Yeah we're back. Checked in at The Belair. Been here for less than six hours and we're on island mode already. What a great resort. Can't wait to explore the island again. Pictures and reports to come.

Mitch,
Glad you safely arrived and are enjoying the Belair. That waterfront view is lovely and I know you’ll have a great time. I hope all your preplanning worked out for you.
This is a good chance for you to try some of those Philipsburg restaurants that survived the storms and have reopened for business needing all the support they can gather. I don’t know the status of Antoine’s on Front Street these days and if you were thinking of going, I think I’d call and make sure they will have valet parking, and I do know Jean Pierre owns a lunch spot on Old Street and I also know some of the other places, Chesterfields immediately comes to mind, have reopened by now as well.
Happy Anniversary and best wishes for many, many more. 😊😊
Respectfully,
pat

Have a great trip. Hopefully all of the storms have passed the region during your stay. I saw some rain on the cams so the Island should be greening up nicely for you.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

As of June, Antoine's was open, valet in the evening only. Not sure if they are on vacation now or not.

We've had a wonderful day. Did a quick trip around the island. Stopped at Bruno's for a cold one and then stocked up at Super U. Wow everybody must shop after church. Busy but a fun experience seeing all the ladies in they're Sunday best, everyone say h hi to each other. Then back to the Belair for some awesome beach time. Fresh salmon for dinner.

Sorry, not to be obtuse, but which Bruno's are you referring to? Are you referring to Bruno from Dreams? As far as I know, he doesn't have any restaurants open.
Beautiful pic! Thanks!

Bruno's is a restaurant in Marigot right across the street from waterfront.

Oh, ok!! It's actually called something else, but I know what you're referring to now. Sorry.

It's right across the street from the Marigot Market . Below is a link to a picture of their front. Really just a little hole in the wall like so many places on the island. Bruno's Place

In the past we had liked stopping at Arawak but it's not reopened yet. So we saw Bruno's and stopped in.

Arawak has been open for a long time. If it's closed, it's vacation time.
