Oh, we head straight for the grocery store, as soon as we throw the bags in the unit. Unpacking waits much later!

Last few trips it has been "punch" at Dany's before going even to where we are staying but it is always changing. Usually it is drop off the bags and head for a bar, unpacking can be done at a later time or the next day. This next trip it will probably be a cab to Le Petit where we have a few extra nights before our normal stay begins, drop off the bags and well.....find a bar!
I prefer the Isle seat

We have stayed at numerous places over the 24 years we have been traveling to St. Maarten and our routine has changed some over the years. Back in the day, we would stop at Cheri's for a late lunch (we were friends with Chester who worked there) before heading to Sapphire to check in. We have stayed at the old Pelican, Sapphire, Royal Islander Club La Plage and La Terrasse, Atrium, La Vista, Rainbow Beach Club, Grand Case Beach Club, and numerous private rentals. Our routine now includes my grocery shopping while the wife unpacks. Upon my return, I make rum punches (recipe given upon request) which we enjoy while we take in the view from our balcony. Then on to dinner--restaurant is determined depending on how much energy we still have left. We were supposed to be on the island right now with over two weeks left of our vacation. Booked for next May and desperately hoping we make it.

Nice pic's. We have the SXM heat here in Ct. but, don't have cold beer poolside like at OBBR. We do have the heat here in Ct. for sure, but not the sxm breezes to cool it down either. Nothing like it!!

Check in and dump the luggage, run for happy hour at the beach bar, then take a swim!
