Three and a half days and 2600 miles and I am now in a third world country. We spent the night in St. Lucia last night. A very beautiful island country, but it's also very poor. The tourism industry is the main income. We have been privileged to see some gorgeous scenery, but not as much as I would have liked. The a/c crapped out on us the second day so to keep from melting, we flew at 7000' the rest of the trip. I get to spend a couple days here while they decide if we have to bring a different aircraft back. We really aren't looking forward to that. This trip has been a real ass kicker physically and mentally. Oh well, time to kick back and have a couple rum drinks to ease the nerves.
