Arrived Saturday on American from CLT around 2pm. No jetway but ramp on front door. Walked to arrival hall, crowded around 200 plus.. Processing took about 30-40 minutes with 16-18 terminals. Advanced electronic form worked like a charm with Sxm attendant at every double station for help for those not pre arrival electronic completed which took time. Baggage already taken off conveyor in holding area and off to car rental. Ready for another two weeks in paradise…..dave

Ro, we had to postpone our March trip because my wife had to have surgery but , there are times when we come twice a year both march and November.

Also we’re at Izi‘s tonight, David has sold the place and the guy name Alan has taken over the place same staffing. Menu was good as usual. He also owns a place on the boardwalk. I believe it’s called new love, not sure of the spelling..

I had been told Davide sold Izi. I went in in late August and it was empty and no Davide.

We arrived on Sunday and ate at Izzy’s and also met the new owner and had a nice discussion. He was from New Jersey and has a luncheon place in Philipsburg for the past 3 years and purchased Izzy’s in August. He made it clear that he has not changed anything . The food was as good as usual.
On another note upon arrival my information was not accepted from my passport even though I had confirmation that it was accepted. The funny thing my wife’s was accepted and I did hers after I did mine. Fortunately the attendant entered the information much faster than me, she said even though I had a confirmation it sometimes doesn’t take.

Just curious: did you use the same email address for both submissions?

Maybe that's why your information wasn't accepted? I know when we had to apply for entry during covid, different emails were important.

If you are registered prior to coming down, it is passport based and we needed nothing but the scan of our passport upon arrival. Pretty simple.

I received a confirmation on my entry 2 weeks before our arrival using my passport as well as my wife’s and received confirmation for each of us within 15. Minutes of submission. While I had confirmation the kiosk did not accept min but did accept my wife’s. The attendant entered my information much faster than I could. After saying I had confirmation she said it happens occasionally.
