.....I made the mistake of looking at my trip counter as I logged in!

Today I should have been on a plane heading to the island we've loved for over 44 years. This planned two week trip was to have been the anniversary of our very first trip to SXM and the beginning of a long love affair with our favorite island. It was also to have been the first time we've ever managed to squeeze in three trips in the same calendar year.

And instead, I sit here in my office doing paperwork, remembering and wishing...... And thinking of my daughter and SIL who are there instead surveying the damage to their recently purchased island get-away home.

Kudos to all who were brave enough to keep your trip plans and commiserations to others who, like us, decided this just wasn't the time to head there yet.

There was a time when 'a little hurricane damage' wouldn't have stopped us, and in fact, it didn't in years gone by, but those days are long ago. I now find myself wishing for another year to pass quickly so we can return to the island we so love. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
