We experienced after shocks four times in Dec. two on the beach (most intense) and two in buildings. They were still having aftershocks when our friends went in January, but to a lesser extent.

Wayne-you question is one of the main reasons I am having trouble writing a trip report. What exactly to say about the islands - Marie Galante, Terre de Haut, and Terre de Bas is really hard to say. Trips to these islands include a lot more adventure than SBH...but that is the fun for me and I can't even imagine going back to SBH after seeing Marie Galante, a.k.a. my heaven on Earth. I want to see La Desirade next, Martinique, more of Guadeloupe, etc.

I am usually very direct and honest...which might seem a little rough when I describe some things about LSS...hence the delay. Do not make plans to go to LSS thinking it is a 'little Saint Barth' or even Saint Barth of the old days. You will be surprised. I did like the islands, especially TdB, for what they offered-but not as a clone to SBH. If you like hiking then MG and TdB would be perfect, etc.

Please feel free to ask questions. Best regards, Erma
