    Any travel agents out there? I'm updating the package holiday article and had a couple of questions.

    It would be great if you could PM me your phone number, so I could give you a call. Thanks!

    Travel Agents / Tour Operators / Any specific knowledge you require from them? I say that as I doubt anyone who answers questions on this thread will have the authorisation to go on record to MSE!

    8th August - Discovery at Marigot Bay - St Lucia & nights Bed and Breakfast in a 1 bedroom Bayview suite - 2 adults and 2 children (ages 2 and 7)- £1342

    then

    15th August 7 nights at the St James Club - Antigua - same people of course all inclusive £1740 all inclusive in a Club room (beachfront)

    The flights are with Virgin but probably wont be beat as they are 8th to St Lucia coming back on 22nd from Antigua £2530 for us all.

    Then Liat flights on 15th from St Lucia to Antigua $679 as per Liat site (£350)
