Our first trip was a sales contest prize from my company (Xerox)in the mid 80s. A week at Dawn Beach Resort (pre hurricane demolishion of same). Most vivid memory was "interesting" bus ride from the airport on one lane road over the mountain and the frequent loss of electricity that was anticipated and minimized by the staff at the resort.
Glad that we also saw past the negatives and have never missed a year since. (Also glad we bought t/s at Belair instead of Dawn Beach a couple years before Dawn Beach disappeared).
