Our first full day at BSV where we decided to take full advantage of being on the beach steps from our unit.

We took a quick ride to Maho Express for a cup of coffee, hot breakfast bar, newspaper and Johnny Cake for me. They had several versions which were not appealing to me at that hour so I went for the chicken. The Johnny cake itself was very good. I picked the chix out.

I really like the JC's at Greenhouse but they don't always have them on our visits. A staff person told us if they are busy there is no room in kitchen to make them.

Since we've never eaten at Hilma's I mentioned to David it's time for me to have the real thing. It's on my "to do" or should I say "to eat" this trip.

There was a mix of clouds & sun with a strong cooling breeze mid afternoon. We had a lovely day laying out on lounge chairs reading and swimming in ocean a few times before joining the group pool side.

Very nice dinner with great group of people from BSV to help celebrate one of their wedding anniversary's at La Rosa Too.

I had the grouper filet in garlic butter sauce and David had fettuccine Alfredo. Service charge added to each check. Comfortable seating and attentive service.

Grouper fillet

Looks yummy. Has the KLM Airbus A330 been coming to SXM that you have noticed?

Didn't notice but will ask our pilot friends who are here

Louise--glad you have been able to enjoy the ocean there at BSV so far. How's the sand looking?

Nice amount of sand Carol in front of all units

Delicious looking pic. Thanks for the report.

Great! You had not had good luck at BSV lately. Is it full there?

Yes and last year we had a good beachfront. This photo was taken moments ago in front of our Villa

Lovely pictures. Thanks for the reports, and have a wonderful vacation!

So sorry we will miss seeing you and David again this year.It was going to happen this trip but unfortunately that did not happen. Enjoy the remainder of your trip and hope things will work out next year.

Glad you enjoyed LaRosa's!, our favorite place.
