Just returned after 17 days at Simpson Bay Resort, had 8 others with me this trip, including new gt.grandson. First year w/o husband Jim. Had another strange omen this year. A
pure white pigeon arrived my first day, very tame and would
accept hand feeding of scraps. Never saw it before in our 25 years 50-60 trips. Even Laura, the bar-maid said in her 12 years, she had never seen it before. Jim loved birds and I have many pictures of him feeding them around the pool. Was this him returning, who knows???? Most meals all cooked by me including prime ribs, filet mignon, steaks,
shrimp scampi, Italian night, Polish night, and more. Sorry, no pictures. Did eat at La Patrona twice and Salt and Peppy. Both were excellent. I stayed at the Resort, all
others did their usual beaches and various activities. Good to see other friends who returned this year, after leaving the resort a few years ago. Will most likely return again next year, everyone loves SXM....

Belatedly, so very sorry for your loss. And I'm a believer in things of that sort so I'm betting Jim was there with you keeping a close eye on everyone and everything and wishing you all the joys with your family that you shared over so many years and trips before his passing. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

I have always heard that a bird was a sign---he was probably with you....


Sounds like you are a good cook! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

So glad you were able to return and that you had a good time.

Thanks for the report, glad you were able to return.

How wonderful to have a trip like that with many generations.

So lovely that your husband sent the bird to comfort you, and say he is always with you.

I recall you were always one to do alot of home cooking away from home because you have a lot of family with you. I concur your bird friend was there to partake for the very reason you surmise. But thankful you have a lot of family around you, that's a treasure also.
