Does anyone see a chiropractor in SXM? lcote 2 hours ago I see a chiropractor weekly at home. It makes a big difference in my back. Last year, two weeks was a bit long to go without seeing a chiropractor. I'm wondering if I might be able to see one when I am there in December.

Le Taitu, Nice, and oysters cruzer 5 hours ago Just wondering if the new owners have reopened these restaurants. Have they and what do they serve? I can't seem to find anything doing a search. Also, we did a trip to France this past summer, spending around 10 days in the Bordeaux region and I was blown away by their oysters. So, any place on the French side that serves oysters? My only other experience is Gulf of Mexico oysters, which are great charbroiled, but I don't think I've done them with just lemon juice. Ideally, they are flown in that day, perhaps in the front cabin with the Bouchot mussels??

Only 11 more days.

Fly the Friendly Skies of AA ggffrr11 Yesterday at 11:23 AM This past weekend, AA cut/merged several flights (and made time changes) to and from EIS and STT for next February (2027).

You might want to check your flights.

My wife and I were moved to separate rows on one flight segment (maybe to her delight). I was able to resolve this on the website.

What concerns me the most is the AA.com > log in > my flights > options box. In the past, I've always seen two options: "change flights or cancel". Now, there has only been one box option: "Cancel", No "Change flight" option (or at least not over the past several days). This probably could be remedied with the ole "1-800" phone call. But, the seat available charts are filling up even mid week when we are traveling. Also, to cancel and reschedule is showing airfares 2-2.5x what I paid for them 3-4 months ago.

With four months left till the trip > I wouldn't be surprised if more changes are made.

Mosquito repellent and vaccination? calle313 10/04/2026 10:49 AM Hi!

Reading about that mosquitos are active throughout the Caribbean, it´s commonly recommended that you bring a repellent containing DEET when visiting St. Martin. As I understand, the mosquitos are most active at dusk and dawn. When checking out a 40% DEET repellent sold in Sweden, you should only apply it once a day, and the effect lasts about 8 hours. It seems to be quite potent, and care should made to follow the instructions on how to use it.

How big a risk are the mosquitos in your opinion, is there a risk for Degue and Zika virus? What repellent do you use, where and when do apply it? We are getting hepatitis A + B vaccinations, in Sweden it´s recommended to have at least the hepatitis A vaccination before travelling to the Caribbean. It is also recommended to check if you have the vaccinations for Tetanus and Diphtheria updated .

Is there anything else we need to know, any good tips or recommendations from you guys that have been on the island?

//Cheers!

Cruise Ships Canuck54 10/03/2026 03:07 AM Looking ahead to the cruise ship schedule for December, January and February, if I’m not mistaken there seems to be a lot more than in the past several years. Not sure what that will mean for traffic on the island but sure looks like a busy year for the local businesses.
