We went to St Lucia. It was everything and then some. Let’s dive in. Let’s start from the beginning, shall we?! The travel day to get there isn’t terrible. 2 flights and a 2 hour drive. (We recommend arranging VIP meet and greet ahead of time!) However, we rolled onto the property around dinner time, and left Nashville around 5am.
