Why get caught carrying a gun when you drive a 2 ton weapon?

I also carry items that are not designed to be weapons. The first and most useful is a small flat screwdriver. If anyone grabs me when I'm in the driver seat I slam on the throttle, pull him into the car nd then give him some facial damage before lining up with a lamppost or a wall.

I also have a heavy crowbar. Useful two disable an attacker once he is down.

Are you for real? I wouldn't be bragging about this, publicly OR privately.

I think Carol is correct. This is a tax from the government of the Netherlands, not Sint Maarten.

Wow, that is some good insight on SXM the other islands and Haiti. I went to Cap Haitien in July 1979 and so glad I did. Citadelle Laferriere 14 mile round trip donkey ride up the mountain. Hard to believe 46 years ago.

Re: Beer Options the captain 5 hours ago
Tom, I’m a beer guy and up until this am, I only saw SXM IPA and I typically only drink rum punch when in SXM

But I saw 3 Brewdog IPAs being sold at Driftwood this AM before our flight out. If you’re still around, perhaps inquire there after ordering a few?

These were the UK based lower octane IPAs, not the Ohio ones.

Re: cupecoy beach club kim 8 hours ago
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.

Re: BVI entry on line requirement? Ron Natalie Yesterday at 11:49 PM
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.

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

That's a matter of your opinion. I've had not so good ribs there before. Not to say they are always bad but mine weren't as good as I've had there before. Depends on the day like many other places.

Re: Clothing optional rental villa's, homes and/or resorts near Orient Beach? Tom8042 Yesterday at 02:55 PM
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.

Re: Blind Creek TJTrippe 02/21/2025 03:32 PM
Very true. There is grass on both sides of A1A and your car must be off the road, off the shoulder and in the grass. And finally, NOT on the asphalt bike path. St Lucie County Sheriff will right tickets.

They clearly aren’t forcing people to park .7 of a mile in Little Mud parking lot and making the trek either down A1A or down the beach.

The parking lot was like club O’s road when it needed paving. Probably worse. It looks like they have cleared out all the trees and fences and will have more parking. They might as well double or triple their plan (like they would in Texas) because more and more people come every week. It is the new Club O which is where a lot of nudists we’ve met fist shed their suit.

If they put a food truck in this new lot. Katie bar the door.

Re: Cost of taxi from STT to Blyden ferry terminal Aries4 02/21/2025 03:20 PM
Have prices skyrocketed? I was there less than a year ago and I got charged $10 pp with a buck per bag (plus tip). And that was what I remember paying 10 years before that which was the last time I had been able to visit.

Re: STT Departures jphart 02/21/2025 01:21 AM
Mainskier, If you do online advance checkin, and only have carryon luggage you should be fine with <2 hours. If you have TSA too that will help. As I outlined over on the BVI taxi forum, grab a RedCap Porter and it will greatly speed and enhance the experience with or without checked luggage.

Re: Club Orient Beach Joecool 02/20/2025 08:19 PM
Based on what I can glean by reading other posts and talking to people on the island and other guests who enjoy the beach at was once Club Orient, I don't think the government is going to do much to bring back Club Orient in any way in the short or long term. On the upside, it will provide more beach space for those who enjoy the beach au natural.
