flying into Beef Island jagmansr 10/13/2024 09:48 PM Just wondering if anyone who has flown into Beef Island on American out of Miami has had any checked luggage issues? We are flying down in 4 weeks. We have always flown into St Thomas and have had no trouble with all our checked luggage. I realize this will be a smaller plane and I'm concerned about getting all our luggage there. We always take a Polar bear cooler with frozen meats and chesses. Any past experiences?

Royal Palm first night dolfer 10/13/2024 01:40 PM Checked in yesterday and I am not impressed. Yes the placeis is upscale and modern but walking into the lobby to check in I was unable to hear the clerk over the music. They had not acknowledged my request for a west wing room and placed us directly in front of Nowhere Special. Loud music kept my daughter awake until 2 AM. We called The front desk this morning and asked for a different room and they’ve given us a bunch of rigmarole. Told us maybe sometime this week we could move. Nonsense

we went to the pool last night and we were immediately assaulted by loud TV poolside. A shoot-em up bang bang movie, no seats at the bar and poor service for inferior drink. again, not impressed.

standby for more later.

Sourdough Nobby Aristotle 10/12/2024 12:58 PM Not sure if this is a long shot but Mrs Nobby is a slave to the sourdough - the expensive artisan stuff that she toasts and has with peanut butter and Marmite for breakfast.
Are there any bakeries/stores which sell this in Philipsburg or are we more likely to find it in the French side ?

Trip report cruzer 10/12/2024 10:53 AM The past 4 days have been uneventful and going according to script. Our driver arrived at 2:00 am Tuesday for the 90+ mile trip to DFW for our 5 am departure. We landed around 1 pm, and other than waiting for luggage arrived at Grand Case Beach Club around 2:30, our home for the next month.

It is hot and muggy, I believe the dew point was 82 on Tuesday, and the water temperature is 86—perfect for me—so perfect in fact that on Wednesday I was in the water from 10 am – 3 pm, exiting only to make a bar run. I hadn’t done that in ages.

Our primary activities are eating, drinking, swimming, and kicking back. We don’t visit other beaches as we have 2 perfectly good beaches on site, with all the conveniences we need. So far, we’ve eaten lunch at Le Taitu, Tapas at Sunset Café (the kitchen will have a full menu and dinner hours next week), Bistrot Caraibbes, and cheese and crackers from our Bacchus Deli run. Breakfast is generally croissants with butter and jam. We also picked up supplies at Super-U, so we’re set for a while.

I haven’t taken too many pictures, but here are some of them:
1.Pre sunrise from 35000 feet
2. Sunset Tuesday
3. standard breakfast
4. Veal scallopini at Le Taitu
5-7 misc
8-20 Dinner at Bistrot Caraibbes
