Well, perhaps, but offering 1/4 of the amount they are saying it will cost to rebuild, to me is not even a legitimate offer.

Fully operational THIS October?? Or October 2019? Regardless, what he said to you cannot be true. Otherwise the airport would not be suing Nagico.

Would not like to get into the details of the Airport situation but hoping for the best with the court judgement . But the fearful part would be appeals which will make us suffer big time. I'm hoping at least that the roof can be done properly and thereafter internally we can make do with what ever. No need to rush for lavishness. We just need shelter , luggage transfer on belts and some computers. You are correct Lesley. Sad state of affairs if this continues to drag out.

Lesley,
Between the article about the impending hurricane season and this, it seems the only island news today has been less than wonderful. I surely hope things get back on track for the island and the people we love.
Respectfully,

I too hope so, but after this hurricane, and repairs that will take years, not sure we can expect such great news. People need to know the truth, and the truth is!!! Lots can not go back because of damage, and you happen to be one of them... So we have to admitt to ourselves this will take a long time. Not sure what good news your looking for, but you too could not get back... some have come back because they are able to find a place to stay, and who care little about comforts, thats not all. It is what it is... I too have not been back, Some of us want the comforts we knew, they are gone..

"Some of us want the comforts we knew, they are gone.." Incorrect. We are leaving soon for a stay on the island and where we stay has been repaired and looks just as lovely as before the hurricane. Your constant gloom and doom comments are often incorrect and are definitely not what the island needs.

Our villa rental was in great shape and already put our deposit down for next May knowing our Flamingo time share will still be under reconstuction.

I just returned as well and had everything I needed. It was MORE comfort than usual, as last time at our timeshare the a/c went out and it was a MISERABLE night! Had no power outages, and only one water outage due to someone not turning it back on after doing some work. It was fixed within two hours. No complaints whatsoever from us. And I am, as they say, a creature of comfort! Us Kittens like our litter-boxes a certain way...lol

I will let you know personally Lesley, wife just said that we are headed over to the Dingy Dock. Here shortly. Showers and all sir. Absolutely Lesley, I understand with great importance, this not a joke. We will see where this leads. No rumors, but someone is talking to the media, for what advantage not sure, the information is flowing from somewhere. I do find it very interesting even what I have read and people speaking to us that the stories are so conflicting, so strange.

I was not ready to return back to SXM for 9 months but it is time for me to return. The repairs are finished and I need to decorate. Most anxiety is from not being there. The airport is the least of my worries as long as I can arrive and depart. So fork Irma and shake off the dust and get back on your bicycle.

Great way of looking at it, Wendy!
We returned very early after Luis and emotionally, I didn’t feel I could do it twice but I’m realizing more and more we should have done so rather than waiting and dealing with all the negativity.
‘Gonna get my bike out and make sure it’s road-ready and hopefully the time will pass quickly......
