Winding up 3 week stay on Tuesday We had a mildly irritating start in charlotte. Due to a leg injury my wife needed a wheelchair which was prompt but check in is at a special desk Agent kept insisting I show him my SXM QR code on my phone.???? Finally had to tell him i would do it at Sint Maarten even though i had completed the form on line a week earlier Must have had his islands mixed up. Sargassum was heavy at Grand case beach club but they got it cleaned up in about four or five days. Orient beach was hit or miss some days heavy some not. Did drive over to pinel ferry just to see What a mess! Best meal was Chicken lasagna at Oasis Worst meal was at Bistro Caribes which is always excellent.. i just ordered the wrong thing Everybody elses was great. Waved at moderator Carol at BSV as we went by on a motorboat But nobody waved back LOL. Never seen low season this slow in twenty years. 10 to 15 people on wai and Kontiki beaches each day Restaurants not crowded anywhere. Weather a little hazy but still plenty of sun with a great breeze every day. Last half of stay at Orient Beach Hotel probably about a third occupancy if u know Florence at OBH Monday is her last day. A great person! Phillipsburgh was not hot and that is a news flash not a busy cruise ship time Went to Divi and walked around because in twenty years we had never beenn they were not busy either !only other thing of note is that we always take AA flight 2478 from CLT to SXM coming and going and this trip the license plate on our rental car was 2478 Kinda cool... maybe?!?! Perfect trip for us as we just go with the flow BISH PS I do not write very good trip reports!!!!
