Instead, the island is dotted with numerous hotels of 60 or 70 units apiece, each on its own beach, each backed by soaring mountains, most patronized primarily by British and Canadian visitors.Because various U.S. airlines are beginning to provide service to St. Lucia mainly from New York, Atlanta and Miami, the British predominance is about to end.

The Boston Globe : "Last year on a winter getaway, I too fell in love with Laborie. Unlike the resorts in St. Lucia’s north, the village on the south coast has an old West Indies soul. Although the predominately fishing and farming community sees few tourists, the traditions Gladding celebrates in his mural can now be seen on a community-led heritage tour called “The Laborie Experience” created with the help of another Peace Corps volunteer, Diane Gunvalson. On my visit, I saw children at the pan school rehearse, watched men weaving strips of bamboo into fish pots, met Mr. Bram who harvests sea moss, and Mr. Ives, a self-taught musician who’s a local cultural icon. (In the mural, Ives and his friends are playing the violin, electric base, shak-shak, banjo, tanbou, and maracas.)

Chicago Sun-Times : "Ever since Mother Nature morphed into Mommie Dearest last week, a Caribbean vacation sounds even better than usual. Flashbacks to my January trip to St. Kitts and Nevis taunted me as I lumbered to work in the Chicago blizzard. Frozen tear ducts prevented me from weeping at the thought of that balmy night on the beach, when I wiggled my toes in the sand while feasting on fresh lobster and a cold bottle of Carib beer at the Shiggidy Shack.
