I know Internet is the best but did you consider renting an island cell phone? You would be able to call home inexpensively and you would have your number before you leave home so in an emergency the kids could easily contact you at anytime. We rent from the Sharon, the Queen of SXM and while I never thought I needed a phone, it does come in handy. She even has an arrangement with some of the car rental agencies (if you're renting one....) whereby for a very minimal fee they will provide your phone with your car. If you go this route, depending on your at home calling plan, calls TO THE ISLAND can be very expensive but from SXM home they are very inexpensive. Just one more option for you if you haven't already considered it.
