I hope I already mentioned these things in the course of my daily notes, but in the event I didn't, I'd like to offer the following thanks and Kudos to the people and businesses that contributed to making this latest trip such a really lovely one.

First of all - thanks to Lesley Bruce of Kenny's Car Rentals. He met us at the airport in the midst of a horrendous downpour and got us in our car and on our way in no time flat. He had at least five arrivals on our flight that I was aware of (and probably more that I wasn't aware of, too.....) and we were number three out of there and in less than ten minutes. Don't know how he does it and does it so graciously even when he himself was soaked to the skin and surely couldn't have been feeling the love, as nasty as that arrival time was.

Next, thanks to Jeannie of Shopndrop SXM. For the first time ever we had the most minor of flaws - not with Jeannie or her people - but with the people she works with at Serafinas. And to tell you just how minor, we ordered Serafina's chocolate almond croissants and they delivered the wrong thing. And it wasn't a big deal in the first place since anything from there is outrageously delicious, but to Jeannie it was a big deal and she went way out of her way to make it perfect. She is absolutely the best. Her job is arduous and physically very demanding, and yet she always makes that extra push for perfection for her people.

And Sharon Harris - the Queen, at least of telephone rental services, and I have to say, we don't even rent phones from her as a rule since I usually have an island phone all set up and at my disposal. But being the techie wizard that I am, Sharon has helped me out more times than I want to admit to when problems arose that I didn't know how to handle. She just goes miles out of her way and all the time. I don't think you could find a better service than she provides?

And lastly, our staff at the Towers and the staff at Beachside Villas. They all move mountains to make sure things are as perfect as can be within their individual capabilities. From our aerie high up at the Towers to the unit with the great plane watching location at BSV and yet, short footsteps away from the pool deck, we couldn't have asked for more in either place.

My most sincere thanks to each and every one of you for helping to make this trip perfection in every way. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Pat- even though we've never met, I feel like you are a close friend. Your friendly spirit and kind words go a long way to help those of us who have months to go before we're at our beloved island again.
