I can't wait to try the Banana Vanilla rum. Sounds delish...ice cold on the rocks!! I have a feeling my liver will be ready to divorce me by the time we get back home. Leaving tomorrow...can't wait!!

Thanks for the info. I love Squirt...so I think I'll enjoy Ting as well. I've been hearing about the to-die-for MaDouDou Rum...so that would probably be a good combo! We are shopping for groceries at Grand Marche, so I'll have to pick some up. I'm sure we'll be strolling up to the fort at some point during the week! All good....><
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Well, I've taken all the good advice and booked a spot on the race with my hubby!! LOL! Since I don't have to do anything but enjoy and take some pics. Should be fun...now I'm excited about it. What is a Ting and Rum? I'm looking to try new drinks!!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Thanks Barbara! I don't imagine we would need to be there at night. Will mainly stick to bars and restaurants, and only do any real driving back to Little Divi. Sounds like in order to drive on it, I'd really have to seek it out.

Sailing is my hubby's thing. He's been racing sailboats since he was 4...so for 40 years. Racing on an America's Cup Yacht is going to be the highlight of the year for him I'm thinking. >< It just doesn't excite me, so I'd rather spend that money on something else. Plus, at this late date they probably wouldn't have any openings left for his time and d

Morning everyone! With only 4 days left till our trip...I'm bursting with excitement!! >< My hubby is doing the regatta challenge next Thursday morning. I'm wondering if anyone knows where this is held, and if it's on a beach, are there places to rent chairs or anything? I'm debating on whether or not to go and watch (take pics), or just hang back at the Little Divi

What are the lowlands? And where are they? Barbara1 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > yes, there can be robbers on that road through the > lowlands at night. > if you go out at night, go through marigot instead

I think we'll hit Karakter for sure at some point. Sounds like a great place!!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Philippe, how long do you think it should take us to get there from Little Divi Bay?
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Oh boy!! I was thinking Saba would be a relaxing beach day. Sounds more like the type of place to explore. Although it's probably much less of a hassle to get to, I think we'll stick with our plan of spending the day at Shoal Bay on Anguilla. Better plan to set the alarm clock for an early start that day. I guess we might have time to nap before dinner on that day, since we have to
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Okay, here's my next question. Trying to decide where to go for a day trip off SXM. Was decided on Anguilla, but it's sounding like a hassle...especially since we are only going to chill on the beach for the day. I was doing a bit of research and Saba sounds nice, and easier all the way around. What do you all think??
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

LMAO!! I'm glad I'm not alone in my confusion. For me, cocktails will only make it worse. LOL!!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

It's all so confusing to me!! To tip, or not to tip...that is the question.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Our ressies are made for the 21st. My mouth is watering and I can't wait to get there!!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Thanks for the info!! Sounds like we should definitely plan to eat there. Do we need a reservation? I can only assume we would, since it's only once a week.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Looking for some input on this? Is it worth the money? What kinds of things are on it? We are arriving on Saturday and am thinking we might love to do this for dinner. Thoughts? Thanks....
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Oh Elaine...it's always 5:00 somewhere! LOL!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Thanks Denis! I also read somewhere that if you eat there the beach chairs and umbrellas are free. Bonus!!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Great trip report...thanks so much for sharing your memories and advice with us! I wrote down some places to try on our list for our upcoming 1st trip to the island in 2 weeks....Beau Beau's and La Bamba Beach Bar.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

This thread has my mouth watering. We are making our first trip to SXM on the 21 of this month. I am definitely going to attempt to find the factory. How many flavors of rum are there? The banana vanilla sounds delicious!! What do you drink it with?
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Thanks Karin! That is just the info I needed.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

I sent the resort an e-mail yesterday just to be sure. Also wanted to know more about the "theme" nights they have...especially the lobster night. I LOVE lobster and will be excited to have some on the island. >< Karin, we are arriving on the 21st and staying till the 28th! So stinkin excited!!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

We already have a Captial One Visa....whew!!! >< Thinking that will be our main card since there are no fees. I know there are a lot of places that don't accept Amex, so I'm sure it won't get much use.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Hey all! Which bar or bars is it that you can sit on the beach and watch the planes fly overhead from the airport? I've heard this is a super cool thing to experience. Thanks!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Thanks Elaine!! I'm sure I'll be able to find one somewhere.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Thanks!! I'm packing our little cups of vanilla creamer and some coffee. Almost forgot about filters. LOL!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

We are planning to use our American Express card where we can, and Visa for the others. Thanks for the info!!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

We are staying in SXM from 8/21 thru the 28th. Planning a day trip to Anguilla to spend the day at Shoal Beach and have lunch. We are staying at Little Divi Bay, and are renting a car. Is there a place to park cars at the ferry port in Mariogot? Is that where you would recommend for us to leave from? Best lunch suggestions for Shoal Bay? I also see that the last ferry is at like 4:00? Is t
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Our trip is almost here!! I'm so excited I could bust. Wondering if most places on the island take credit cards? We usually only travel with a minimal amount of cash. Just charge everything and that insures the conversion rate. But we don't want to get to SXM and Anguilla and find that most places don't accept cards. Thanks for the advice!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Was there a coffee pot in your room? We will be staying in a Studio...and I have my fingers crossed. I'd like to be able to have our coffee on the balcony every morning.
