Our trip report April 18-24<br><br>Friday Morning April 18: left for Jfk 7:30 AM for our (11:10 flight to SXM. Arrival at 3:04 PM). Some one forgot to tell AA Airlines Flight did not leave until 1:30 PM landed in SXM at 5:30 PM two hours and 20 min. late. Ok not that bad. One little problem checked in three bags only two made it to SXM. AA Airlines sent number three to Bermuda. Did not see it until Sunday do not know if it had a good time in Bermuda or not. I was glad it was my bag and not Kathy’s. Lesley’s brother in law from Kenny car rental was there to meet us, handed us our keys, and had to thank him for waiting for us then we were off to Cap Caraibes. Checked in and had a late dinner at Le Fish Bar.[Linked Image][Linked Image]<br><br>[Linked Image][Linked Image][Linked Image]<br>Saturday April 19: Up early to stake out our chairs at Waikiki. Sand Gravity set in until about 12:30 Then off to Baywatch for lunch. Met Contessa and Jane and a couple of other TTOLERS there. Back to Waikiki until dinnertime. Went to Grand Case, parked on the street around the corner from Spiga since this is where we decided to have dinner. Both had fish. Dinner was ok. When we went back to our car found it had been vandalized passenger mirror was broken and front fender kicked several times. Found out later this area has had problems whit cars parked in front of local’s houses. A lesson I found out the hard way will go back to using the parking lots. ($280 .00 in damage to the rental car which we were held responsible for)[Linked Image][Linked Image][Linked Image]<br><br>Easter Sunday April 20: Back to our chairs at Waikiki.
