if you dont want to read the whole thing i will sum it up right now...perfect as always but with one blip
flight on the 2nd was delayed due to weather over the atlantic, took a route down the coast and banged a left and smooth going. we ran into a friend later that day who took jetblue out of logan and they flew through the weather and said it was like driving in boston in february.
checked into divi, given keys...wait, no buzzer? the room was ready. That NEVER happens! spent the rest of the say at divi. grounds looked good and caught up with our friends that work there. Perfect day!
Day 2... woke up, went for a walk, came back and oh no...my kindle is gone and so is my kids tablet! who would think both doors on the slider open, i only locked the right side and the left side was unlocked. Went to report it and then off to Le Croisanterie for Bfast not letting a little lost technology ruin my trip, great as always then off to Le galion to enjoy the beach and catch up with Pat and the crew. Funny thing happened, ran into a friend and turns out they were having a BBQ further down the beach so perfect got to see them too.
Back to Divi and out to dinner. To be honest i really dont know where we went. must have been good or i would remember.
Day 3... went to to po po station to file a report, good god that took forever, all for something i wont see again. Wont do that again. Went back to divi an hung out for the day. wasted way too much time at the station. went to dinner at karakter. Wifes was good, they over cooked my mahi. All together decent though
day 4...then off to Le Galion again, veronique was making my pepercorn sauce for the ribeye! great day at the beach and of course drank, i think i forgot to add that to day 1, 2 and 3, just assume going forward that drinking was a daily event.
Ocean 82 for dinner, awesome as usual. Got done just in time for the harmony night parade.
Day 3...went to pinel today. Hot as usual but was a great time. the water was perfect. Man does that place set you back a few bucks though. Back to divi. Went to dinner at Le Escargot which was very good. He is definetly trying to sell it. All but offered it to us. Sad, it is a landmark, hope someone buys it and keeps it just the way it is!
Ok, brains is hurting and eyes burning from all this computer looking and trying to remember what exactly we did on what days. I will finish later!

Dan,
Are you still here or home? I am so sorry to hear about your personal belongings being stolen - that is a heartbreaker. Many years ago my SIL had a gold chain that I had given him for Christmas stolen and one of the girls - a fifty dollar bill. This happened at the original Mullet Resort and the thing is, the room was all locked up but they had to bring o/s service people in to fix our ac and I can only think that was the connection. In all our years before and since we have NEVER lost as much as a dime that way.
But it sounds as though the rest of the trip was good in all ways and happy to hear that and I'm eagerly anticipating 'the rest of the story....'<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,
pat

Thanks for the report. Ashame about your laptop. What is the status of Pat's. Heard they were tearing down/cleaning up old resort there?
Next SXM visit -November 2023. Also January 2024.
