Happy Tuesday from the tropics! When I shared this photo last week I mentioned that there were a few things standing in our way between us and vacation – including COVID tests and 12+ hours of travel with a mask – but I am thrilled to say those are now a thing of the past and we have arrived safely in St. Lucia!
Turns out it was more like 16 hours door to door on Saturday to get from our London flat to the resort we are staying on the North side of St. Lucia but it was more than worth it! While the plan was, and still is, to relax blogging is one do the things I do for fun and in the past you have liked my live travel updates. Thus, while it has only been a few days I wanted to provide a status update. We are staying at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian which is an all inclusive resort with so much to do we are not sure we are going to get a chance to fit it all in by the end of our eight day stay! I’ll be sharing more in depth reviews of the island, the resort, and the scuba diving but for now here are shots of the first few days our holiday so far:

I’ve been to a Sandals resort in Turcs and Caicos and it was fantastic.
Two dives a day were included plus snorkeling, sailing, knacks, beautiful pools and yummy drinks.
The sand was gorgeous and we had a wonderful week get a way there and it looks like you are doing the same.

Wow what a pretty place and how lucky that you get to go scuba diving. I’d love to go scuba diving but with Travel being so restricted right now I’m not sure the next time I’ll get to go. Hope you have a lovely vacation looks like a great resort.
Molly says
Mark looks good water-skiing and so nice that you are scuba diving too.
What fun you two must be having and such an awesome change from COVID life I bet.
Happy for you.

Looks like a fun and beautiful get-away for you and Mark with a nice mix of relaxing and sports. Enjoy!
Abigail says
Looks fantastic and I wish I was there with you right now.
So glad you are getting a bit of a holiday. Cheers, those drinks look so yummy.
TAMMY says
Looks like you are having a great time. I wish I was there now instead of working from home today. For me it would be early morning workout, followed by bikini by day, sundress and sandals for dinner.
