Knowing the situation prior to my leaving for SXM on March 8 Ed, I took a container of wipes with me as they were plentiful here then. Every grocery, dollar store, etc had them and were fully stocked prior to people in the US starting to buy like crazy. Perhaps the store you visited was out but that does not mean it is island wide as you implied. Perhaps you should have taken some with you.

And I agree with CLIFFTOPS.
