We went from 12/24 to 1/14. Air travel: Largely on time MDT-CLT-SXM, "Choice Seat" issue discussed in other post. Return: SXM-PHL-MDT, Anti-Zone loading fiasco also discussed in other post. Belair Hotel: Sand has returned to beach. Not much else has changed. Quiet/Peaceful/nice. Weather: One full rain for 1/2 day of the 3 weeks. Otherwise short spritz every couple days. Restaurants: Chesterfields several times. Terrific Lobster Mark's Place: Excellent Steak/Excellent Ribs - Most affordable dinner we had on the island. Green House: Happy Hour drinks very good, Fish and Chips were excellent as were the King Crab legs. Pineapple Pete's: New place for us. Went because of what's been said on this site. Great advice. Good food, Great service, this will be added to our agenda. Traffic: Lots of jams. Used to be just the Dutch side that had horrible pot holes, French have now joined in. Shopping: Grande Marche and Sunny Foods have almost everything. Cost U Less a bit less interesting, getting mostly commercial trade. Rima's about the same as before. Everything still closed on Christmas and New Year but some stores open for a few hours on Boxing Day. Cigars: Emphasis still on Cubans but more Dominicans being offered.
