Thanks Carol for that tip, we started doing that at the Maho Market last trip. Will do my best on the pictures. Right now on our 1st day I feel rushed, need Island time to kick in. Or at least a couple of these.

jaxon--yes, that's my question. I don't know, can Holland put a tax on SXM? I don't know.

I have never been to Mardi Gras except for the celebration in Grand Case. I love parades! Hubby loves the skimpy costumes, of course.

Hi all,
We are looking to book a trip in early April to stay on Virgin Gorda. We also want to spend a few nights on Anegada so I'm trying to sort VG to Anegada. I've been to the Smith's and Fast Ferry site and there are no trips scheduled until late April. I thought they maintained the M-W-F schedule year round except during hurricane season???

Whoa Air France 446 heading to sxm suspected a fuel leak going over Atlantic & diverted to Gander Newfoundland in Canada. Landed safely where they were looked after & accommodated by airport staff. A new aircraft was sent from Paris CDG & carried passengers on to SXM. Reported by CBFM- Cape Breton. I wondered what the AF4080 flight was. Now I know. Good job Gander!!

If you are looking in the near future, that could be tough as many are already sold out. A friend said he was able to recently get a rental from Empress. The company I amusing is booked. You might find a last minute reatal at the airport but that might be extremely expensive also. Good luck.

Rosies charging $30.00 for a set of those beat up chairs??? Clarence still there!! Love his morning blessing!!! Shame about the her burger, it was always really good along with her ribs and I liked the hotdogs she cooked too! Her drink of the day are KILLER!!! Gotta say we love Mulett, nice and calm and great snorkeling!! Haven't been there in a while, must return!!

I went with a friend of mine( not to long ago) who is a big beer connoisseur to LaGoonies where they sell many LOLO brewery's brands . He said every was very good!!! We had good time talking with the manager!!! We were told they have product for sale, both bottles and cans. I saw you mentioned cans, I do enjoy a Coors light on the beach and by the pool when at Beachside Villas!! https://www.facebook.com/Lagoonies/

OHHHH that's something out of a John Wick movie!!!!
Another reason why we travel early and early evenings!! I have no time to be Rambo on vacation!!

Glad to hear you are enjoying it Diane. My daughter has enjoyed many trips to Portimao, just along the coast from where you are (she has a Portuguese friend who is from there). Worth a visit I think as you have a car.

We are over on the east coast of Spain right now and, until the last couple of days the weather has been lovely, sunny and high 60's low 70's during the day but we need the wood burner in the evenings. Damp and high 50's today but can't complain (although I will).

Just walked back from Fat Tony’s. There is “something” running out of Starz in the parking lot. I’m super “stuffy” but my husband said it doesn’t smell right. Will still check with CBC management Monday.

Like I said, it's not clear that the fact I'd filled out the form made any difference to the guy in Road Town. He asked me where I was staying and what boat I was going to be on without looking at the QR/conformation stuff in the app. They were mostly concerned with getting their $20 tourism tax from each of us.

There was a casino at the Great Bay Resort on the way to Belair.

Thank you!

I would definitely say yes! Lots of street vendors, a parade, entertainment, etc! The biggest problem is figuring out parking.

That article is from last SEPTEMBER!!🙄🙄

We are staying in this one next week, it has a wall around the pool. Just a few houses back behind KKO. Island Escape is really easy to work with and it was actually cheaper than Airbnb. I attached their rentals location and list too.
