I agree with Jazzgal ... let's just be thankful for what is up-and-running and what we have. If something is still in need of repair we simply won't go there. My wife and I were here last March and we had a great time, and now we're looking forward to our next visit in about five weeks. As long as the weather cooperates I now we'll have a great time. We can go anywhere in the Caribbean we want including Mexico, but we choose St. Martin this time of year because of all it has meant to us in the past. For those reading this forum and trying to decide whether to come here in the next few months I would strongly encourage you to still make your plans and visit. There's still a lot to do, beautiful beaches, and great dining all over this island (including the French side).
