nice, but unless you're one of the people who just stays inside of your resort all of the time, you'll be sorely disappointed. The people of the island are rude, greedy, and view americans/white people as nothing but moneybags. At one point, after volunteering directions (that I didn't need - I was already going the right way and didn't ask) a native girl stuck her hand out at me and demanded payment. I refused and she got beligerant. At another time I actually had natives attack the car I was in - demanding money. The few times I drove through the captial city (The Castries) - the driving was nigh on impossible since the pedestrians just walk out in traffic whenever they want. Oftentimes right in front of you.

Therefore, not so much with the Saint Lucia.
