"without help"?? The French government is helping now. The issues are to do with the Dutch side only. Hopefully with the forced resignation of Marlin, the Dutch side will get some more help soon.

Thank you so much for posting this. I had NOT seen it before. It brought tears to my eyes and pain in my heart for the good people on both sides of our beloved Island. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,

We're returning this coming February. The studio on Orient where we stay at was not damaged badly. We know it won't be the same but we hope we can help contribute to the rebuilding of the island through tourism dollars and possibly by volunteering as well.

It now seems that every week another business has reopened in Grand Case or Orient. There is progress being made and St Martiners are working hard to be in business for the traditional busy season.

Southbound said: Is anyone on St Martin(particularly the French side)asking us to stay away until they are "ready"? No. They are saying to come with appropriate expectations. Look, if folks only go to, say, Club O and feel like they can't bear to stay any place else, then obviously, those folks aren't going to come and shouldn't. But if you love all of SXM and are ABLE to put aside the need to stay where you always stay, eat where you always eat, and vacation the way you used to, then by all means PLEASE COME ON DOWN. There are places open to stay, places open to eat and the beaches may not have your favorite bars on it, but they are there and beautiful. If you can handle that AND handle seeing the devastation from Irma still, please come down. Everyone is different, so I'm trying not to judge anyone. But what's not needed is the constant negativity. This isn't directed towards anyone in particular. Just the thoughts of someone whose family is on island and dealing with this!

Are all of his units rentable now, do you know? Good to hear at least he is starting back on the road to recovery. Any word on any of Bruno's other businesses?
