Trip Report 4/19-4/29

Arrived 4/19 for a 10 day stay. Met by Donicio (Fortuno car rental) at the airport – signed the papers and off to the Sapphire Beach Club to check in.. Then back to the Fresh Market in Maho for supplies (beer, wine, vodka, and o yea, some food).

High lights!!!

Cupecoy beach – no sand Weds thru Sat. (when it rained and we went shopping on Pburg.) But lo and behold on Sunday (when it rained again) – when we got to the beach, John (umbrella, chair, and drink man) said “ look what the storm brought in”. Sand, and plenty of it. The whole area of beach beneath the stairs section washed around the corner to the main area and covered the entire front area (including the little wading pool). It’s great – lots more room for chairs and people. Plus it makes access to the water much easier.

The day at Happy Bay (with Ben and Katy aka Happybay50). A long walk, but worth it.

Thursday night’s pub crawl on the Celine and getting the opportunity to meet Dave and Nancy (from Toronto) and the four wild ladies on vacation from husbands, kids, and chores from Pa. They made the crawl fun and a night to remember.

Days at Baie Rouge and lunch at Gus’ Beach Bar… Also seeing Lidia again ( a fixture at Gus’)

Food:

Lobster Thermidor at Pineapple Pete’s. To die for..
Steak at Peg leg Pub (always good)
The Tuna dish at Halsey’s and dinner in general at Uncle Harry’s
Also had a pretty good meal at the little Italian place behind Cheri’s (Pizza Pasta I think)

The TTOL party at Buccaneer Beach Bar (thanks to Sandy for a great job on putting together the party.) Was a great opportunity to meet some of the great people who support and contribute to this forum. (esp. Vicki from the Bronx and Pete and Ann)

Low lites.

Rain on Sunday and not being able to take the Tiko Tiko cruise around the Island.
Sitting in the rain all afternoon (with Bob & Sue) waiting for the sun to come out…
(actually, we had a pretty good time laughing at ourselves for sitting in the rain).
Having to leave….

Guess we’ll just have to go back!!!!
