Martinique, Guadeloupe, Dominica & St. Lucia - Alive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Martinique, Guadeloupe, Dominica & St. Lucia (Paperback)
My wife and I went to St. Lucia in April. We had prepared for our trip by reading all this book had to say about the island, which was very helpful in planning day trips, money exchange, restaurants, etc. We took the book with us and it was extremely helpful with maps when we drove around the island, and the different side trips off the main road. I would highly recommend it to any who are planning a trip to that area!

This review is from: Martinique, Guadeloupe, Dominica & St. Lucia (Alive Guides) (Kindle Edition)
This travel guide is outdated. Although it mentions it was published in 2009, the prices for Martinique and Guadeloupe are in French francs. The euro was introduced in 2001.....
