Something from the island cruzer 3 hours ago Our journey began with our car service arriving at 1:30 am Tuesday morning for the 90-minute drive to DFW, arriving at SXM 11 hours later. Our bags got hung up between the plane and the carousel, so we didn’t arrive at Grand Case Beach Club until around 4 PM.

Our plan for this trip is simple—eat, drink, swim, exercise, and especially sleep. So far everything is falling into place.

There are many new cats on site, some of which have been fixed, so we have new friends to make, which is fairly easy as we buy kibble by the kilo.

We generally go out to eat once a day, eating one meal on site. So far, we have been to Le Ti Coin Creole where we had the fried snapper filet in garlic butter sauce with an array of 7 vegetables, Yvettes for conch stew, Le Champagne Bistro for marlin/tuna tartar and last night at Bistrot Caraibes. I have pictures of the meals except for Bistrot, as I have plenty of them already

Anyway, the water isn’t really high, but it rolls in up to the seawall at times. The ocean temperature was 87 on arrival and the pool, 88. The temps have dropped 2 degrees so far but are still ideal.

We’re here until Nov 17 so I may get around to a few more reposts but no guarantees. I try to make laziness an art form.

Bay Rouge parking lot Cincinnati_Kid 10/21/2026 06:48 PM St. Martin (French side) needs to make the Bay Rouge parking lot more welcoming. Was there last spring and the parklng lot had deep ruts and was a total mess. Surely this beach could make a comeback if only the French would do some grading and covering with gravel with improved signage. What think you ???

Traveling to Austin for the USGP Tennar 10/21/2026 05:28 AM I am super excited to attend my first F1 race in person this weekend at COTA! Since it’s my first time, I am looking for tips to make the most of the race weekend and my trip to Austin.

I found these two helpful articles with some useful information:

Things to Do Off the Track covers activities and places to explore around Austin.

F1 Guide to Visiting COTA offers practical tips for visiting the circuit.

I will arrive on Friday and stay until Thursday, so I will have plenty of time to explore Austin after Sunday's race.

For those who have attended the USGP or visited Austin before, what would you recommend? I would love tips on getting around the track, finding good local food, and discovering interesting places around the city. Anything that could make the trip more enjoyable would be appreciated!

Quiet Hurricane Season? Husker 10/19/2026 02:49 PM Its been a light hurricane season in the Caribbean. Actually, unless i missed something, there hasn't been a single named storm (in the Caribbean) and its making me very nervous. Does anyone think this is odd?

Trip to Anguilla S&S 10/19/2026 02:24 PM Our son & his girlfriend would like to go to Anguilla for the day. Since we have never been we are of no help. Please tell me everything they need to know. They want to rent a car. What is there to see & do besides beaches? Which beaches are the most beautiful to see? A good restaurant recommendation with view. They are not sit on beach type of people, like us, lol. Is there parking by the ferry or should we drop them off? Thank you in advance.
