Enjoyed your daily reports! Having stayed at BSV and Grand Case Beach Club I know first hand what paradise is!!!! Now that I've seen the upgrades at GCBC I'm not sure it would fill our need for paradise. We looked forward to staying there then Irma came. They wanted to re book us but they weren't sure when they would re open so we requested a refund of our deposit. We wanted to see what had been done so we lunched there last week. The Sunset Cafe, cement now and sterile tables, plexiglass surround wasn't very quaint. The room upgrades no longer have a Caribbean feel, stainless steel appliances, modern furniture. The buildings facing Anguilla looked somehow different but I can't figure out the change. The buildings facing Grand Case Beach look the same outside. They said the restaurant will re close in June to build a proper kitchen, they now work from a food truck.

OK, thanks for the report. Glad you got home OK. Delays apparently are just a function of travel these days..

for a 12:26 pm flight home. We arrived a little after 10 am and the line for Jet Blue was through the doors and outside.
We were seated next to a JB Pilot who was , I think they call it "dead ending" or anyway returning to base.
Global line was larger than regular line so we breezed through with the pions, ha! .
An hour and a half is cutting it close but YIKES, out the door? They really need to work out their staffing! DeadHEADing pilots.......Jerry Garcia fans would never forget. Im mixed on Global re-entry. Hit or miss....

They arrived at 10 for a 12:30 flight....2 1/2 hours....plenty of time.
