Day 6 (Thursday 6/24) - Today started out with the Divi Timeshare presentation. Ninety minutes of chit chat and sales pitches but we declined. We are HGVC members and use RCI for exchanges. We got a free Covid test out of it so it only cost $80 instead of $160. Drove around to Marigot, ate lunch at Rosemary's. Had some jerk chicken and ribs. Headed over to Driftwood Bar to watch some planes, then to Mary's Boon for some cocktails. Day 7 (Friday 6/25) - Last full day here . Mid-afternoon was Covid testing time so we decided to stay put at Divi and have a relaxing day enjoying their beach. Day 8 (Saturday 6/26) - Up early, checked out by 9:15 and drove to SAX to drop off car. Airport check in went smoothly. While waiting at the bar for boarding we heard our names being called. We were among the few who were chosen randomly by TSA Homeland Security to get "frisked". The only good thing about it was that we were able to board before everybody else for the inconvenience. And away we go! Bill and I had the most amazing time in SXM and will definitely come back again soon. However, a week is no longer good enough for me!

I hear you on that week thing. We started out with a week 40+ years ago and after a lot of wheedling I got DH to extend to ten days which he says is the perfect vacation. That’s what he says!! We’re up to 14 to 18 days but that last only once. Two weeks is quite lovely and I count my blessings for that.
So glad your trip went well and even with slightly less than perfect SXM weather you’re still a fan. Time to book the next one, right? 😊😊

Thanks for the report. Yes, 10 days is also about the perfect timeframe for me. After that I get a little antsy.

It's really pretty easy to post pictures. Like I said, you just have to be in Use Full Editor mode and upload using Attachment Manager. Don't forget, you can only upload one at a time.

We started with one week, gradually increased it to two weeks. Even then, time flies by too quickly.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

The longest we’ve ever stayed in Sint Maarten was 2.5 weeks and believe it or not, that was enough for me. But that was a November/December trip and I still had a few left-over Christmas details to tend to. And on the other hand, my DH was ready to go home at the ten day mark. We agree about 95% of the time but this, I fear, is one thing we’ll never agree on. 🙂🙂
