50th Anniversary trip/ MIA Park-N-Fly - 04/24/2019 11:43 AM
We have not been back to SXM since 2012 but have followed this forum religiously, knowing that we would return one of these years. And we are, in December!
We just nailed down a 10 day trip to St. Martin prior to our 7 day family trip to Turks and Caicos over Christmas. Staying 3-4 nights each at the 3 clothing optional places near Orient: Club Fantastico, Jardin D'O and Residence Adam and Eve. Couldn't decide which place we wanted to stay at so we are trying all 3! So we'll be be gone 3 weeks or so next Dec. due to our pesky 50th anniversary !
We worked the dates so we could do Park-N-Fly at the Hampton Inn near MIA on 12/12, fly to SXM on American, fly back to MIA on the 22nd, stay overnight and do another Park-N-Fly at the Hampton for the T&C trip the next day, also flying on American Total of 19 days parking of which 14 are free at the Hampton. They'll charge for the extra 5 days but who cares!? Our R/T basic economy fare to SXM from MIA was only $268, plus extra $ TBD for checked luggage and seat selection that we might do later.
We would have worked the same arrangement with Jet Blue out of FLL (would much prefer flying out of there) but JB had not posted their schedule when we made our T&C plans in February- we wanted to grab good fares and seats on the puddle jumper in T&C (from Prov. to Grand Turk) while they were still available. At the time, we did not see, as we had originally hoped, any direct flights from T&C to SXM, hence the MIA connection in between.
Looking forward to having some fun and chipping in to help SXM recover at the same time .
