First Day Here

First Day Here - 10/28/2019 12:41 PM

Good morning all, live from BSV in beautiful SXM. I haven't been on TTOL since Saturday morning, wow, there looks to be a lot of TTOL'ers here on SXM from the looks of all the posts.

My day started with a 2AM wake up on Sunday morning. Bradley Hartford CT to Atlanta to SXM. All couldn't have gone soother. Even the arrival, was smooth, nothing like what Fabila(Louise) and David encountered. Of course, Lesley was there with a car ready to go. He ALWAYS provides excellent service. I usually check in with him a day or 2 before leaving to confirm, but as I was on the plane down, I remembered I had forgotten. No worries, Lesley was there. Got my car and then waited for the rest of my group coming in on the Jet Blue flight from JFK. Lesley had their car too. Louise and David met us all at the airport to help with luggage and then off to BSV.

We all gathered up by the pool at BSV. Drinks, crackers and cheese were in order. BSV is looking just as beautiful as ever. It's so wonderful to be "home" again. I have been staying here since 1997, a couple of times a year with the exception of just after Lenny in 1999. I can never get enough of it.

Dinner for our group of 8 was at Skip Jacks. I'm sure Louise will be doing another trip report. I'll let her cover dinner. Slept much later than normal this morning, 7:30. I love waking up to the sunrises here at BSV. Missed it this morning, but we have 12 more mornings to do so.

Morning, as if we haven't said that to each other already! It was a great evening and yes BSV looks lush and it's as welcoming as ever. Another day up early, and yes Mike I just posted a few photos.

Leona - Are you still on island on the 16th? Ann Elliot and I are doing the half-day sail on No1SXM that day. I have an "event" about it posted on FB on Simply SXM's page.

Look forward to your Chippie instructions!
