I landed in St Lucia feeling fresh and raring to go which was just as well as the transfer up to Cotton Bay Villas (in the Cap Estate) took over 90 minutes on some of the most spectacular (but torturous roads) I’ve ever seen. It was well worth the transfer though when we reached the property, it’s absolutely stunning.

On the 4th November 2009, I took a short domestic flight from Manchester airport to London Gatwick, I was very nervous but looking forward to what the next 5 days had in store! After checking in I met with the other travel agents. The flight with Virgin Atlantic lasted approximately 8 hours and 45 minutes but it flew by as I enjoyed watching the latest films on demand. Before I knew it we had arrived in beautiful Barbados! This was my first time to the island.
