|Reviews for No Defense For You
| Artemis Noir chapter 2 . 5/21/2014
That was perfection! A great way to end a short story.
I read Aucune months ago and I hate that story. I've avoided reading this story based on that, which I enjoyed up until I realized that it was going too deep into angst-not that I hate the genre, but Fleur was passionless and masochistic and Hermione in that story was rather stupid and cruel.
Anyway, I finally decided to open this up out of curiousity, trusting that you will weave a tale as fantastic as Fragile Things which I have been aching for you to continue-write more of that on please-but I see you have written a lost girl fiction so I'm going to read that next.
Thank you for the good work!
| Zardor chapter 4 . 12/5/2013
Brilliant, I love it!
| Guest chapter 1 . 9/29/2012
obviously subtlety is not your forte :D. shit escalates pretty fast... but watevs. it's your story. and your grammar is not bad. readable
| oximoxy chapter 4 . 9/6/2012
Lovely fic, sweet and amusing, off to read the companion piece now, thank-you!
| bec2277 chapter 2 . 7/15/2012
This pairing is one that I never thought of. After reading your fanfic I'm totally sold on the idea. I think that's the sign of a really good writer. Pulling someone in and making them beleave.
I'm off to read more of your work now.
| Ikurus chapter 3 . 5/24/2012
It's really good, though shorter than I usually look for so I'm glad I read it anyway.
Thank you for writing it this far.
Onto Aucune Defense Pour Toi then.
| Turkey in a suit chapter 2 . 4/4/2011
The end? Happy ending :) Love the story.

This was frustratingly good.
| Tawny Kitsune chapter 1 . 3/14/2010
Wow! I loved this fanfiction. You are truly great at writing romance. This story was very butterfly inducing, and made my heart pound really hard. The flow of the story went very well, and I loved all the details. Thank you for writing this!
| Wolf-of-Five-Elements chapter 2 . 2/10/2010
Heh... I really like this story! Great job!
| elfspirit7 chapter 3 . 1/7/2010
AWESOME, too bad it's discontinued XD! Thanks for the awesome read, can't wait to read your future fanfics XD!
| List of Romantics chapter 1 . 11/28/2009
This is complete genius. I can only hope your legacy continues under another writer, because I find this both fascinating and brilliant. I shall keep my fingers crossed.
Most Satisfactory.
| r o t t e n - p e a c h chapter 3 . 6/29/2009
Two chapters. Within two chapters you have officially made me a Fleur/Hermione fan. The pacing is just right and the flow of the story makes for an interesting read. A pity you aren't writing more but good job on what you HAVE written.

Customer Reviews
Love it
This is such a fun game to play with my family. We can't get enough of it. My son is learning so much with this and i am so thrilled that we finally found an app that allows them to play and learn at the same time. Good work. Highly recommended.
All the avatars are white kids.
There are no avatar options that represent my child's skin color or hair. That's called a "micro-aggression." It is one of many small experiences children of color face daily that add to their sense of being outsiders in their own culture. In this case, an outsider in MATH. Please rectify this situation and be part of the solution not the problem.
Smart way to get kids thinking about numbers.

|PTSD started kind of weird, but the climbing is quite enjoyable and the difficulty is a little more sustained. I was surprised to feel a little exposure on the "second pitch". Well bolted, varied climbing. No need to stop at the anchors, bring a few extendable draws to reduce rope drag when you turn the corner, then blast to the top.

Climbed this route following obvious weaknesses, right of bolts at first, then transitioned to the left at the midway bushes in a crack feature before a bulge. Ended up at an arete rap station, then headed back left to the direct face. (Fins of rock on right down on lower portion didn't seem loose, maybe been cleaned over time?)
Went up direct face to top after the bulge (as opposed to turning out right to do arete/face), done as single pitch on 70 meter rope. No rope drag to speak of going straight up. Rapped back down with scant rope to spare.
Beautiful piece of rock! Upper portion was thought provoking.

"If the work didn't create any plausibility, (Alcor) wouldn't have had to respond to it," Edwards said. "The fact they immediately did, that was a compliment."
The death mask, portraying Williams in a state best described as weary agony, is the highlight of Edwards' exhibit. "The Ben Affleck 2004 World Series Collection" opens Sept. 6 at New York's First Street Gallery.
After Williams' death in July 2002, his body was transported from Florida to Alcor, where his head was removed for cryogenic storage.
It was a controversial end to the Hall of Famer's life, with his children squabbling over his remains.
Edwards, who described himself as a huge baseball fan, said he remains haunted by the thought of Alcor removing Williams' head. That image prompted him to portray Williams in such a "ghastly" light.
"It was definitely going to look as unalive as it could," Edwards said.
Alcor released a statement Friday reiterating the company had nothing to do with Edwards' art.
"It is a travesty that some people feel the need to exploit Ted Williams and his family for monetary gain," Alcor CEO and president Joe Waynick said.

Taking Subutex And Percocet Together
(Newest posts first)

My doctor just put me on subutex along with percocet. I've been on percocet for yrs for severe and chronic migraines. He told me to take the subutex and if it doesn't work to take a perc. I take 15mg percs at a time. I've read some stuff online that worries me. Some people say if you take percs with subutex you'll go into withdrawals. I went through severe withdrawals with fioricet months ago and I don't want to go through that hell again. I took my first subutex about an hour ago and I still have a migraine so I want to take a perc now. Can I do that or will I get sick?

Depends. I just went from Monday around 5pm to today (Friday) until 10:30 am until I was able to get my perc 30's back into my system. I stopped taking the subxone yesterday around 1pm and was fine on that. I also however, took lil pieces off of the sub as needed (prn) which in all totaled approx. 20 mg. throughout that time. The half life on that stuff is amazing. If you only have a few days to go you may be able to get through it with just a lil tummy sickness (Diar----). I am not a doc or anything this is just based on my personal experience so just be careful in take lil pieces cuz it does stretch. I use it to take the edge off of the withdrawls and am happy not to be suffering really bad.

I have been taking suboxone for a few months but ran out,I took 4mgs over the last three days then took 2mgs today,my question is can I take a couple perc's to help with the WD till I get my suboxone filled??
212Mama J Says:
I think it all comes down to each individuals own chemical makeup. Some can take Subutex some do better with Suboxone. Some have to wait out the whole shelf life. Some don't. Some are more immune to opiates some are not. I mean let's get real. everyone is different.....Heck, sometimes I feel my perc 30's after being off of Subutex within hours, sometimes it takes me more percs to feel anything. Sometimes I only wait 12 hours, or less & take Suboxone after my percs. Either way......personally I have never experienced any withdrawls fron Suboxone or Subutex. Now I am prescribed just Roxi 30's @ 6 daily. It's what works for me. I have been on pain meds for 10 yrs now. I hate it cuz I have tried, w/doc, several combos of meds & am sick of these drugs controlling my life! However, I refuse to suffer so I continue. Please people.....it's natural to ask advice from others however, we really are all different and the best advice I could give would be to seek counsel with your physician. If your just taking to experience the high & don't have a doc then please just be careful folks. Peace Out.......

I've had two decades of nightmarish pain. Most pain management doctors failed miserably rotten attitudes and lousy approaches to medicine. Pain management doctors must be the bottom of the barrel, I would love to print names and cities. Anyway a couple of more progressive doctors Ive encountered saw value in mixing Percocet and Subutex for sever pain. They even saw a value in surgery for a really bad spine. Now because of forward leaning doctors and a surgeon willing to do a radical spine surgery I don't need to cocktail stuff once thought unmixeable. I never had withdrawals, I never got crazy high (sorry recreational users) it just cut mind bending pain.
207EJ Says:
You people are confusing these others looking for help. It is now a common practice for a pain manager to prescribe subutex with opiates for severe pain. I have been on morphine and subutex for two years now and it is a wonderful combo. Things are changing and the pain management world understands the benefits of using subutex with opiates. The FDA just approved an extended BUP patch that pain managers prescribe with opiates for break through pain relief. Don't listen to these others who can't differentiate between subutex and suboxone. Talk to your physician about this new concept of using both in combination for pain management. Suboxone is used to help get off opiates and other major addictions and subutex is used for pain and has been for many decades now. Good luck!

Wrong. Subutex has no opiat blocker. You should still feel a perk.
205Shibby Says:

Sub's block. Partial agonist/antagonist. Meaning it triggers and blocks the receptors at the same damn time. Buprenorphine (subutex) covers ur receptors. Blocks everything else. If ya got buprenorphine in ur system u ain't gonna feel ANY other opiate

Why don't u keep ur opinions to yourself? The past doesn't ask about recovery so keep it to yourself.

Why would you take an opiate with Subutex unless you are either prescribed it or for recreational use? Most people who are given Subutex are given that to help come off of or stay off of traditional opiates. When you ask if you will "feel it", do you mean to ask if you will feel "high"? If you are trying to feel high maybe you need to enter a rehab facility. I was hooked on my pain pills and went through OP rehab. I started on Suboxone but was transitioned to Subutex after I was released from the rehab facility to my new pain clinic. I do have legitimate pain that needs to be addressed, but I can't take opiates without abusing them. Actually, the Subutex helps my pain far better than taking four 15mg Oxycodone ever thought to!! I take three 8mg buprenorphine sublingual tabs daily. It's been a life saver for me!! I have 132 days sober from any mind altering substances and love it!!! I hope you aren't trying to abuse opiates, but if you are please get help! I wasted 6 good years of my life in pain pill addiction! Life is great now!!!

Thank you ! Even though i haven't taken much of subutex ?? I still won't feel anything ?
200Melonie Says:

As far as feeling anything from the opi...doubtful. subutex raises your tolerance so most likely you won't feel much if you're chasing a high. It'll still help with pain
199Melonie Says:

Subutex will not send you into withdrawal taking with an opiate. Taking suboxone on the other hand can and most likely will. Subutex does not have Naloxen in it...you will be fine. 100%

I am asking myself the same thing but for different reasons. I have been taking a quarter to a half of subutex for 2 days and although I can understand people's views and answers, I really just want to know a simple , straight answers for this,
Even though I have take subutex up to a half of a 8 mil for almost two full days now , can I take hydrocodeine , opoids, without going into withdrawals AND feeL the opoids ?

I am also on subutex and take break thru meds your are not going into withdrawal only naloxone in suboxone causes withdrawals like that but this same thing did happen to me what the problem is is subutex is extremely strong it over powers fentanyl I kno this from experience and ur getting to much subutex at once that's what's causing the migraines I suffered with it fir months that's why when it getting the migraine abd take a Percocet it makes u sicker cause it body already has to much meds it dies take awhile for ur Body to get used to such a strong med so best advice cut it subutex dose back try taking half ur dose and if pain starts to break through take a perc...when they first put me in them I was on 3 8my tablets a day but could only take half of one to not get a migraine now I'm up to 4 a day within a year and a half these doctors realky have no clue what there working with its highly addictive and u build a tolerance faster then any other pain med iv ever seen and struggled with chronic pain for 10+ years now but I will say when it's ur only option subutex works wonders for chronic pain. Some days I actually feel normal again. ..best of luck to you hope this helps
195Mochatt Says:

I would not mix the two and it makes me real confused why you'd even be prescribed them together. Subutex/suboxone etc. is to get off of painkillers/opiates without having withdrawal. It blocks your receptors so even if you take opiates on them you won't feel high or feel the effects. I also feel like it's gotta be bad to mix in the same sense how uppers and downers are bad to mix. Taking a drug that gets you off pain killers, with pain killers, makes zero sense to me. Just my two cents. Good luck!

Re: VOY: The Eternal Tide by Kirsten Beyer Review Thread (Spoilers!)
It has to do with the fact that there is a metaphysical part of the universe. There is something bigger and deeper than just the material. And yes I believe it is perspective and because your perspective is limiting your vision to the idea that something can have a metaphysical or spiritual component is the issue. I do not think that there is any reason that science and the metaphysical do not work in concert together.
I, too, think that metaphysics can be part of science fiction. After all, 'metaphysical' and 'spiritual' just denote concepts that haven't been described scientifically yet. Everything is explainable, it just requires enough knowledge, time and technology to be understood.

St. Lucia is a 238-square-mile island in the Windward Island chain, a sub-group of the West Indies. Martinique, a French department, is its nearest neighbor. Due to the island's central location in the Caribbean and its fine natural harbors, the French and English fought endlessly for possession of it. With its gorgeous and diverse terrain including mountains, waterfalls, beaches and bays, there is no end to the number of diversions here. Read on to plan your perfect getaway! A few quick facts about the island.
168,458 (2006 estimate)
606 square kilometers
Highest Point
Mount Gimie, 950 meters (3117 feet)
St. Lucia's currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar. Exchanges can be made at banks, hotels, and at Pointe Seraphine, a duty-free shopping complex in Castries. The exchange rate for the US dollar is fixed at $2.70 EC to $1.00 US; however the banks (which give you the best rate) change at $2.68 EC to $1.00 US. Note that banking hours are Monday to Thursday 8 AM to 2 PM, and Friday 8 AM to 5 PM. All of the island's ATMs distribute Eastern Caribbean dollars, and credit cards are widely accepted around the island.
Entry Requirements
Entry requirements vary for each destination; it is your responsibility to verify you have the correct documents prior to travel. As of December 31, 2006 a valid passport is required for travel to all the Caribbean and Mexico.
Time Zone
St. Lucia lies within Atlantic Standard Time, four hours behind Greenwich Mean Time. The island is one hour ahead of North American Eastern Standard Time year round.
Cars drive on the left-hand side of the road on St. Lucia (like England).
Outlets on St. Lucia use 220 volts, 50 cycles AC. Unless you're coming from Europe, you will need an adapter for your travel appliances.
English is the official language. A French-based Creole is also spoken, a result of St. Lucia's British and French heritage.
More About St. Lucia
The most obvious reason to visit any Caribbean destination is the weather, which can best be described as "endless summer." St. Lucia enjoys a tropical climate, with steady northeast trade winds that make for pleasant conditions year-round. December through May is the driest and coolest time, with daytime temperatures in the 70s-80s (Fahrenheit). June through August are the hottest months, when daytime temperatures may rise into the 90s. While the rainy season runs from June through November, you shouldn't expect constant rain. Instead, we see numerous short, intense showers. Hurricanes are the most serious weather risk during these months, and although the odds are quite low that a hurricane will strike while you're on island, we do recommend travel insurance to protect your vacation.
The following list provides a brief description of several of the most beautiful beaches. Make sure to visit as many as you can on your next vacation in St. Lucia.
Reduit Beach
For the most part, St. Lucian beaches are relatively short, but with five miles of white sand on Rodney Bay, Reduit is the place for a long stroll by the shore and a swim in calm waters. One of the most popular beaches on the island, it is fronted by the Rex St. Lucian, Papillon and the Royal St. Lucian hotels. There are restaurants and vendors renting water-sports equipment and lounge chairs.
Jalousie Beach
The white sand, clarity of the water, and stunning setting between the twin Gros and Petit Piton volcanic peaks make this beach south of Soufrière a favorite spot for sunning. Snorkelers and scuba divers come for the adventures to be had at the 1,800-foot dropoff at the base of the Pitons.
Anse Chastanet
With a sharp dropoff, coral reef and sea walls, this beach affords snorkelers and divers many opportunities for viewing the vivid ocean life without ferrying out to deeper waters by boat. The natural sand reflects the volcanic origins of the island.
Pigeon Island National Park
Quiet and uncrowded, this beach on the north end of the island is the place to combine sunning and swimming with a visit to a mini-museum and a climb to a vantage point to see the historic Fort Rodney ruins and views of the distant Martinique. Two eateries stand ready to fill visitor's needs.
Grande Anse
Soon to become part of a new national park, this mile long stretch of beach north of Dennery is set against a backdrop of cliffs in an area that was once a plantation. Now, visitors come for Turtle Watch, where they can see the natural wonder of endangered leatherbacks, the largest of sea turtles, heaving themselves out of the water and onto the beach to lay their eggs.
The moment you arrive on St. Lucia, you'll realize that its natural beauty seems to have been made for romantics. All that the island has to offer – including palm-fringed beaches, elegant old plantation houses, clear tropical air, rhythmic steel band music, and tantalizing cuisine – combine to make weddings, honeymoons, and anniversaries popular on St. Lucia.
It's relatively easy to get married on St. Lucia. For a normal wedding license, you need to be on the island 4 days before the wedding; however there is a special license which does not have a residency requirement. If you arrive with all of your documents ready and file them with a lawyer in the morning, you could be married by the afternoon of the same day. The documents required to obtain a marriage license on St. Lucia are:
– Passport
– Birth Certificate
– Decree Absolute (if one or both parties are divorced)
– Death Certificate, if one is a widow/widower
– Deed Poll, if a name has been changed
If under 18, evidence of the consent of parents is required (sworn affidavit stamped by notary public). If any required documents are not in English, an authenticated translation must be available.
The fee for a normal marriage license (applied for at least 7 days before ceremony) is EC$335. For a special marriage license (less than 7 days before ceremony) the fee is EC$540. There is an EC$100 registrar fee and an EC$8 fee for the marriage certificate.
CaribbeanDays can help you find a wedding planner if you're interested in getting married on the island.
A wide variety of dining options are available to guests of St. Lucia villas, including French, Caribbean, and Indian cuisine. Dining here is likely to be al fresco, and many restaurants have waterfront views. If a service charge is not included, tipping is usually 10% of your bill. Here are a few of our favorite restaurants:
Buzz Seafood & Grill
Rodney Bay (opposite the Royal St. Lucian Hotel)
(758) 458-0450
"Known for their seafood, but Rack of Lamb and Chicken Wellington are also amazing! Dessert is a must here, with something for everyone. Reservations essential. Closed Mondays April through November."
The Charthouse
Rodney Bay
(758) 452-8115
"The place to go for steak They also serve great local seafood and lobster. Try the key lime pie for dessert."
The Coal Pot

(758) 452-5566
"Excellent meats and fresh seafood accompanied by your choice of the chef's sauces. Wonderful ambiance and good service, too. Reservations essential."
The Great House
Cap Estate
(758) 450-0450
"A beautiful setting for a night out. Waiters are dressed in black and white, and waitresses in traditional St. Lucian dresses, and they all provide excellent service. The menu changes nightly but consists of French cuisine with a Creole twist. Closed Monday."
Jacques Waterfront Dining (Froggie Jacques)
Vigie Marina, Castries
(758) 458-1900
"Caribbean with a decidedly French flavor. Excellent food, drinks, and service. Reservations essential. Closed Sunday."
Rainforest Hideaway
Marigot Bay
(758) 452-4485 or (758) 286-0511

"Wonderful grilled fish and chicken dishes with local vegetables such as christophenes, yams, breadfruits and callaloo, all organically grown on the estate. The restaurant is right on the beach, with a great view of the private yachts, mighty Pitons, and endless sea. If lobster is in season, it's a great choice. Try to go when it's not packed with cruise ship visitors or tour buses."
The Body Holiday at LeSPORT, Cap Estate
(758) 450-8551
"Wonderful Asian fusion cuisine. Mouthwatering main dishes, fine wines, and extravagant desserts. Reservations are essential as preference is given to hotel guests."
Ti Bananne
Coco Palm Resort, Rodney Bay
(758) 452-0712
"Great French Caribbean cuisine. Open-air dining with comfortable seating and exceptional food. Pastry chef creates sumptuous desserts."
On Friday nights, you can enjoy street parties in either Gros Islet or Anse la Raye. Gros Islet Friday Night consists of barbecue grills cooking up chicken and conch kebabs and speakers set up on the street corners playing a variety of Caribbean rhythms. In Anse la Raye (just south of Castries), it's a Seafood Feast starting at 6 PM. Vendors prepare lobster in season and a variety of seafood barbecued, fried, or cooked en papillote. The authentic fish braff made with daurade or mahi mahi is worth a try. There is music and, once-a-month, a local band provides live entertainment.
On Saturday nights, you can get a feel for more authentic St. Lucian culture by attending the Dennery Fish Fiesta in the Atlantic village of Dennery, a 45 minute drive from Castries. Beginning at 6 PM, you can enjoy seafood specialties like grilled, steamed, or fried fish, lamb or conch at very affordable prices.
While there are plenty of taxis available on the island, rates can be steep. If you're going to want to go out to dinner and to beaches or other towns, we recommend renting a vehicle for at least part of your stay.
American drivers will have to get used to driving on the "wrong," or left, side of the road. By paying careful attention, you'll get the hang of it. Roads can be windy, so be very cautious, and try not to pass if it's at all possible.
To get the most out of your St. Lucia vacation, we recommend renting a car before you arrive. Our villa specialists are happy to help you arrange your car rental.
After 25 years of friendly and reliable service, CaribbeanDays recommends Drive-o-Matic Car Rental as the premier on-island source for all of your transportation needs.
Please contact us for more information.
St. Lucia has two airports: Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) near Vieux Fort Quarter and George F. L. Charles Airport (SLU) near Castries, formerly known as Vigie Airport.
In general, international flights land at Hewanorra, while flights from within the Caribbean arrive at the smaller airport Vigie.
As far as their locations are concerned, Hewanorra is in a more isolated part of the island, while Vigie is closer to the main tourist areas. Most visitors will find it more convenient to fly into Vigie.
Visitors from New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Charlotte, Toronto, and Montreal may be able to fly direct (depending on the day of the week); otherwise you'll likely have a connection in Miami, Barbados or Puerto Rico.
Entry requirements
To gain entry to the island, U.S. citizens require a valid passport. For citizens of any other country, please check with your local consulate or embassy for specific entry requirements.
Departure tax
Departure Tax of EC $68 (US $26) for all passengers over 12 years is applied to ticket prices at the time of purchase (source: St Lucia Tourist Board).

In addition to its fabulous beaches and varied water sports, St. Lucia's gorgeous, unspoiled terrain provides a number of land activities to keep you busy, should you so desire.
VisitPigeonIslandNationalHistoricPark to get a taste of St. Lucia's history. The military ruins of Ft.Rodney, where Admiral George Rodney built and managed a naval base lookout in 1778, are here.
There are endless opportunities for hiking on St. Lucia. Try the diverse path of the Eastern Nature Trail or Maria Major Nature Reserve in the southern part of the island. Although the St. Lucia Forest Reserve is a bit more commercialized, it's worth the trip to see the rainforest and the brilliantly colored jacquot and other rare birds.

You can appreciate the warm, inviting waters surrounding St. Lucia in any number of ways, from snorkeling and scuba diving to kayaking, sailing, and windsurfing. Spend a day or two soaking up the sun at St. Lucia's lovely beaches – be sure to wear sunscreen!
Explore the beautiful underwater world by snorkeling or scuba diving. Because St. Lucia is volcanic in nature, there are awesome coral reefs, trenches, caverns, and walls with a variety of Caribbean reef fish. Many of these underwater sites are literally a stone's throw away from beaches along the west coast, making them popular with snorkelers as well as divers. The most popular sites are within the Anse Chastanet Marine Reserve, where you can see giant sponges, huge sea fans, coral, octopus, squid, and starfish. Scuba diving is offered by several reputable dive operators, and certification courses are available. There are a number of sites for seasoned divers to explore, including the two marine reserves at Soufriére and Canaries, and night dives may be available. Contact Buddies Scuba (758-450-8406, www.buddiesscuba.com), Scuba St. Lucia (758-459-7755,www.scubastlucia.com), or Dive Fair Helen (758-451-7716,www.divefairhelen.com) for more information on diving or snorkeling in St. Lucia.

Even if you're a beachcomber or water-lover, you'll want to take a tour of the island while you're here. The scenery St. Lucia has to offer is unusually beautiful, including the Qualibou Volcano and its boiling sulfur springs, exotic plants and flower-lined roadsides, and the Pitons, ancient volcanic forest-covered cones that rise out of the sea on the west coast.
How you choose to tour the island is up to you, but keep in mind that the roads are not very well marked, and you may have trouble finding some of these sites on your own. There are plenty of taxis on island, with knowledgeable drivers who are happy to provide an island tour. You should negotiate your fare before you embark. Expect to pay about $120 for a tour of the whole island. One driver who comes highly recommended is Fabian (758-384-7847, www.FabianToursStLucia.com).

The National Rain Forest is an especially appealing site for bird watchers, hikers, and nature lovers. For an organized tour, contact the Forest and Lands Department at ((758) 450-2231).
If you choose to take the Southern Safari (758-452-5005), a tour bus will take you through the island's interior with stops at historic sites such as an old plantation house and the remains of a waterwheel.

A visit to the 100-year-old Castries Market, along the harbor under the bright-orange roofs, is a must for any visitor to St. Lucia. While the markets are open from 6 AM to 5 PM Monday through Saturday, Saturday mornings are the busiest and most colorful time to visit. Unfortunately, you can't import the local produce to the US, but you can bring back spices and bottled hot pepper sauces as well as local handicrafts such as wood carvings, clay pottery, and batik and silk-screened fabrics. Be warned that pick-pocketing has occurred here, so don't flash your money or jewelry.
Duty-free shopping for imports like perfumes, crystal, and china is available at a few outlets such as Pointe Seraphine and La Place Carenage, in Castries, J.Q.'s Shopping Malls in Rodney Bay and Vieux Fort, and of course at Hewanorra airport. You must present your passport and airline ticket to make purchases at duty-free prices.
Gablewoods Mall, 2 miles north of Castries on Gros Islet Highway, has one of the island's densest concentrations of shops as well as three restaurants. You may want to pick up a bottle of Bounty Rum, the local liquor made at a distillery in Roseau, at either the grocery store or liquor store here.
You can combine sightseeing and shopping by visiting the 100-year-old Caribelle hilltop house, where local artisans make batik and screen-prints. The Choiseul Arts and Crafts Center, on the southern coast of the island, is a wonderful source of hand-woven baskets, placemats, chairs and woodcarvings.
Store hours vary, but the majority are open from 8:30-12:30 and 1:30-4:30 Monday to Friday, and from 8:30-12:30 on Saturday. The major shopping centers may be open Saturday afternoon as well. Most shops are closed Sunday, with the exception of the marina-based shops.
St. Lucia has communications systems that are up to date with modern standards, so staying in touch with the rest of the world (should you so desire) is relatively easy. Most villas have cable TVs, allowing access to local, national, and international networks.
The phone system on St. Lucia is the same as that used in the states, with an area code (758) plus 7 digits. Most villas have telephones that are capable of making calls overseas. If you feel the need to catch up via the internet, there is an internet café in Soufriére. Call Elite Logics at (758) 457-1171 for information.
Guests of St. Lucia vacation villas will find that the island is relatively safe and secure. Keeping these few health and security concerns in mind will help to ensure that your vacation is enjoyable and hassle-free.
As is true for any vacation destination, we recommend keeping your villa and your rental car locked. Don't keep any valuables in your rental car, even if it is locked. St. Lucia does have its fair share of robberies. Valuables left unattended on beaches are also vulnerable to theft.
Tourists are a target of opportunity, so you are advised to stay on the main streets, which are patrolled. Use caution, especially at night and while walking on the beach alone.
Driving on St. Lucia can be challenging, since the roads wind around a bit and the natives are not the most cautious of drivers. Stay alert, follow the speed limit, and drive carefully to avoid a trip to the hospital. Seatbelts are recommended for all passengers as well as the driver.
Do not underestimate the power of the Caribbean sun – many a traveler has had his or her vacation spoiled by painful sunburns or sunstroke. Protect yourself with sunscreen and avoid the strong midday rays.
There are a number of hospitals on St. Lucia, none of which provides the level of care we're used to in the States. Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate payment for their services. There is no hyperbaric chamber here; divers requiring treatment for decompression illness must be evacuated from the island. For major medical problems, contact St. Jude Hospital in Vieux Fort (758-454-6041), Victoria Hospital in Castries (758-452-2421), Golden Hope Hospital in Castries ((758) 452-7393), or Dennery Hospital (758-453-3310). For minor medical issues, it's best to avoid the St. Lucia medical centers and the insurance hassles that may evolve. Instead, visit a local pharmacy. There are several pharmacies in Castries, one on the Gros Islet Highway and one in Gablewoods Shopping Mall. Most hotels have "over the counter" medication, such as Aspirin, and first aid facilities.
For the police, ambulance, or in case of fire, call 911.
St. Lucia's first inhabitants were the Arawak Indians, around 200 A.D. Caribs gradually replaced the Arawaks by about 800 A.D. The Caribs called the island "Hewanorra," which means "Island of the Iguanas" and is now the name used for one of the island's airports.
To this day, it is unclear which European was first to discover St. Lucia. It may have been Columbus in 1502, or it may have been one of his contemporaries, Juan de la Cosa, in 1499 or 1504. The French pirate Francois le Clerc (a.k.a. Jamb de Bois, or Peg Leg) used the island as an outpost for attacking Spanish galleons in the 1550s, but it wasn't until around 1600 that Europeans attempted to settle the island.
Around 1600, the Dutch set up camp at Vieux Fort. In 1605, a British vessel on its way to Guyana was blown off course and landed on St. Lucia. Its 67 colonists bought land and huts from the Caribs. Five weeks later, their party, now reduced to 19 due to disease and fighting with the Caribs, was forced to flee the island.
The English made a second futile attempt at colonizing the island in 1639, although the French had officially claimed the island in 1635. The first successful colonization of the island took place in 1651, when a French group commanded by De Rousselan came from Martinique. The British and French would continue to fight over the island, and to use it as a bargaining chip, for the next 150 years.
In 1746, the first town, Soufriére, was established by the French. It was followed by a number of other French towns and settlements. Once the sugar industry began to develop in 1765, St. Lucia became attractive to an even greater number of colonists, both French and English. The British launched their first invasion effort in 1778, in the "Battle of Cul de Sac," and after a long series of devastating battles, Britain finally triumphed in 1815.
Meanwhile, slavery was officially abolished in 1794, but the British soon restored slavery for the wealthy plantation owners. It wasn't until 1838 that slavery finally came to an end on St. Lucia.
Since that time, St. Lucia has gradually become more independent and self-governing. The country remained under the British crown at some level until February 22, 1979, when it became independent within the British Commonwealth.
