Teresa,

I don't know if you have time for this or interest, for that matter, but one of the best SXM times we've had in the last twenty years or so was our daytrip to Saba. It was so good that even given my DHes anxiety over the boat ride on the Edge, he agreed to return a year later for a stay-over. By the time the second trip took place, we actually flew and it was the experience of a lifetime.

I'm sure you know there are no beaches to speak of and we don't dive or hike but that first trip over was enough to make us know this was a place we wanted to return to. It's a photographers dream so bring a camera with an empty memory card.

That first trip we booked a packaged tour that included r/t transport on the Edge and a sight-seeing minibus tour on Saba with a full lunch at the Queens Garden Inn.

As we sat in their courtyard enjoying our lunch, we knew without a doubt, this was the perfect place to just plain chill, so the following year we booked an early flight over and a two night mini vacation in the middle of our timeshare stay and it was lovely.

If you have any interest at all, send me a pm and I'll share what we found regarding Saba. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
