Taxi driver Kevin on St. Thomas

1 hour ago
Search didn't turn up the phone number of the taxi driver on St. Thomas. Ratman is flying down Saturday, with a tight connection to the ferry and a lot of bags. Does anyone have Kevin's phone number?

Sunset Lambada

Had been a few years since we had done this. Went on it Saturday night and was a fun time. Crew was very attentive and kept bringing around snacks and making sure we were well taken care of. Was shocked to see how many passed on the tip jar.

La Playa - staff leaving?
tomp
Yesterday at 06:08 PM
Rumor has it that Alexandrea, GP, the head waiter and chef are leaving to open their own place!
Can any one confirm this or is it fake news.
Spend a lot of time there.

Marigot ...Sandy Ground
TOWZERONE
Yesterday at 03:52 PM
Been coming here for nearly 30 yrs
Things I have really noticed this trip
Kids on bikes with no helmets driving like imbeciles with no respect.for others
Sirens around town
At least 4 a day since we got here 10 days ago
A few yrs back we were lucky to hear one
The weather ...3 days of cloud and rain the past 10 days
Have never ever seen that many off days
Police in Marigot standing on streets with semi automatics
Never ever saw that before
Guaranteed the tourism here is going to be declining if this manageable stuff above isn't fixed
Feel sorry for the island

Anegada Car Rental or Taxi
DaveF
Yesterday at 03:50 PM
We plan 2 nights in Anegada, first weekend of June. There are 5 adults.
On day 1 I am guessing we would take off for "a beach" after lunch.
Day 2...out all day and then back for dinner out.
Would it make more sense to rent a car for 2 days? Or just Taxi back and forth.

Last 2 Days on Island May 20-21
jomarc
Yesterday at 01:16 PM
The last two days of this trip were great (except for the part of going home).
On our last full day (Wednesday), the winds had picked up a bit. I really wanted to visit Orient Beach, but didn’t want to get sandblasted. So we ended up spending a few peaceful hours on the chairs at Friar’s Bay Beach Club. It was a pleasant visit, with mostly cloudy skies and calm water.
Marc had his heart set on having lunch at Le Bistro Nu in Marigot. We sat inside, enjoying the cool air conditioning. Marc ordered beef cheeks, and I ordered sea bass. Both meals were very delicious, and the service was great. It’s one of our favorite restaurants for lunch.
We met friends for one last Happy Hour at Skipjacks, and a fun time was had by all. We then drove to Driftwood for dinner, arriving shortly before 8pm, but were told they were closing for the day. Plan B was a visit to Topper’s. The bartender there is an absolute sweetheart! The coconut shrimp appetizer was fantastic, as was the fried chicken sandwich.
Thursday morning was spent packing and soaking in the beautiful pool at Simpson Bay Yacht Club. The owner of the condo kindly allowed us to stay until 1:30, as no guests were checking in that day. At around 7:30 am Marc left to fill the car with gas, and got stopped at a police checkpoint at the French/ Dutch border. For some unknown reason, all cars were being stopped. Lunch was at Cappuccino. The location isn’t great, but the food is usually good and reasonably priced. We ordered Spaghetti Bolognese and a Chicken Shawarma wrap. The bolognese was excellent, but the chicken wrap, while flavorful and plentiful, was a little dry. But for a very reasonable price of $10, one can’t complain. We each had a $3 Red Stripe, served nice and cold. Service charge was on the bill, but again, the service was great, and we tipped extra.
We returned the rental car to Empress, which is located right across from the airport. The red VFW served us well all week. We got to the airport, in the rain, at 2:30 pm for an American Airlines flight to Miami at 4:30. It was the easiest check-in process to date. Virtually no lines, no waiting, and a jetway! It was an interesting flight, with a couple sitting in front of us arguing pretty much the entire flight. I really felt bad for the husband. So much for a peaceful first class experience…
Our flight from Miami to Boston was delayed about an hour and we arrived in Boston at about 1:45 am, and home shortly after 3 am.
It was a great trip, filled with meeting old and new friends, plenty of relaxation and nearly perfect weather! We plan on being back next year.

Approached from the back for valet parking. Valet turns out to be our server too. Had great service and food was very good. We went with another couple to celebrate their anniversary. Nice setting with comfortable high back chairs.

If a US citizen passes away on SXM
TJTrippe
Yesterday at 04:14 AM
Just curious have no plans in this regard
1) is it easy enough to be cremated on island?
2) is it easy for companion to bring “you” back on a regularly scheduled flight?
3) Can ashes be carried on
4) is customs or TSA an issue on connecting flight?
Friends just lost a spouse in Europe. Died playing golf. She said it was an ordeal to ship him home in belly of plane via Atlanta.
