Bob and I found SXM on a cruise.. Bob HATES organized anything so we rented a taxi... Bought an ice chest filled it with beer (shared with driver.. don't tell anyone) and asked him to show us HIS island... Our only requirement was we wanted to see the nekkid people on Orient (WAY over-rated... the nekkids not Orient) and beyond that asked us to show us HIS island... we had 1.5 hours on Orient.... stopped at Baie Rouge and Mullet to just take a look.... a couple of hours at some bars he frequented... met some of his friends.... in short fell in love with the island... 9 trips later and no more cruises we keep coming back...
