Same here. Labels came with Holiday Information but everything else printed and ready. Now we are looking at things to do in St Lucia and St Kitts after 2 tours cancelled. Train looks good for St Kitts, so may venture there.

Then Manchester here we come.
Regards

Peter

Hi to you all, we've booked trips for the various islands but do you happen to know which ones have been cancelled? Getting excited, just over 4 weeks to go and then relaxation and sunshine, hopefully, for 2 weeks, heaven!!! :D

Hi margtee,

Dominica has been replaced with St Kitts, so all of the trips are also cancelled. St Kitts trips are now on-line. On St Lucia the 'St Lucia from the sky' has been cancelled due to operational circumstances. Most probably they did not book until last minute and then found they were full.

Not sure if any others have been cancelled.
Regards

Peter

Hi Peter, thanks for that. We knew about St Kitts but thought there might have been others cancelled but seems I might have read the previous posts incorrectly! Silly me! Got trips booked for all islands so all we need now is to get there! I note they say St Lucia is possible tender, hope that doesn't happen cus don't like the idea of that, got a thing about transferring boats after an unfortunate incident in Turkey, still no good worrying I suppose just got to get on with it and hope for the best.

regards

Margtee

Hi Margtee,
We have been to St Lucia at least 10 times and have never tendered yet. There are two sides to the port Seraphine point and the old town side. There is a little ferry boat which transports pax between the two or it is about a 20 minute walk round the bay.

Hi Suekersh, thanks for putting my mind at a bit more ease! I've even looked at whatsoninport website and they show no other ships apart from ours so don't know why they are saying possible tenders, just one of their little quirks maybe. Is that the Pitons I spot in the background of your picture or somewhere else?

Hi yes it is the Pitons. Looking forward to doing the same trip this time. There is a fabulous beach in between the Pitons. The snorkelling is amazing. Boat there and back just love sitting at the back of the boat in the sun with the sea spraying up. Can't wait. Just hope this trip isn't cancelled.

Hi Sue,

Sorry for the delay in replying. We are doing the 4x4 and beach tour on St Kitts.
We are going to DIY in Antigua to Valley Church Beach, this seems to get reviews and is not too pricey with the taxi.

Hi Andy, not heard of that beach on Antigua so will google it. There are so many beaches on Antigua but we haven't really found one yet that we would go back to. Need to keep going back to try more.

Hello all

Just to let you know that as my group on the previous forum is no more, I've suggested a get-together on the 22nd - details on The Meeting Place.

Hope to meet some of you on board. :D

Pauline

Just over 3 weeks to go.

Clothes sorted.. having never fly-cruised before and only allowed 23kg I went through a dummy pack.

First the good news.

1. Everything still fits.
2. Everything I want to take, fits into 1 case.
3. The case and clothes weighs 20Kg. so underweight.

Now the bad.

1. My hand luggage case weighs 2.5Kg empty. So, I have 2.5Kg left.
Regards

Peter
