Thanks for the info. We were in St. Lucia in 1990 and stayed at "couples" which I think is now Rendevous, very close to Castries. And all I truly remember is flying in and the 2 hour ride to the resort and only seeing banana plantations! We were to young to rent a car so we stayed put and did take a Taxi into Castries once. Hope to see more of the island and sounds like we made a good choice.
