Departure Saturday RonDon 11 hours ago All went well. Met Leslie with wheelchair for hubby. He convinced me to get a chair also. Good thing because I was hopping more than walking. Leslie is one of a kind great guy!

Flight on time. Lots of people waiting at Jet Blue line. Had a jetway and took off on time. Again sad to leave. But I’ve already booked two weeks for 2027 God willing.

Whaletail, you will have to plan another TTOL party.

Reveil Matin/Simpson Bay Walk/The Palms Whale Tail 20 hours ago Pretty good day. We started off with breakfast at Reveil Matin, needed a healthy breakfast after a bout of stomach virus this week. Not fun but it's around here and everywhere else in North America.

I had The Reveil and my wife had The Douce Heure, milk cream raspberries with mueslix and a thick slice of toasted apple bread. Of course 2 Mimosas. Their dishes are a work of art and taste as good as they look.

JD Kareen asked about you and we said you would be on island in May and she thinks that she will be in Jamaica for 10 days leaving on May 20th.

Then it was off to D's grabbed a couple of waters and went for our walk. It's so peaceful and relaxing.
Babacool's was very busy and K's not so much and Mary Boons is always busy. Then back to D's for some rehydration then back to SBR to shower and get ready for dinner. The weather the past 3 weeks has been different this year. Instead of a short light rain every day it's been a downpour. Most days you can't even see Saba but today it has been visible but not clear.

The Palms never lets us down. Or server Romaine greeted us with a hug as well as Jo. He asked me if I wanted a bucket of Carib which the beer I order down here and I said no just 1 and told him the last time I was here you gave me a Carib bucket to take home and he remembered. The staff is the best.
I had the Drunken Ribs, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, salad with a side order of Creamy Mushroom Sauce for my potatoes. My wife had the Trinidaian Mild Chicken Curry Chicken with Roti and a salad she has never had a curry dish before and loved it.

Cruise/sail recommendation LuvSXM13 Yesterday at 02:22 PM Good morning everyone,

We are looking for recommendations for a day cruise/sail.

We have enjoyed Celine and Enigma with captain Neal a number of times but are interested in a similar trip that includes Tintemarre and the sea turtles.

Any thoughts would be appreciated and thank you in advance.

Saint Patrick's Day 2Travelers Yesterday at 01:07 AM Was at Fat Tonys tonite and they are getting ready for the 17th. Tuesday Morning will start with discounted beer, also during the day they will have music and some Irish dancers. It will be an all day affair. They are even going to paint the speed bump in front of Fat Tonys again. I took pictures of the menus he had and attached them here. Painted speed bump is from last year.

Itinerary Suggestions April 4-11 FirstMate4Life 03/13/2026 08:34 PM Hi,

We are traveling with our two teenagers to the BVI's for spring break. Bare boating. We have sailed the BVI's many times, but our last trip there was in 2015, without kids.

It seems much has changed in way of cruise ships, buoy reservations, and dinner reservations. We would rather not get sucked into cruise crowds or miss out on dinners because we didn't know to plan ahead and make reservations.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Lunch pardon my french RonDon 03/13/2026 07:30 PM Drove right by so had to turn around. Couldn’t find a parking spot. Ended up parking near Skip Jack. Long walk for Don but luckily he had his cane. I say luck because I threw out my right knee as we entered the restaurant and almost collapsed. Made it to a table with hubby’s and Novak’s help.

Lunch was fabulous! 3 course fix price $34.95. Don had salad, chicken cordon blu, flan. I had salad, boeuf burgonion lemon cream.
Sorry Whaletail for not having your recommendation chocolate bomb. I passed because the filling was hazelnut mouse.

Don walked alone with his cane to get the car. Drove up to restaurant front handed me his cane and I exited the place, limped to car. Not sure what we will do about going to fly Saturday.

We will definitely return..to this restaurant again!
