Teresa,
It sounds like a wonderful island stay - but not just any island. Only SXM has all that you experienced and I'm in complete agreement with you on so many things.
Karakter has completely fallen off our must-do list for the reasons you cited, and while we loved the Allamanda back in the day, it, too, is now beyond our radar.
Glad your home-coming was a good one and until next time.... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
