The preparation for a vacation is almost as
exhilarating as the vacation itself. I love printing out the tickets and
confirmations while thinking about how much fun I will have on vacation. I
enjoy researching all the sights at the location I will see once I arrive at my
destination. When you want to plan a vacation contact me!

Why is St Lucia the perfect vacation destination?
Many of us are looking for the perfect vacation and the perfect vacation also
means the perfect location, but how do you choose where to go for that well
deserved vacation? I mean, with so many destination to choose from, how do you
which one is the most ideal for you. I'm sure if you had the money you would just do some random traveling, but not everyone is so fortunate.
So what exactly is a perfect vacation destination? Well I'm no expert on traveling but to my mind, the perfect destination is some where you go to get those things you are looking for on a vacation. With that said, the question still remain, does St Lucia cater to those vacation needs that you're looking for?
Before we go further, let me give you a brief description on St Lucia and what you can expect on a vacation here.
St Lucia is a small Island towards the center of the Caribbean chain only 238 sq miles, which means, you can drive around the island in less than three hours. This small island is as the St Lucia tourist board puts it "simply beautiful".
Here are some of the few things you will find.
Luscious green vegetation all over the island, two majestic twin peaks (pitons) which has recently gotten world heritage site status, the only drive in volcano in the world, several scuba diving site, snorkeling sites, turtle watching, whale watching, some of the loveliest beaches in the world, night activities, top notch hotels and restaurants, golfing in close proximity to several hotels, site seeing and much more.
If you're coming to St Lucia by plane, then everyday there are several flights to and from the US, Canada and the United Kingdom, making booking your flight easy as 123. You may be traveling by cruise, well that is definitely not a problem because every year, hundreds of cruise ships grace our shores with thousands of visitors. There is basically something for everyone here.
Let me first point out to you that St Lucia's main revenue comes from tourism, so you can rest assured that a lot of emphasis is being placed on the well being of every visitor to the island. After visiting St Lucia you will realize why so many visitors keep coming back.
Finding some where to stay in St Lucia is quite easy; there are so many hotels, villas and vacation homes to choose from. You can choose an all inclusive hotel where you will have no surprise expenses or if you want to experience local cuisine from different restaurants that can also be arranged. I'm sure you will find the right deal for you because you can find high priced hotels as well low budget priced hotels. There are also several hotels that have kid's activities, living mom and dad with enough time to spend with each other.
With so many things to do in St Lucia, it's hard not to see why St Lucia is not the ideal place to have the perfect vacation whether it is with the family, traveling solo, with that special person in your life or if you planning on getting married. Every year hundreds of people all over the world come to St Lucia to tie the knot. In fact readers of the Caribbean World Magazine have voted St Lucia several times as the Caribbean Wedding Island of the Year" and Honeymoon Island of the Year.
I know that St Lucia is a wonderful country; because that's the reason I live there. So if you have never visited St Lucia before, start making plans to see why Oprah Winfrey, Harrison Ford, David Bowie, Bill Gates, Wyclef Jean, Whitney Houston, Bill Clinton, Nicolas Cage and so many prestigious people keep coming back to St Lucia.
