First, congrats on your marriage. Second, thanks for a great trip report. It sure sounds like you did some research before making the trip. After coming to SXM for 30 years my husband and I are still discovering new places to see and new places to eat. Each trip we repeat what we liked best from our previous trips and add some new. It makes it feel comfortable yet exciting all at the same time. Based on what you liked (and didn't care for as much) this trip I would strongly recommend a trip to Anse Marcel Beach if they are open the next time you visit SXM. I think you guys would really enjoy a day there.
Again, thanks for a great trip report. I enjoyed reading it very much.
