    Hurricane Tomas in St. Lucia

    Thank you so much Krys, 

     

    You are right, the medias seems to make it look worse.  The owner of the resort already wrote to me personally saying that the resort is fine. "We have not had damages". It seems that the roads are the most affected but since I am going in July, it will be resolved by then.  The resort is fully operational and the airport is scheduled to reopen Friday. You are right Krys, the island will need tourism and I'm sure that the St. Lucia will still be gorgeous to visit.

    "The  headlines for over a week on all of the newswires and TV reports was that 90% of the Turks and Caicos islands were destroyed.  On one of our islands with a poplulation of 400 people, over 90% of the homes were destroyed (there are no resorts there) but on our main island we were all fine.   It was a nightmare for hotels because people cancelled based on news reports which were sensationalized to the extreme. "

    This is so sad.  I hope the tourism is back now.

     

     

    Thank you again for your kind words,

    Hello ladies, 

     

    Seem like St. Lucia was very affected by Tomas this weekend.  The town of Soufriere (where the UNESCO Pitons are) is the most damaged.  At least 12 persons died (including tourists).  UVF airport is still closed and many roads and bridges too.  It's really sad.  News said that Tomas was the worst storm in the Island "living memory".  Hurricanes are rare in St. Lucia usually.  We hope that everyone is safe now (communication lines still not working.)  They evaluate the damages to 100 millions of dollars.  Plantations, livestock, houses, everything has been affected.  I do not know yet how my resort is affected by the storm.  I wanted to book our group tomorrow but now I'm not sure.

    Hello futurejohnson,

     

    I understand how you feel!  It's surprising because you are a year in advance!  Depending of the quote (price per person) you get, I would probably pay the extra to use West Jet for remaining guests.  Of course, it's fun to have everyone in the same plane but in my opinion, I would'nt care so much about it.  It's way harder to find a good price, the good days, ect.   Also, maybe some of your guests will prefer to have a choice of airlines. (it can be a bonus if some guests are living in different cities).  80-200$ is not so bad if you consider that West Jet is  much more expensive usually.

     

    Well, I'm sure you will find a right solution.  I just wanted to give my honest opinion so you may not have to change everything you already plan.  Good luck and keep us updated!
