This week I’ve been spending the most amazing time at a family reunion in Barbados. 

It turns out that I am the great grandson of a sea captain who had a few families in Barbados ( he is reputed to have sired more than 40 children!) and my trip over here has been like none I’ve ever done before.

At a time when I’m getting ready to promote St. Lucia’s tourism by creating a website to showcase "The Best of St. Lucia" I’ve been inspired by the discovery that my great grand father, Captain John Douglas, was also extremely philanthropic and would share out foodstuff to his entire community, both black and white, whenever he returned from a sea voyage…and this at a time when racial prejudice was a greater issue than it is today.

This discovery motivates me even more in my newest venture to use the internet skills I’ve acquired to benefit more people than just myself.

As always your comments are welcome…
 

Thought that this boat was simply super cool just hanging out in the Castries Harbour in St. Lucia…

At St. Lucia’s recent carnival I chanced upon this Beautiful Babe and had a field day with my camera.  Not only was she stunningly beautiful, but she also had a wonderful personality, which was quite simply…the icing on the cake…

OK, so I’ve been missing in action for quite some time now, as I was super busy with so many ideas swimming around in my head, that I needed some time away.

Well I have crystallized some of those thoughts into an action plan that will see me promoting St. Lucia’s tourism in a very focused way online…

Do a google search for "St. Lucia" & I come up #1…even above The St. Lucia Tourist Board…And truth is I now have the skills to come up # 1 for lots of search terms and I will be using these skills to benefit St. Lucia’s Tourism, then next I’m gonna create a training program to share with photographers, the secrets of my techniques…techniques that are netting me bigger paying photo assignments than I ever received before, even in these harsh economic times!!!

Kirk Elliott Takes Internet Marketing In St. Lucia To The Next Level

Hot on the heels of this seminar I’ll be on ‘Talk’, St. Lucia’s # 1 TV Talk Show, this Thursday August 5th expounding on the topic some more and I hope that you will tune in to see me and that you will offer your feedback… 

As I fly back into Miami, yet again, I thought I’d pause to salute all of the brave men & women who serve in the military and help to make this world a safer place. 

I remember traveling to Miami about a week or two after 911, and being shocked at how deserted the arrival hall was at Miami International Airport.  It was as if no one dared to venture back into an aircraft…and little by little the world has clawed its way back to not being petrified of getting on a plane.

So once again…"Hats Off "… to the brave men & women in uniform who help to make our world a safer place…

Been kinda busy again over the last couple of days, but just couldn’t let another day go by without adding another pretty picture.

Thought I’d share this one which to me just simply says ~ "Smiles in anticipation of all that life’s got in store for them"

Here’s a picture of the Pitons when the surrounding hills were a lot greener than they are now.  Ah, how we look forward to a return to those days…
