Trip report. After biting nails for few hours on Friday and re-submitting application we finally got EHAS approval for my DH after he got denied and I got approved for our flight on Saturday. SXM here we come.
Saturday. after uneventful flight, we checked in at our home away from home Beachside Villas, dropped the bags off and went to Carrefour for supplies. After quick dip in the pool, some snacks, short nap off to dinner at Pineapple Pete’s. They were fairly busy but service was good as usual. French onion soup for both of us, coconut shrimp and shrimp stuffed with crabmeat. All was good. Back to the BSV and early to bed. Stopped at Yacht Club for a couple of beers on the way home.
Sunday. Get up, gaze at a beautiful turquoise water out of our porch, sigh “ we are back again “. Off to Cafe Atlantico in Simpson Bay for some croissants and baguette, back “home” for breakfast of some eggs, coffee, ham and newly acquired croissants. Life is good! Day consisted of swimming, snacking, Airplane watching and napping. Went to dinner at Palms but they were closed, drove by Vesna but they were closed also so ended up at the Bar Code. First time for us and were very pleased with our choice, cute place, chicken Caesar salad for me and huge Club sandwich for DH. All was good but service was very slow despite they weren’t full at all. No rush, we are on the island time. Stopped at the Boat Bat for a couple of rum punches on the way home.
Monday. Breakfast at home, dip in the pool and off to obligatory trip around the island with stop at Bikini Beach bar on Orient for a couple of adult refreshments. Back home for a dip and a nap. Dinner was in, served on the porch with a beautiful view. Consisted of fried chicken, pasta and veggies. After bottle and half of red vine off to bed.
More to follow. Luda.

Sounds excellent and much of it reminiscent of our stay in April. Thanks for sharing and hope the rest of it is as pleasant as the beginnings so far. 😊😊
Respectfully,

Ha-ha, I am keeping it warm (well, actually cold) for you! Sorry to hear about the mess at the airport you had to go through.

It's Boat BAR, which was just a typo, which Scubaman knew very well. And that was why the laughing emoji.

Glad someone could enjoy it after we left. Hopefully you don't have such a FUBAR when you leave. If it were me, I probably would get to the airport pretty early though, so at least you have time to sit down once you get through security, etc. Hope you're not leaving on a Saturday!!!!

Yes, that was Driftwood boat bar. We did not eat there this time but had a couple of rum punches. Had one dinner there our last trip and did not enjoy it at all so skipping this trip. I know a lot of people here like their food, maybe it was an off night for us, who knows. Drinks are good though.
