Dragonfly--have you been to SXM before? I wondered why you were not renting a car. Cupecoy is a nice area, but if you just stay in that area, you surely will miss a GREAT deal of what SXM is about.

If for no other reason than to see P'burg for yourself, yes, I would make arrangements to meet for lunch. The Greenhouse is very easy to get to from the ships and is a good meeting place for a reasonably priced, comfortable lunch, not upscale, but a good place for a sandwich, etc. When you're done, should be no problem getting a cab back 'home' to the Sapphire. OR, if you get really brave, you might find you wind up renting a car!
