April 2004 Trip Report
This is approximately my 25 trip since 1983, so it may be very mundane, but here goes!
DATES: April 17 – April 30
AIRLINE: American, 667 down 826 back, out of JFK, non-stop great flights, love that 4:18 departure!!
CAR: Kenny’s, no problems, typical white Corolla!
CELL: Brought old Nokia and had Cellular One set it up - no problems
ACCOMODATIONS: Towers at Mullet Bay, rooms 609 first week and 803 second, hated moving. Couldn’t really get settled in. But that was our choosing by coming down a week early this year (yup, one of the draw backs to fixed week timeshares!!)
WHO: Myself, husband, daughter age 11 and son age 4. Plus parents, family friends, and another couple joined us for 4 nights.
BEACHES: Mullet, Friars, and Orient
ATE AT: Peg Leg - lunch and dinner Bananas – dinner Citrus Market – take out lunch Turtle Pier – breakfast and lunch Boathouse – dinner Paris Bistro – dinner Cheri’s – dinner (I will admit it was fun, just don’t sit up front!!! Way to loud!) Antoine’s – dinner La Gondola – dinner Mario’s Bistro – dinner – my favorite Lees – dinner Bikini Beach – lunch Rosie’s on Mullet – lunch several times, always quick and easy and tasty!!! SSBB – drinks Cliffhanger – drinks and a beautiful sunset Brought ribs back from lolo outside of Lido, great meal, I had already made up some salads Had Dominos delivered once, for the kids, and grought back KFC once because it was getting late and no one could make a decision!!!
Only went to the Casino twice, was probably up $300.00 for the trip
Private sail on Random Wind was a blast! Would definitely do it again if I had enough people!
Husband signed up for the St. Maarten Open, the charity golf tournament, for $160.00 for 3 rounds, a gift bag, cocktail party, silent auction and lunches, it was a lot of fun and would definitely do it again. The course is brown, but they tried to keep it watered, not much rain while we were down. It’s in its best shape, in ages, but still not close to being what it was. He played a total of 5 times and enjoyed it. Will definitely bring the clubs next year. I enjoyed it too, lots of time hanging out reading at the pool with the kids.
Traffic was awful, especially morning and late afternoon
Tried A&C coconut ice cream and Etna, enjoyed both, but A&C wins in the coconut ice cream contest! also went to Scoops and Haagen Daz.
Great trip, already thinking about my fall getaway weekend!!!
