Even though I am a world class procrastinator, I bet Therese that I would get my trip report done before her, so here it is:

*Enjoyed a bunch of beaches - Baie Rouge, Cupecoy, Dawn, Mullet, Orient and others.
*DID NOT GET SUNBURN!!!
*Had great dining experiences at old and new places including Banana's, Buccaneer Beach Bar, Lido's, Mark's Place, Pineapple Pete's, SkipJack's and Sunset Beach Bar.
*Went to two TTOL parties, met great people and had a great time.
*Met many close personal SXM friends.
*Drank a few beers. Few being a relative term based on Heineken's yearly output.
*Had a great car rental experience, best ever actually, from Muhamed at Panoramic.
*Stayed at Pelican and thoroughly enjoyed it.
*On the return flight the realization that I am now officially retired and did not need to go to work on Monday finally sunk in. The Maraschino Cherry topping off a fantastic SXM sundae.

Therese's longer report will follow after I collect on my bet. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Blush.gif" alt="" />
