You guys are from the states ... nice. You sure had me faked out. Maybe I'll amend my name to 'SXMSammy' and people will think I'm from St. Maarten! My wife and I will be visiting the first half of March, so they'll be no chance of running into you on the island. So, if any other questions pop up feel free to ask and I'm sure this group will have the appropriate responses. One thing about St. Martin (and I think I speak for the majority of people on this board) is that once you visit here you'll always want to come back the following year, and the year after that, and so on. It's kind of like our 'default' vacation destination during the winter or early spring months. We toss around other destinations like Punta Cana and Aruba, but somehow we always settle on another visit to SXM!
