Arrived into AUA on Insel Air from SXM as this was a dual island trip for us this year. We haven't been to AUA since 2002 so was expecting big changes. We love SXM but wanted to see how things were in AUA and we were very pleased with our trip there. I personally enjoyed this trip more than the last one we made here and it will not take us 10 years to return.

Just some quick observations and highlights...

Rented a car for 2 days from Economy with no issues at all. Roads are SO much better than in SXM

Marriott Ocean Club looks GREAT and the updates are very nice.

Still very windy and that was the only downer to the weather even though more showers than I remember from our 2 previous trips...it was still great weather compared to home.

Food was better than I remember. We enjoyed meals at Aqua Grill, Bugaboe, Chalet Suisse (My personal favorite) and Wacky Wahoo. Fishes and More was pretty good as well.

Alcohol was the big shocker after spending so many vacations on SXM. Expensive to drink in comparison even buying in the stores and mixing your own.

Did a snorkel trip with Albert aboard the Black Pearl/Blue Melody. Great day and trip and snorkeling was very good and saw way more than I ever have in SXM.

All in all a great trip and we will be back. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
