Hello folks TOWZERONE 3 hours ago My wife and I will be coming down to Marigot in May this year to celebrate our 25th anniversary
This will be our 8th time down since 1999 and our last visit was summer 2017 just before Irma destroyed the island
We always stay on the French side and our first place we stayed was a hotel just before Sandy Ground that was destroyed and I believe now is Condos
We have stayed at Nettle Bay and Grand Case as well

My question is has anyone noticed the weather changes the past few years in particular the skies ?
Reason i ask is here in Canada where we live we have hardly any sun anymore and we see tons of planes daily spraying crap in the air
They say its contrails but its not as we see blue skies early in the AM and as soon as the planes start within a few hours we have no sun anymore
I have seen some pics of SXM and it looks like they are doing the same down there?
Whats your thoughts on this . We have friends in France that have lived their their whole lives and say the same thing
This is a typical pic here when 6 years ago the skies were a vivid blue

Traiteur in Orient village jeepers 6 hours ago Traiteur (was on dirait Le sud) in Orient village has changed owners from last January. They are now open all afternoon. We got delicious prepared meals for take away. They had beef cannaloni, chicken thighs in mushroom sauce, lasagna,curry chicken with vegetables & a seafood of some sort (which I didn't buy). They have baguettes as well & sometimes a home made herb flat bread. Also olive oils & of course charcuterie fixings. Everything was delicious & we didn't have to cook to eat in.

Has anyone been there? What is it like? American or French? Type of ZeeBest or MacD?

Road travel jeepers Yesterday at 08:36 PM We travelled from Marigot to orient & back most of the month & to philipsburg twice. It’s the least traffic we’ve experienced in the last 2 years. We were pleasantly surprised. We travelled around 9:30, 3-3:30 ish & some times around noon. We went to Simpson bay 3 times left by 2:30. No issues. We saw no motorcycles or scooters with front tires in the air. Actually very few scooters & most wore helmets. One guy had his hanging on the handle bars. Couldn’t win them all. 😜

One For One Euros VS Dollars on Orient Beach bonz1946 Yesterday at 07:53 PM With the Euro valued at around $1.18 wondering if any Orient Beach restaurants still do the old "one for one' exchange rate for US CASH! Probably wishful thinking but, why not ask?

love
