Global Entry vs. Mobile Passport
jazzgal
9 hours ago
Curious as to your preferences between the two. I have read the comparison chart of the two programs at this LINK. MPC being free is appealing as are shorter lines than Global Entry. I'm wondering how much of a hassle those of you who use MPC experience in having to take your picture before getting off the plane. Is it as simple as it sounds or does it conflict with other required activities in getting ready to disembark.
Opinions welcomed please.

So, we are back from our cruise. First time on a cruise in several years. Great time, but the best day was SXM for sure. Very lazy this week, will try to post something in the cruise forum later.
Need to do some reading here to find out what's going on in SXM!!

Blue Mall Cupecoy Area

Not sure if anyone has reservations at the Blue Mall, you may want to rebook elsewhere or ask for a discount. They’re doing construction right now and it’s pretty noisy.
Just an FYI for anyone who may not care for the noise.

Vesna Taverna name changing

"❤️ A Special Announcement from Our Family ❤️
We are excited to share that Vesna Taverna will soon become Kimberly’s Island Cuisine. While our name is changing, everything you love about us will stay exactly the same — the food, the team, the atmosphere, and the heart behind every dish.
This change is deeply personal to our family. Our restaurant is owned by Kimberly’s mom and her two brothers, and we wanted a way to keep our late daughter and sister, Kimberly, close and part of what we build every day. Even though she is no longer with us, her spirit, kindness, and love will live on through the name and energy of our restaurant.
Thank you for your continued support, your loyalty, and for being part of our extended family. We can’t wait to welcome you to Kimberly’s Island Cuisine. 💙🌴"

Trip Report Day 4

Day 4
We decided to head over to Mullet for the day. I forgot to mention it before but I was pleased to see the speed bumps between Hope Estates and Grand Case have been removed. They never did anything to slow people down as they were pretty short. More of a nuisance that anything.
We drove through Marigot, Sandy Ground, Terres Basses and Cupecoy. It was so nice to see Marigot busy. The vendor village was full and there was plenty of remodeling on some hotel whose name/history I know nothing.
I simply love driving around this island. When there is no traffic, it makes me happy. It's got so much charm and diversity. Someday, we'll stay for an extended period...
I may have misunderstood someone posting that work was being done on the road through the golf course near Mullet. There was no sign of any coming from the Cupecoy side.
We got a couple front row seats at Rosie’s for $30. I love this beach. Deep and crystal clear. It was calm and very pleasant. There were lots of families enjoying the water and each other. At one point there were about 6 boats anchored in the bay. None of them were blasting music or being idiots. One catamaran had several Seabob out in the water. My wife and I have spoken a number of times about the lack of these on this island. We've rented them in Aruba and thought they were just fantastic. It would be a good business renting them out. If you aren't familiar, they are James Bond type of personal propulsion. You kind of put it under you and control the speed that you move along. You can dive deep or stay on top of the water. Pretty neat.
For lunch, my wife had a cheeseburger and fries and I had ribs, rice and salad. Both were good. We had coconut mojito’s to wash them down which were better.
It is curious that being around so long, Rosie’s hasn’t developed a more efficient order system. Many people (several extremely rude) were scrambling around not knowing where to order. I got drinks from the bar side while my wife patiently waited aside the crush of people trying to bark orders at Rosie. She looked at my wife and told her to come around the side where she took our food order.
Our food came out in a timely fashion. Rosie gave me our order and the bill and as I was trying to hand her payment she was pulled away. It was 5 minutes before she got back to me. No biggie, it just seemed like some sort of system would make it easier on her. God Bless her as she doesn’t get around easily.
We hung out until 3:30 or so and made our way back. We stopped at Super U to pick up some salad fixings and I grabbed some pork chops. No pharmacie visit today.
We were too tired to make said pork chops and just had a salad and leftovers. Flipped some channels and went to bed early. We want to be on the road early tomorrow to be sure we aren’t late for our excursion on the Enigma. We hit tons of traffic last year and it took over an hour to get to the dock behind Nowhere Special. They almost left without us. I suspect it will be light, if any, as it is Saturday but we don’t like to be “those” people.
