Our very favorite would be our first trip to the island. May, 1985...stayed at Mullet Bay Resort. Rented a car and toured the whole island. The charm of Marigot and Grand Case. Discovered Orient with a baguette and some Laughing Cow cheese. It was undeveloped at that time and very beautiful. Some hustle bustle on Front Street. Ate at the Rusty Pelican..the future location of the Greenhouse. But the most memorable part was the day we were leaving...sitting at the outdoor bar, drinking a Pina Colada and realizing We couldn’t wait to come back! We had been to a number of lovely places..Maui, Kauai and Oahu had been favorites.
The next time we returned we brought our sons and bought pre construction timeshare at Royal Islander Club which we still own. We have never missed a year on the island since. Subsequently bought a condo at Simpson Bay Yacht Club. After 10 years, we sold that and bought a condo at Rainbow Beach Club which we still own. We spent 7 months of the covid lockdown there..a truly wonderful 7 months! Actually, one of our sons and his family are there enjoying it with his family this week.
Long story short...sipping that Pina Colada at Mullet.. and knowing we were hooked...seems like yesterday!
