Elizabeth,
I do love my aerie at the Towers and nothing I've enjoyed so far has all that it has to have caused ME to love it for so long. But at the same time, we do and have long enjoyed other areas in this general part of the Caribbean, be they on island or at many of the near islands as well. The only negative I can find about BSV is the sounds of the surf can become positively mind deadening and totally addicting to the point you don't want to move or do anything that will cause you to break the trance.
Terry,
We are in villa #14' right next to the pool, should be choose to venture that far. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
The seaweed is still coming in and one of the staff is out raking and bagging as we speak.
The sand cliffs are, if anything, only growing larger with the occasional path down to the water's edge.
Carol,
It was nice to meet Bob/Craig and his appointment times - 10:59 pick up and 9:01 drop off - crack me up. We've spent some time with Marv when she came down to unlock our safe (which I think we inadvertently locked by mistake in the first place.....) and we met and spoke with Sharon, our maid, who explained the inner workings of the TV here and what the purpose of each of the three different remotes was all about. Who knew we'd need all three? And how great the maids come in and do their thing so early?!
And to all, I really am loving it here and will only be sorry our stay won't be longer this year but in honesty, I think if we were to stay any longer in this wonderful paradise called St. Maarten, our brains would totally turn to mushroom soup!! But then, there's always future years and trips to look forward to, and I truly do 'get' why all who stay speak so glowingly of this property. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
