We had already booked our trip for next November/December. At a loss to think of what to do next, but Saint Martin will always be in my heart and with memories of my wife.

My husband and I had vacationed in SXM about 25 times before he passed a few years ago. I am sure SXM holds many wonderful memories for you. Hold those in your heart and take some comfort from them at this sad time.
