Short trip - 5 nights.

This was our first stay on SXM since 1987.

Biggest surprise - how much Phillipsburg has changed. It does not feel much bigger overall, but the character of Front Street and the water area feels completely different.

Biggest disappointment - SSBB.

Had supper every night in Grand Case, as we stayed there. More later, but I really liked La California.

Went to Orient, Cupecoy and Rouge beaches.

Bought a diamond ring at DK. Funny, but a guy with a TTOL t-shirt walked into the store while we were there.

Checked out our Villa that is rented for another trip. All in all, a very good trip.
