After over 20 times at Maho we decided to try something a little different,, got a great deal on a condo at Eleganzia in Pelican Key. Loved it,, nice change. Two pools at LaVista to use and a nice little beach to walk on.

We managed to hit some of our favourite spots and try some new ones.
Great little spot in Pelican call Bon Appetit, different entertainment most nights and good breakfast. Also had breakfast upstairs at Alexanders,, very simple but good.

Had our usual at Sopranos but some felt it wasn't up to what it used to be.
Went up for Harmony nights,,, couldn't get in at the Pirate place so went to Blue Martini.. probably had the worst meal we've ever had on the island.
Tried the Pizza Galley for the first time,,, great little spot.
Rancho was good as well,,, they always remember us. Food and entertainment was great.

Pineapple Petes was spot on as well,, good service and food.

Had a few breakfasts at the Sint Maarten Yacht Club,, what better place to eat and watch the yachts in the morning?

For beaches we went to our favourite Karakter,, we didn't get there till after 11 so chairs were hard to find. Went back later in the week at 10 and had no problems. Food and service were good as usual.
Went up to Gallion,, haven't been in years,,, pretty busy with the cruiseship and kids.. Had lunch and went to Orient.
Seems every time we make it up there the wind is blowing like crazy.. So just lounged for a couple hours and headed out.

For something different we tried Le Sand and loved it,,,
our server was not the best.. he brought us a bill for everything we ordered instead of just running a tab,,
Another group of friends had lunch and loved it,, great food.

Took my cousin's boat out for a trip up to Pinel.
Stopped for a swim at Tintemarre,, just amazing.
Karibuni was busy but we got our usual palapa and
good lunch.

Also went on an epic fishing trip on a friend's boat.
Sorry he doesn't charter and can't tell you where we went.
But we brought in 20 Mahi Mahi, 3 tuna and 2 nice Wahoo.

Have to say it was really great week,, no rain (but they could us it,, very dry). Traffic wasn't an issue.
Seems more and more restaurants with live entertainment..
