reveil martin first time TJTrippe 1 hour ago we had a standard routine f eating at Good Morning Cafe and somehow got the urge to see what the hoopla was about.

we lucked on a paking spot, place busy but were third in line and quickly seated

sign saying no credit or debit, not agreat plan for a business unless you got two ledgers

the host sat us and asked if wanted drinks we said two regular coffees

menu looks fantastic

15 minutes later takes our order and says those coffees will be right out

15 minutes later food arrives no coffees

skillet is pretty good

eggs benedict eggs not poaced enough create a muffin ham cheese hollandaise egg soup

coffees finally arrive but not by our server

skillet gets wolfed down

benedict soup gets dabbled with

another server comes to take akillet away and asked if we dont like the benedict we tell him eggs werent cooked. he takes skillet leaves benedict soup.

another person comes and refills coffee out of a pot. leaves benedict soup

we finally have to go up to pay our bill and 15% servce added

our last time eating benedict soup

French Police and Gendarmarie Presence TJTrippe 07/28/2026 12:27 PM looks like local police have cars, never seen one before, and now have seen several white marked driving around.

same with gendarmarie driving in small gray cars like patrolling neighborhoods as opposed to trucks. they did have one checkpoint sifting through traffic going both ways outside marigot to grand case. we had to come to a stop in our lane then waved through, others were pulled to either side of road. it didnt look like old breathylizer stops for people one way leaving orient

community policing?

bistrot caraibes charged us in dollars TJTrippe 07/27/2026 11:26 AM the food was great as always and were given our bill in Euros. we handed them our card and without asking we were charged in US dollars and the slip had a line for adding a tip. thats new after all these years.

there was a new male local waiter so must of been his decision.

i guess so many americans give everybody gifts they expect these treats now

Boardwalk Ollie1964 07/25/2026 12:11 PM Morning All,
Does anyone know what is going on in Phillipsburg on the boardwalk? They have had tents up for the last few days and very busy in the evening. Some of the tents look like they are serving food, don't know if they all are. Just wondering if it is a special event.

July 24 -day 8 fabila 07/25/2026 11:10 AM Today was a nice, low-key day. We stayed back at the villa this morning so we could pack for our late morning flight home tomorrow. Filled up the gas tank, then went to Zee Best to grab sandwiches to enjoy on the beach.

The water was absolutely perfect—clear, refreshing, and completely free of sargassum in front of Beachside Villas. Down by D’s Beach Bar, though, there was quite a bit, that remained in the water all day.

After so many wonderful meals out this trip, we decided to keep dinner simple and stay close to the villa. It was an early night before our travel day. A simple dinner at the [b]Driftwood Boat Bar[\b]. I had a hot dog, and David went with a Philly cheesesteak.

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for much better weather. It was not humid snd there was a steady breeze every day that kept it comfortable. The sun was strong most days, with only a couple of brief showers and one quick downpour that passed almost as fast as it arrived. Traffic was surprisingly light for us since we were usually traveling in the opposite direction of any backups.

It was another fantastic trip. We loved returning to so many of our favorite places while also discovering a few new ones that have definitely earned a spot on our must-visit list for future trips. Until next time, St. Maarten!
