Passport and St. Lucia
I'm travelling to St. Lucia next week, for two weeks, my passport is fine, however my girlfriend's UK passport expires in mid June. I've looked on a couple of websites and they seem to be vague as to whether you need to have 6 months validity on your passport, or not. It's just a bog standard holiday so does anybody know if this is a problem?
Cheers and thanks for any help in advance.

Don't take what i say as gospel but as a rule no-one really puts the six months thing into practise.
I see people every day travelling to the states - somewhere where you'd think they'd be bothered with all their stupid rules and regulations - with less than six months on their passport!
So long as it's valid for the return sector it really shouldn't be a problem.

Too mean to buy a long personal title
