Hi Friends!
I saw a post about possible locations on the island for testing. Can you give a recommendation for the most efficient testing center? Were you able to make an appointment and what was the cost?
Thanks!

Hi, Does anyone know what the going rate typically is for a beach chair massage on Orient beach?

We were there for just a short bit yesterday, and I asked one of them, she told me $160 for an hour. That is more than I pay back home at the chiro office! Is that truly what they go for? Trying to plan a girls afternoon surprise for my mom and sister when they arrive, but that seems awfully high for a sandy massage on a beach chair!

And I am DEFINITELY not trying to get one for less than is reasonable, I know they need the tourists traffic, but this would be over $500 for one hour with tip for the 3 of us. Just curious if I am out of touch with current pricing.

We are scheduled to travel to SXM next Friday the 29th. We need to go on this trip!

Question for those in the know about COVID travel. We have a short layover in Atlanta. Like 45 minutes. We will have been tested within 120 hours of this flight departure as required. What would happen if we missed the connection and Delta had to move us to Saturday after an overnight stay
? We would be outside of our 120 hours.

My guess is they do a test for us or SXM makes and exception. I noticed todays flight through Atlanta was on time and then left about 25 minutes late. My guess is that with the near empty fights combined with the problem I described they may have waited for a passenger to connect thus delaying the departure.

Any info very much appreciated.

Greetings all

I have seen and read the information on the exclusion zone. I have also seen that you need to get permission to sail through that area.

Our normal route usually takes us from JVD/CGB around West End and we usually spend our last night on either Norman or Peter (depending on how we feel, lol). We will be down in February and would like to take our normal route.

Can we sail around West End?
Do we need to get permission?
Or do we have to go up around Scrub / Trellis Bay and down the channel?

Thanks much!

Will

If this story was supposed to tell us why this project has taken so long, I didn't understand it.

After a few days of blustery winds, this is what greeted me this morning.

This could affect SXM flights.

First off, my island fever is bad right now...so apologies for the second consecutive thread.

What are your favorite USVI multi-night bays/anchorages (excluding St. Croix)?

Maho is one of my favorites, but I haven't explored the USVIs enough to have any other favorite spots for multiple nights. I know I didn't enjoy hanging out in Crown Bay Marina for a weekend once while waiting on a delivery....that Crowley yard noise from containers banging around is something painful to listen to all night....

We'll have young ones to entertain and crew that wants at least the option of nabbing a drink or food from a beach vendor so I am considering I am considering Magens Bay or Honeymoon/Druif for our group as another multi-night....

Personally, Great Lameshur looks like a winner to me, but sadly I think the crew (kids and adults) would be bored....

Anyone want to share their favorite multi-night spots?
