12/2 - 12/16. Drinks, lunch or dinner would be great. We always stay on the French side, but we're flexible. Would someone want to suggest a place and time? It would be nice to meet & greet other TTOL'ers.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

We will be spending our 1st week @ Club Fantastico & our 2nd week in Oyster Pond. As I said we're flexible and will have a car. Porto Cupecoy or Emilio's are 2 places for suggestions. In 22 trips I've only had dinner at one place in Simpson Bay - Bavaria. Mostly Orient Village, Grand Case. Marigot. It will be our 1st Dec. visit, so most people will be new to us and it's always fun to put a live face to these posts.

We will be there 12/2 - 12/16. 1st week in Orient Village. 2nd week in Oyster Pond. Have car, will travel. Cupecoy is a nice central location. Drinks, dinner, lunch - any would be good. This will be our 1st Dec. visit, 23rd overall. Also 1st visit in 3 years. Anxious.

I won't be there regardless, but it's been my experience that the best places and times for people to get together is around happy hour, so my suggestion is that you need to pick someplace that is also a 'bar' rather than purely a restaurant, so it will be open sooner. What time does Bar Code open? Never been there myself, but it seems like it might be a good choice.

The Greenhouse was always a great spot. I just suggested Bar Code as some people wanted something in Cupecoy area..

Correction made. Some people have to much time on their hands. Lol Thanks. No, just don't rely on auto correct. Read what you post AFTER you post it.

We've never been to Bar Code, but have enjoyed Ernest & Fidel. Either sounds good. Elaine lives in Cupecoy. If she's following this thread, perhaps she could express her preference (and join in).

Others have also had positive reviews of Bar Code. Since we always enjoy new (for us) places, I'd love to try it. And Cupecoy is a good central location. If we could settle on a location, then date, time and # who would attend. As I've said Dec. is a new month for us to visit (usually July or/and Nov.) so we'd really like to meet some new people.

Biturbo----Just suggest a date and a time and a place. Unfortunately there is never going to be a date, time and place that is good for everyone, but I'd suggest NOT on the weekend and around 5 or 6, so people can come by for just a drink or stay for dinner.

Looking at the dates everyone is here, I propose either Monday, December 3, which is the day after several of you arrive, or Wednesday, December 5, which is the day before I leave. If we wanted Tuesday, December 4, we'd need to go to Ernest and Fidel. And I actually think 4 pm or 5 pm would be best. What say you all?

This is funny - I usually refer to my wife as the social director. Therefore - Monday the 3rd would be great. It will be the day we get some groceries in the morning, maybe a little beach time after lunch If we meet at 4, have some drinks, and then a casual dinner, it would round out a nice day. Bar Code it is? And thanks, Carol, for your input.

We will be on island from November 27 until December 9. Would love to meet up and the 3rd would work fine for us.
Edited to add: we will be staying at Beachside Villas and will have a car, so just about anywhere is good.
