St Lucia. Day 1 Thursday

Up early. Did some work, cleared up Bessie’s shit all over the front room and finished last few bits and bobs. Have the kids a send off and then made our way to Heathrow. 

No hassle getting there and all good getting through security. Had some food and drink and then on the plane. 

Time seems to pass so quickly and we were finally on the plane. Okay, not half full and we were treated well. Tash made note of her birthday so we got some champagne which was nice. 

Sat on the plane typing this after 4 hours. Another 4.5hrs to go. Got another beer but might have a snooze. Very excited. Can’t believe we’re going to the Caribbean!!

Decent flight, then an hour to get through customs, was a bit stressful with the forms being right and also having to complete more but we got through it all and then got out 90mins transfer to the hotel. 

Bel Jou is the hotel. Really nice, everyone is super friendly, I think they’re so pleased to have tourists here. Dumped our bags, got into the wifi, and then went up to Lulu’s Cabana as it was Caribbean BBQ night. We were entertained with music and fire eating and limbo. All good fun. 

The food was good and we had a few cocktails and then a wander around before having a nightcap! We’re 4 hours behind here so 9.00pm was 1.00am and we were tired so called it a night. First impressions are good. We should have a good time here.
