Sounds like you may have stayed at Mont Vernon? Just a guess. Curious about how you visited the island with no luggage. Did you simply make sure all your toiletries were 3 ounces or less, or just buy everything once you reached St. Martin? In the past when Club O. was alive an well you certainly didn't need to pack much (if any) clothing if you chose to stay on the grounds, but you can't dine at the places you mentioned without clothing on (especially Bistrot Caribes!). I'd love to be able to forego baggage fees with the airlines, but that never happens to us. Are there any tips you can share?
