Several months prior to our first visit to SXM I discovered TTOL and asked a lot of questions and read lots of threads. Armed with many suggestions we were on our way. Having no idea about logistics, we booked the Divi . Except for our first full day we spent every day checking out different beaches and going offsite for all of our dinners. Had we known all the things we wanted to see, do and eat were not in close proximity to the Divi we'd have picked a different location to stay. Aside from not liking our hotel choice we enjoyed the vacation so much we returned twice more that year.

The other thing I wished we hadn’t done was cram a day to Anguilla into our first vacation in St. Martin. We should have traveled off the island for a subsequent visit.

David probably wishes we hadn't traveled during Lent as he gives up "sweets" and was unable to indulge in any desserts during our week long stay.
