We're here

Finally sitting on the beach in St Lucia. So, let's get all of the complaining (minor as it it's) out of the way so I can enjoy the rest of vacation. Our flight to Dallas was uneventful which is always a good thing. unfortunately, we had to pick up our luggage, go outside and take a long ride back to another terminal to go back inside to our hotel because of security.if we had checked out luggage all the way, we could have gone directly there. The hotel in the Dallas airport was beautiful as always, but we woke up to no hot water. Bit on the grumbly side there, but a quick wash, a ponytail and away we go.
Our flight leaving Dallas was an hour late, no big deal, but we had to scramble to catch our Miami to St. Lucia flight. We made it without too much stress but forgot to active the global phone before leaving the country.
The flight to st. Lucia was really pretty and I photographed a few islands from the air. We wisked through customs, luggage was there and had a pleasant one and a half hour cab ride (Lexus SUV) through the rain forest. The contrast of amazing scenery and raw poverty was indescribable. (but I am sure I will find plenty of words later).
we arrived at the hotel after dark and had a quick bite to eat. I actually drank a beer (Peton of course). I think we're in trouble because I really liked it.
We slept like rocks and woke late, for us. It took me quite sometime to get the global phone connected while Milo got his computer up and sorta running. We can send, but are not receiving emails.
The leaking toilet should be fixed by the end of the day, so here we are. On the windy beach with my I pad, sunscreen and a view to knock your flip flops off!
Please excuse typos since I am posting from the iPad. I may be able to load a few photos from Milos computer later on. The vacation is officially ON.
