Wow, I have jotted down so many suggestions from this group, will surely do a trip report to let you know how it all panned out!! Another question, I know money is the best tip and I will do that, but I wanted to give a small gift as well from Canada, something that you cannot get in SXM to some of the locals that will be providing us services at our rental and also perhaps some chance encounters with locals. Any ideas? Also we are staying on the French side and I am assuming we will need a converter to charge our cameras ect> Thanks in advance, this is an awesome forum!!!
