Okay, it's not exactly a cure for cancer, but any initiative that does cut down on fossil fuel reliance still resonates with me. So, I was pretty excited to see that the Jalousie Plantation has adopted a hybrid solar-powered golf cart to move guests around on its 192-acre ...Concierge's IT List: Places for upscale tastes, but maybe cheaper

Heading out on a sunset cruise filled with couples and hopeless romantics as a single lady has its pluses and minuses... First, I had the honor of being thrown an occasional glance or two by a cuddling couple probably wondering why I'm not cuddling with someone of my own. ...St. Lucia There & Back Part 6: Sightseeing by Helicopter
After I took my first aerial tour in Oahu, Hawaii about two years ago I knew I'd want to take more by helicopter on future vacations, so before I departed to St. Lucia I did some research and found that there is one company offering helicopter tours in St. Lucia. ...St. Lucia There & Back Part 5: Going by Horse
By the fifth day of my St. Lucia adventure I was ready to do something different and try new things. I'd been debating between taking a bike tour and seeing a small portion of the island on horseback. It had been centuries since I'd been on a horse so without even tossing a ...St. Lucia There & Back Part 4: Soufriere Day Trip
There are few destinations that have a special place in my heart reserved all for their own. Soufriere, a fishing town about 45 minutes south of Rodney Bay found its way in and I will forever remember it for a number of reasons, although the one that stands out the most ...St. Lucia There & Back Part 3: Rodney Bay Beach
Rodney Bay Beach is like most beautiful tropical beaches and I did what most people do when vacationing near a beach so you can imagine how tough it is for me to divulge every single minute of my wading in crystal clear cool Caribbean waters between working on becoming a ...St. Lucia There & Back Part 2: Island Dining
Before I dive into this one or give the impression that I am this hardcore food critic let me just state that I am not. Someone once claimed that I happiest while I'm eating which I'm not certain is entirely true, but I do love a flavorful fulfilling meal when it's time to ...St. Lucia There & Back Part 1: Glencastle Resort
Each day of my stay on the relaxed tropical Caribbean island of St. Lucia began at the Glencastle Resort tucked away and up on a hill in Gros Islet. It is a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle from the string of resorts and small boutique hotels in Rodney Bay (a ...Photo of the Day (3/10/07)
Well I'm back from Saint Lucia and you can expect a trip report to follow once I get a hold of my surroundings. This photo featuring a mysterious lady in a red hat was taken on a sunny yet rainy day in Soufriere, Saint Lucia while touring the town and scenic attractions ...New Caribbean Resorts
Now that the mild winter weather has vanished hanging around the northeastern end of the United States is no longer any fun for a non-skiing, boarding, or snowshoeing individual like me. As I sit here in a semi-decent hotel room in Burlington a.k.a Brrrrlington, Vermont , ...Last Second Caribbean Choices

If you're like me, you haven't booked your holiday travel yet. In fact, you don't even know where you are going.
One of the places I have been considering, however, is the Caribbean. Unfortunately, the Caribbean covers a huge area and is made up of hundreds of islands, ...Miami Herald On the Caribbean
Trying to decide on the Caribbean island that's best for you? I know, the decision can be a toughie, but shouldn't be too much of a strain. The Miami Herald features an excellent piece highlighting noteworthy hotels, environmental aspects, restaurants and the basic 'why' you ...Virgin Holidays & Cricket World Cup 2007
Hopeful fans of Trinidad & Tobago's Soca Warriors raced over to Germany for the 2006 FIFA World Cup games and returned without a cup, but with more determination than ever for the next installment in 2010. In the meantime they get to lounge lazily on their sister ...Trip Report: St. Lucia
There are
definitely many advantages to living in the Caribbean -- one is your proximity to all the other Caribbean islands around
you. The downside, however, is because of their proximity, it's easy to make the mistake of taking only short
visits -- say, over a ...Where's Walrond?: Going home, and the revelation
Our mini-holiday is rapidly coming to an end. We don't have much planned today, except for breakfast, a quick
dip in the ocean, packing and then checking out of the hotel. Luckily, our flight today takes us directly back to
Trinidad, so no stange layovers in ...
