1990. A friend gave us her timeshare week at Pelican for President's week that year. We had never heard of SXM until then. We just knew it was warm. Back then you could switch airline tickets to other names at no charge, so we had her tickets and off we went. We decided to listen to a timeshare promo inexchange for a snorkel trip. Bought two winter weeks at Pelican and have been coming here two to three times a year ever since.
