On AA on 12/21, they had the immigration forms, so we filled them out and the Immigration ladies took them.
Glad you arrived OK. Enjoy your trip!

That is too funny about the forms. Nov 29 on JB for us and no forms, along with the other JB poster, USAir now a part of AA and no forms but AA still had them and they were collected? Only in SXM, right?! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, who knows what goes on, but it's not a big deal, filling them out, one way or another.

Agree - no big deal but funny when you think about it. All those years we worried about not losing the tab they used to give you back only to find out they weren't such a big deal. And now the whole form is used now and then sometimes maybe if they have them or not? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I ALWAYS seemed to lose that little tab and I don't remember them ever collecting it! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

if Seinfeld comes back maybe he will do a show on the forms. George and Kramer can explain the new simpler rules (kinda)- form us now varies by nationality, day of arrival, and airline.

Lately it seems the collection of those receipt stubs has been pretty much hit and miss, much like the issuance of the SXM immigration forms themselves. WE!!

Etna at most grocery stores (as you would expect), and a list of restaurants here: http://www.etnaicecream.comMy guess is CI equates to customs and immigration? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

JimandBeth said: Can anyone explain to me why people with connecting flights have to clear security again after passing through immigration and customs? We cleared security once in St. Maarten for the first flight. I just never understood. >>> because of the way US airports are set up and the failure to comprehend the concept of international transfers that Europe seems to manage fine. Once clearing customs you can mingle with people have not been through security so you have to go back through. If more thoguht was given to the issue it could eb dealt with fairly easily. I imagine international arrivals are a smaller portion of travellers compared to domestic

..weather is absolutely perfect
..check out the Yacht Club side of the drawbridge around 6-630pm. Absolutely filled with huge tarpon chasing bait fish right out of the water...I saw a guy hook one but after at least 20-30 minutes of getting it near shore and it reel screaming it's way back out the beast finally broke the line with an air flip...cool
..spent Friday at Happy Bay (again) this time with around 15 cows resting RIGHT behind us. Not many humans there despite the fine weather
...and...I read a lot of good things here about Etna ice cream...Where can I get some??? CI, customs and immigration.
