I booked another trip to St Lucia on August the 4th, 2 days after my dreaded birthday.
Only staying 13 days this time as the flights out there are extraordinary in price, and even then I had to pay £3500 for 2 adults and 2 children.
Next year my son will no longer be classed as a child even though he'll still only be 12, so prices would be even higher. Either way it may be the last holiday in the Caribbean until the kids move out or are old enough to pay for their own flights.
I fancy Kerala next year.
