Our Free Lunch At Juliettes Whale Tail Yesterday at 08:56 PM We cashed in 2 of our 4 free lunches coupons that we have won playing bingo at the pool bars. What else are you going to do while at a pool bar.
I was surprised at the selection on the free lunch menu. One drink each and included a dessert. The dessert we took to go.

Airfares Going Up Whale Tail Yesterday at 01:17 PM With our airline Air Transat that we use we can book our flight 361 days in advance. We are believers that airfares only go up after they are available to book and we get to pick the seats we want. Now there may be sales down the road but by then your seat selection is limited. We fly FC and there is only 12 of those seats on the plane.

For the first time rather than book a return flight we booked one way a couple of weeks back and will be able to book our return flight before we leave.

When we booked our one way flight for 2 it cost us $1999.24 CDN.
Today when we checked the price for the same flight it is now $2439.24.CDN
That's $440.00CDN more.
Ouch!!!

STAYING AT SUGAR MILL ADVICE crow Yesterday at 12:51 PM My sister and husband are visiting later this month and staying at Sugar Mill for a long weekend. I have not been back since hurricane so my suggestions might be "outdated". Any advice on a few things to do? I was going to suggest Long Bay Beach, Smugglers Cove, Banakeet for sunset and a visit over to Sopers Hole. Thinking these are all an easy drive from Sugar Mill. Was going to suggest stay away from Cane Garden and Road Town if cruise ships are in. I know a lot of my old favorites sadly no longer exist. Thanks in advance.

A Few Pics Whale Tail Yesterday at 12:49 PM A few rainbow pics from this morning. There were a couple, one with Icon of the Seas arriving and a different one over Simpson Bay. The yacht Maltese Falcon 288' arrived overnight in Simpson Bay and the longest single mast sailboat in the world M5 255' arrived yesterday in Simpson Bay and tried to drop anchor but couldn't get it to hold because of wind and current. So it headed to Marigot to drop anchor.

Recommendations on staying up near Orient? the captain Yesterday at 01:52 AM Having spent so much time on the French side this last trip, any recommendations on places to stay up near Orient?

We are so used to La Terasse & La Plage. Are there any comparable places to stay up on the French side worth recommending?

Well Now - What A Difference A Week Makes Whale Tail 03/16/2026 01:34 AM Today was a move day back up to the 5th floor and we had to be at Rendezvous Jazz Brunch by 1pm, the move didn't go smoothly but we made it.

We took 2 friends from up state New York that have never been to the brunch before and they thoroughly enjoyed it. This week they had a harmonica player that
sat in on a few songs wow was he good, really good.

Then it was time to leave but we couldn't get out of the parking lot because of about 4 cars in the roundabout. They were smoking their tires and doing donuts
round and around the traffic circle and at least one of the cars exhaust system made a sound like an automatic weapon. All the while when this was happening
the security guard that opens the gate to Porto Cupecoy was filming this. This went on for about 10 minutes and then the cars headed off to the French side.

We made it home to SBR and went down to the Villa Pool for a drink and sat on the dry side of the pool bar as we were still in our clothes. About 15 minutes
after we sat down, I assume the same cars were in front of Captains Rib Shack doing the same thing, and this went on for 15 minutes. It didn't startle us this time
but the 2 men we were talking to at the bar and probably everyone else thought it was an automatic weapon fire. The police station is on the other side of the bridge
but that didn't deter them, go figure.

Saturday and Sunday are changing over days and boy did it change. March Break!!!!
The environment has totally changed to an Animal House theme.
Us and the bartender were getting splashed with water. The bartender said once "I had a shower this morning and I don't need one this afternoon"
It didn't help. It will be interesting tomorrow when the regular bartender returns from her day off. They will be dealing with a different person then.

Hopefully the B pool where we are located will remain quiet.
I think we will hang out here.
