Sanfilip, An interesting pictures you can post from the DAYS. I don't have a scanner so I can post the pictures I took from the late 70's thru the 90's.

Barbara, Maybe he/she needed a vacation after the crash and flew to the other side or another island. HaHa. Thanks. P.S. I'm having the photo shop make a few copies of the old pictures and postcards. Don't worry I'll bring the original cards down too.The postcards are from Little Bay Beach Hotel 60's & 70's versions showing the hotel & area. Plus the cards show th

Dane, Thanks, I guess I'll have to ask him where she might be. A few yrs ago I brought with us a few pictures of her we took at Sabastiano's with our daughter in the early 90's. She asked me if I had any pictures of her because they lost all of them during the 95 hurrician.I found one or two more I can give her if I know where to find her. Bob

Yes, its the Cul de Sac rd and to the Pinel boat dock.The restaurant/house is past the new pharmacy same side.I heard Savanna who took over her mothers restaurant Sabastiano's is at Ti Bouchen.We'll have to stop in for dinner in 2 weeks.Across the rd is a reasonably priced restaurant Au Grain De Sel with a parking lot too. It has good food & service so get there early if possible.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Ti Bouchen is just past the old Texaco Sta. and across from the entrance rd to Anse Marcel on the right side.MOMO has a small sign in front of the house/restaurant.

If your staying at the Esmeralda go to the Astrolabe across from the office.Or in the Cul de Sac Ti Bouchen or check the ones in Grand Case. In Marigot the Mini Club Wed & Sat night all u can eat buffet. We haven't missed her buffet in 25+ yrs during our trips.

Glad you had a good trip and made a few bucks to boot.I agree Toppers food & bar were pretty good last Feb too. We'll check them out again in a few weeks.Don't worry we'll also go back to Uncle Harry's place. Mark's is another I haven't missed for 20+ yrs.Thanks for reminding me and great picture. I see you got to the heart of the matter.

Barbara, I found a picture of us on the high speed ferry that used to leave from the Pelican.This picture is from our Nov. 91 trip over to St. Barths.The picture also shows the Atrium hotel, beach and the area to the left bridge side. Do you know if there is a way to remove us from the picture and leave the rest of the area showing. I also found a few pictures of us in the Frigate during our Feb

Anon, Methinks you have it wrong.AA doesn't use their own people at pjia anymore its a private company hired by AA.No criminal will wait 8 months for us to arrive on SXM and then wait a week to MAKE a CC and start charging.Do you actually know if your info can't be taken at the airport. I'm sure your purchase record is in their computor.Many times we have changed our dates of trave

At the Esmeralda your car is parked right in front or along side your room.Only a few yds to the entrance from your parking spot.Yes, the Village has been under a crimewave recently and many villa breakins.The rds are as safe as anywhere else.IMO, GC isn't as safe as yrs ago and most restaurants are empty by 10:00PM. I don't know how long you've been visiting SXM but yrs ago GC had

Irina & John, Our CC was used on a totally secure GOV computor to book our tickets in April 07. The CC was never used again. The French police HQ told us when filing our report that a group from S. America is operating (3 men & 1 women) on SXM and commiting CC crimes. Only one of the men spoke english to the casher at Romeo & Juliet Shoe Store.They also used a blank CC's and made

No you shouldn't drive at night to many locations. We used to leave casino Royale at 1 or 2 AM and drove back to Anse Marcel without fear. But those safe DAYS from the 80's & early 90's are over & gone.Don't stop if a car bumps into your car and they want you to stop. Drive to a police station or your hotel. Don't wear gold jewelry or flash money anywhere.The isla

C& M @25, I've been vacationing on SXM since the late 70's and IMO, Anse Marcel is a safe secluded area.Especially with the new Radisson opening soon there will be even more security.Visitors must pass threw 2 road blocked locations to park and enter the hotels.We've been staying at LaHabitation since it opened in 86/87 and now stay close to the new Radisson and feel very secu

Yes if you recall there is a gate at the entrance with a pole across the road the guard must raise each time a car enters or leaves. We've stayed there many times since it first opened around 1990 and my last stay was 5 yrs ago too.Twice a yrs Nov/Dec & Feb we rent chairs at COCO beach during our trips.I have seen a guard riding a bicycle around the property during the daytime.The ground

I've stayed at the Cottages many times and own week 7 but stay an extra week during our vacations there. The Radisson doesn't own the Cottages. I've stayed at La Habitation twice a yrs from 87 till it closed and love the area.PM if you need more info. good luck. P.S. we'll be there during the last 2 wks in Feb.

You have to use your own judgement because SXM now has the same problems as many other carib islands. good luck. We will be there end of Nov early Dec too.
