It was 1988. I was my first trip to SXM and to the Caribbean. Staying @ my brother’s BEAUTIFUL Pelican timeshare unit (those were the days.) It was December and we left from PHL but was I too stupid to even know to leave my coat in the car at the airport. I’ll NEVER forget getting the taxi and looking around marveling at the tropical scenery. I said to the taxi driver... Oh my G-d what a beautiful day and such a beautiful place and he turned to me with the biggest brightest smile and said Miss, EVERYDAY HERE BEAUTIFUL. I’ll never forget that. And when I think about I have to agree with him.
