Twice a year works perfectly for us. Late June and early July and also for a couple of weeks the later part of November. We try to do between 3 and 4 weeks each year.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

Since we retired, we try to go 2 months of the year. Because of family obligations, we were not able to do our usual May trip, so we moved it to July. Leave Friday for another month! I can’t imagine going for one week & having to jump through so many hoops!
We always need island time! Ben & Katie

It will be a little more than nine weeks for me this year, but I don't have as many trips as you do! I’m trying to play catch up because 2020 was such a bust!!!! But I was fortunate in 2020 to get New Years, non-regatta ;), and New Years again! But I’ll be honest if I didn’t own the place idk if I would jump through these hoops so often!!!

Back in the day, before hubby became ill, we went twice a year for many, many years. Hubby came from the Caribbean and hated the Canadian winters. So we went usually around November, just as it started to get cold here, and then again in February/March when the cold weather here really got to him. We did occasionally go at other times of the year, if the spirit moved us and only once got caught in a hurricane.

We try to do two trips a year - one in November to commemorate our very first visit in Nov, ‘73, and the other in April to mark the time when we first started bringing our daughters with us. I think we’ve done every month of the year excluding only June, July and August when it’s usually beautiful here at home, and over the years, while some of them were just long 5 or 6 day long weekends, the trips have averaged anywhere from ten days to two weeks with an occasional 16 or 18 day stay. Sadly, DH still thinks ten days is a perfect trip so we do a lot of compromising on that one - him far moreso than me. 😊😊
Respectfully,
pat

Lately we been going twice a year, June-July for about 10 days and November-December for two weeks, but now that I am retired it is 3 weeks. This past June we combined 10 days in Antigua and 10 days in SXM. It was best of both worlds, got pampered at all inclusive in Antigua and then our usual BSV in SXM.
Life is short, travel the World.
