Todd (46) & Melinda (42) from NW Washington State, about 65 mi north of Seattle. Our first trip to SXM was in 2001 when we were 26/29 years old *sigh*. We are heading back Jan 2018 for our 10th trip. We always stay on the French side in Orient Village. It's a lot easier to get to SXM now. Usually can go there in 1 stop - red eye out of SEA to either JFK/EWR/ATL and then down to the island. Actually flying through PHL for the first time this next trip.
