Most of our members I think are closer to their 50's and 60's and I would say that a large number are from the northeast..

I agree that folks from the Midwest especially have to pay more to get to SXM, but that really wasn't the question. Never really did a formal survey, but it seems to me that a lot of timeshare folks in particular are from the NE.

Started going to SXM via charters in the late '70's, .then Eastern, American and now Jet Blue direct from Boston. When we talk about moving we always say: "It has to be near an airport that gives direct, Non-stop flights to SXM." Haven't moved yet though. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

We're from the Philadelphia area, and I'm 39 (again). Actually it's 72 (ouch) and retired. My wife, Cleta (Rabby on here), is 60 and still working. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Just a guess but I'm thinking the majority of us are probably between 45 and 65, of course with variables on either end. We were fortunate enough to discover SXM when we were in our late 20's so we've been luckier than most in that we've had 43 years worth of annual trips so far and still hoping for many more.
The northeast does offer a lot of nonstop flights so it would make sense a great number of regular visitors are from this particular corridor. But that said, there are a lot of Canadians who visit as well. And a lot of mid-westerners, too, but I think the northeast from New Hampshire down to the mid-Atlantic states probably are the majority because of nonstop flights and generally better pricing.
Personally, I think we're a pretty mixed bag both in ages and locations and the only real common denominator is our mutual enjoyment of this one special island. That's my story and I'm stickin' with it!!
Respectfully,
pat

We are both in our early 60's & hail from the Great State of Texas!!! 12 years of SXM trips - we are not time-share people.
Gotta Caribbean soul I can barely control and some Texas hidden here in my heart...(J.B.)

Mid-50s and mid-40s from west coast of Canada. Relative new-comers to St Martin after trying Mexico, Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Our first trip was 2011. We are probably the only ones who think the investment by the Chinese might be a good thing -- Maybe it would result in a direct flight from Vancouver <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
