Hi Carol,

Given you are a sxm regular, Antigua might be a match. I find it shares some vibes at times. Having said that it misses areas like Simpson Bay, Maho Orient Bay and Grand Case where you walk from venue to venue.

Rodney Bay area St Lucia does has that vibe. + lush Pitons area - not sure why a hard no for STL. My guess is better match than some other options

Fairly nice sunrise today (see sunrise panorama), should be packed on the beach- no, packed parking lot rather. Beach is not at all crowded, even with afternoon high tides, since there is so much sand right now! Talked to a construction engineer yesterday who confirmed there will be both a large bathhouse near the entrance as well as showers near the path to the beach. Should all be beautiful when it's finally done. Completion date still supposedly 12/1 +/- a few days. The engineer played it cagily and would not commit to that! People still have to park 3/4 of a mile away at Little Mud Creek. Some smart folks are dropping their stuff off at the auxiliary path entrance just north of the closed BCB main entrance, parking and riding bikes (or even scooters) back.

My friend's family and friends are physically ok, although I'm sure traumatized from the widespread destruction.

As of now, if anyone wants to give, they are suggesting an official Jamaican government website and Samaritan's purse

I'm sure as time goes along, there will be other specific Jamaica places to donate.

That sounds like an amazing trip! I’ve heard Transylvania and Brasov are beautiful, but it’s nice to hear firsthand how much the country has changed and modernized. The mix of old and new sounds really interesting. I agree it’s always smart to do a bit of research first, especially with the economic differences you mentioned. Thanks for sharing your experience, it definitely makes Romania sound worth visiting but If you plan to explore more of Romania, you might want to hire a local guide through https://gowithguide.com/ They offer private, customizable tours with locals who can show you hidden gems and make the most of your time.

Will put our 2 cents in for Kazan. Both Tim and his sister Anna run a really neat
Resort. If you ever have had qualms about going to a naked resort don’t
This is the most beautiful quaint place. The oyster Bay Area is really quiet with a lot of restaurants nearby plus the orient Bay Area is only about 15 minutes away
