Hi Jerry.
We were on the same AA flight out of Miami. An hour and a half delay for a minor mechanical issue, and just waiting for paperwork, according to the pilot. This was a lesson not to fly to SXM on a U.S. holiday as supposedly they were short staffed.
By the time we got to the supermarket (Super U in Grand Case) it was around 4:00 and it was mobbed and not so well stocked. While I really like food shopping on the island, this was a time when Jeannie’s service would’ve come in handy.
Enjoy your trip!
