I love the 'lemmings' inference! What a good post. And, I agree with the assessments you have made. This is just my opinion, but SXM simply gets in your blood. For many of us it is by far our favorite Caribbean Island, and combines so many of the things that we enjoy when the need to get away arises. Of course, I would love to see Club Orient return. But, if it does not then controlled development along Orient Beach with the addition of 'Ibiza-style' beach bars would be a nice touch. By this, I mean places like Sa Trinxa and Malibu Beach Club where you have a full restaurant and bar with both patio and indoor seating, chair and umbrella rentals, sections for those who bring their own beach chairs, etc., and a relaxed dress code for dining for any places 'south of the rocks'. Not with crazy loud music blaring non-stop, but places where everyone from different age groups could mix and lure the next generation back year-after-year.
