Booked our flights to guess where? Yep, it's St Loosha from the 7th of Aug until the 21st.

I was really naughty: I bought Upper Class seats for our trip home.

I'm bad.

I did this again and we are going from the 10th of August until the 24th.

We all really needed a break as it was beginning to seem a pointless working all the time without reward for one's endeavours. It is also my son's 16th while were are away and he also needs some reward for (what he thinks) will be good GCSE results.

Good news for him is we are still in St Lucia on the 23rd of August when his results are given out. If he flunked, he's already had the holiday.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

I nearly moved there in 1994. Glad I didn't for obvious reasons, but I havn't given up on the idea completely.

The hurricanes are pretty fierce and can cause a great deal of damage.  My inlaws on St. Martin are still dealing with the damage from last year's hurricanes, still no internet, many roofs so damaged as to make many of the buildings on their property unusable.

I'll take a couple classes and try to get rid of too much stuff in my house. 
tarascon says hello.  He's having a sucky summer as his mother is dying and in hospice care.  The experience is exhausting.

Damn, that's not a nice place to be.

Pass on my regards and wish him luck when you next speak to him.

I passed along your greetings.  I got an email today indicating that t's mother died yesterday, so he is now adjusting to that, but he sends his regards.  He may get internet at home and post more regularly in the near future.

I feel for him.

Please pass on my condolences too and the offer of any help I could be.

I did pass along your kind wishes.  I expect he'll be back on here in the not too distant future, but losing a parent is tough.

Another reason to love the U.K.  Apparently sales of Green Day's American Idiot have been spiking there in anticipation of Trump's visit.  How else to deal with the endless despair of this administration.
