Arrived last night, staying in a townhouse behind Kakao. The West Jet flight almost full, 3 empty seats, lucky us, the middle seat was empty. Dinner at Little Italy, food was OK. However the server and the bill both said TIP not included - didn't like that practice - will wait and see what the other Orient resto's say on their bills Walked the beach - the 8 new builds - hmmm - appears only Aloha and Sun Beach have propane hooked up and both were working before 8 fixing up. Aloha, most northerly [blue] has roofed over their deck and added a bar unit. Sun Beach - red - next door to the south - is using the sail as originally shown, but seems farther along inside, Further south Adam and Eve has roofed their deck and look close to opening Kontiki has pushed as far south as they can - maybe even too far Too bad as enough beach in front for lots of beach chairs Those concrete "stalls" beside the bath house - just for garbage More to come

Hi. If you want to email them to me, at the email address in my profile, I can try to get them posted. If you send them to me, please send as an attachment, not imbedded in the email, if possible.

Dinner at Little Italy, food was OK. However the server and the bill both said TIP not included - didn't like that practice - will wait and see what the other Orient resto's say on their bills You can be assured a 15% "service charge" (also known as a tip) was included in the menu prices. I find it best to never ask about this as I have only found one place on the French side that was ever honest about it. Thanks for the update and enjoy your trip!

Not to speak for Carol but not everyone is on facebook and the world does not revolve around facebook or any other social media site. Sadly, some people assume that everyone is on facebook.

As JD said, many people assume that everyone is on Facebook, which is not at all the case..

It's really pretty easy to post pictures now, so long as the picture is already on the net somewhere. OR!!! you can upload the picture to the TTOL St Martin photo gallery and then post the picture, using the IMAGE tag. Very easy..

All you have to do to post in the photo forum is to make it smaller, which is VERY easy to do, by emailing it to yourself. I think the size in Outlook is 'medium', and then upload to the photo forum.

Jamie said: I AM on FB and I can't find any of the groups with pix of the OB progress. Can someone please recommend some groups? Thanks! Most are "closed" groups and you have to be added by their administrators. Perhaps someone can private message you information.
