Our first trip, if I remember correctly, was in 2004. For two years we came at the end of February to celebrate our anniversary, and stayed in a hotel on the French side. On our second trip we decided that we would want to return annually, and decided that purchasing a timeshare was the thing to do. We saw an ad for "Timesharing done right! No gifts, no gimmicks", walked into La Vista, sat down at the bar, and announced that we wanted to talk to someone about buying a unit there. The bartender called Caribbean Al, who was most happy to help us fulfill our goal. After touring several different units there, all occupied by owners who were more than willing to let us see their vacation homes, we left to "sleep on it". After grabbing lunch at Topper's by the Sea, we decided sleep wasn't necessary, came back, and signed the paperwork for our two consecutive weeks in the same unit at La Vista Beach. A few years later a third week became available at a half-price sale, and the rest is history. Other than 2017, when we couldn't use our weeks because of Irma, we've been every week since 2005, twice a year in 2006 and 2018. Fingers are crossed that we'll be able to return this November!!
