Can't decide if I really want to go to St Lucia now or stay as far as fucking possible away from it.
Your failure is not in knowing if you want to go to St. Lucia or not, but in not realizing you already live in a Banana Republic.Can't decide if I really want to go to St Lucia now or stay as far as fucking possible away from it.
You are not wrong but driving is still 1000x more entertaining over there than in the neutered states of murica. I would go again for that experience alone.Your failure is not in knowing if you want to go to St. Lucia or not, but in not realizing you already live in a Banana Republic.
I have only ridden in a shuttle bus on St Lucia and it was terrifying. Actually, my whole time there was terrifying.You are not wrong but driving is still 1000x more entertaining over there than in the neutered states of murica. I would go again for that experience alone.
Really starting to lean toward going now...I have only ridden in a shuttle bus on St Lucia and it was terrifying. Actually, my whole time there was terrifying.
I got suckered into taking a cruise with a stop on St Lucia, got further suckered into horseback riding in St. Lucia which would have been better described as advanced rodeo riding.Really starting to lean toward going now...
Ahhhh PITON beer..... swill of the island was sooo good when I was there. We just stayed at our Sandals resorts and didn't have any problems. We did go to the market on the other side of the island and while the people were a little pushy it didn't seem too bad to me..... that was 13yrs ago though....Lol, good stories. Yeah, we stayed in a "5*" complex in a hill above Soufriere, nice view of the town beach with the cemetery and all. Same deal with security - armed guard and a recommendation to pay the grounds keeper to avoid trouble. None of the locks was working because apparently that was no deterrent. I rented a car from the local mafia during a cab ride from the airport. The guy also warned me about the most violent individuals in the streets. I loved the local eateries and the street markets. Driving was super crazy though, the craziest I ever experienced. Fast, narrow and twisty, all blind corners, trucks full of people hanging from the sides of the beds, deep rain gutters on both sides of the road, driving on the left and the pavement completely missing in random spots because hurricanes. We gave a lot of rides to american kids working for the peace corps.

That brings back some memories. We built ramps like that in the 70s. My next door neighbor had a Yamaha full suspension bike like that one. As kids, that was all we did, live on our bikes. There were no video games or computers. For entertainment, you went outside and stayed there until dark. No fear of any harm, shootings, kidnapping, or the wearing of helmets. How did we survive ?

I think for must of us who grew up in that fashion, it's a good thing our parents didn't know what we were up to most of the time.To be fair my parents had no idea what I was doing out in the woods but they certainly were not worried about it.
It didn't go over well when I told my parents that the reason I religiously mowed the steep hill in the back yard one year was because I had accidentally burned a good half acre. The only time they went back there was to cut the grass.I think for must of us who grew up in that fashion, it's a good thing our parents didn't know what we were up to most of the time.
I remember BB gun wars. And building underground forts that I’d be terrified to go in today. And of course burning and blowing shit up.However I was allowed to run free in the woods to Huck jumps, burn shit, blow shit up, forge swords from scrap metal, fight with said swords, have BB gun fights and fall out of trees.
By doing safe shit like that?For entertainment, you went outside and stayed there until dark. No fear of any harm, shootings, kidnapping, or the wearing of helmets. How did we survive ?
