We were to arrive that week on AA 667 out of JFK - had to cancel and our small party would up in Florida. AA told us we has to fly to SXM that is until we held up the front page of the local news paper to the clerk behind the counter showing the airport closed.

Our resort at Divi took a major hit - the hotel section and restaurants were still closed one year later - our friends place at Towers at Mullet Bay remained open but just about everything around it was gone as we once knew it.
