The next time you're looking for a weekend getaway, why not head to the islands rather than piling into the car for a drive up to the lake? If you live in the eastern U.S. or Canada, the Caribbean can be a viable (and affordable) weekend destination! It’s Mexico’s largest Caribbean island, as well as the most inhabited island in the country. St. Lucia is the sort of island that travelers to the Caribbean dream about--a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. One of the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles, it is located midway down the Eastern Caribbean chain, between Martinique and St. Vincent, and north of Barbados. This relatively small area amazes with diversity in climate and landscape, in language, religion and customs, in the history showcased, and the proud achievements in areas like music, sports and art, medicine and education. For your trip to Caribbean this vacation we are present with all kinds of vacation packages for you at Vacation-Getaways.org.
