Travel:

-St Maarten to San Juan to Hartford: AA somehow screwed up our flights. We were not showing up as having a flight home(which was ok with me, LOL). The wonderful AA staff at the airport spent and hour fixing everything. No problems after that.
Car rental:
-Kennys car rental: Leslie is absolutely wonderful!!!! Car was perfect. Thank you Leslie..see you next year in July!
NOTE: This is our 19th year to the Island. We stay at the Towers at Mullet Bay for 2 weeks. I love the Towers and the Staff. The weather for the first week was wonderful as usual. As for the second week we had many days of rain. But that didn’t stop us from going to the beach or shopping. Being in St Maarten when its raining is still better than being in CT..LOL!!!
