We use a Bank of America Travel Rewards Cash Back card and pay it off as soon as we charge to it and let the point build up. Points vary depending on the type of purchase and you can use the points as a statement credit to pay towards any balance before paying it off.
2500 point gets a $ 25.00 statement credit.
As an example, I just booked a slip at Scrub island for $ 240.50 and I got 396.97 points for it. Basically for every $ 1500.00 spent you get $ 25.00 to use as a statement credit. Not the best return by any means but it is better than a fish hook in your foot for sure.

Aren't you able to tack on extra days at La Vista to avoid a moving day?

TMM is great. You can’t go wrong with them.

Our first stop was for cat food. Next day we bought regular state-side whole milk--not the shelf stale stuff, high quality kibble, and some inexpensive SuperU house brands of pate and sauced meals. Also, the cats have a standing invite with the French couple, the Lamoles, at 4 pm for another snack session. They have no shame about convincing other hotel guests that they haven't eaten for weeks. BTW, Picasso is the "she" and Pablo is her son.

We were told by a commercial lobster fisherman that once they are taken out of their environment and put in a tank they slowly feed upon themselves. Best to get a frozen tail unless they are consumed soon after caught.

we just did it a few days ago,,, we preregistered on line ,, but upon arrival we were told we had to scan the QR code to sign the waiver,,,, that was a bit of a cluster, the app isnt perfect would have been nice to do that upon pre registering,,
(maybe we missed it?) and tricky standing in line
but once that was done,, no issue,, slow ride to the top 45 mins,,the Crew are great to get you seated in the lifts,,, once there the view is amazing,, sadly the sahara dust impacted a bit but not too bad,,,, drinks at the top were great,, and generous,, no time to bother eating however the restaurant at the bottom was open
so no food isn't an issue really,,,, had a lot of fun with the others in line and ,,, got hooked up and away we went,,,,
there are several options for rides,,, there are a couple Ziplines that go peak to peak and then the big Flying Dutchman..
We only did the Flying Dutchman,,,,,, it was worth it,,,,
only one minor gripe would be the washrooms,,,, no idea how some mobility challenge folks get down the tiny spiral staircase,, and the mens only has a urinal and a black light to see!!

Looks amazing! Can you go just for drinks? Imagine that would be a great spot for afternoon cocktails.

Any idea if they are planning on another restaurant? Doing just the Japanese and Omakase definitely narrows their target audience.

From what I saw while buzzing through the marina's on my Rhino Safari rider. Just like the wrecked boats, they put them on a barge and take them to another island where they sold for scrap.

It’s a little hard on your eyes, nose and throat.
Hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

When I mentioned White Bay will be fine I meant as a day stop. White Bay is not a suitable overnight stop. It has zero protection from storms and no room to drag or react to issues. This includes the balls in the east end.

Great video. Brings back some wonderful memories.

Interestingly, a video that follows is from a lady telling us 8 things we should NOT do while in SXM.

Two of them are :

Don't complain about the price of things

Don't complain about anything.

Hmmm.....

We had planned on going tonight.
It’s been so long since we’ve been to one.
I guess it’s not to be.

Glad you enjoyed breakfast at SSBB. We go there at least twice during our month there. Always enjoy the food & attentive & friendly service. We enjoy the ambiance of the place. Driftwood is too crowded for us. Just our experiences.

We use Island Time every time (at least four trips a year). Using them Thursday in fact. We have 2-4 passengers most trips. The 6 minimum is not correct. I highly recommend using a BVI based operator for these runs, not a USVI based company.

Edited to add that Wilson K’s (a brand new member with only 1 forum post) is the third post on different social platforms I have seen today for Seahorse. They are evidently doing a marketing push…..

There is parking all along Orient, yes. If you are talking about the Club O section, sometimes it gets a little full.
