My family, Jason, and I went to St. Lucia over Christmas in 2002.  It was beautiful and sunny every single day, even when it rained for 10 minutes one afternoon.  I had an appendectomy 2 weeks prior to this vacation and was lucky enough to be able to recover on a tropical island.  Had I gotten sick any later than I did my family would have had to cancel the trip.  Recovery in St. Lucia was so much better than recovery in cold and snowy Wisconsin. http://pagebuildr.com/Hammer/St-Lucia-2002 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 19:49:20 PDT Mon, 12 Mar 2007 19:49:20 PDT http://pagebuildr.com
