There is a place on Welfare Road that may be able to do this for you. It's near Bavaria Restaurant. I would make them postcards though........ and next to Pasta Cafe in Simpson Bay is a Post Office (small) where you can mail them. Or you can use Mailbox Etc. Good Luck irina

Hi Jim, Sonesta Great Bay is sort of isolated. Certainly not walkable at night from anywhere and the walk to town in the sun is doable but why? If you can, try to switch to Sonesta Maho. Much more accessible area, lots of bars, restaurants, beaches etc. You wouldn't even need a car if you are only staying a week and don't want to drive around. Good Luck Cheers irina

What do you mean? Like Christmas Day? Yeah, stuff is closed. Plus places close early on the 24th. Maybe Boxing Day also. I would not schedule anything past the 23rd then after New Years. Cheers Irina

We shipped all our furniture to SXM from New York and it was much cheaper than buying everything new. Plus it was better quality. We used Tropical Shipping and had an LCL, which is Less than a Container Load. Our stuff went from NY to Florida by cargo train then overseas by ship. Load is charged by Cubic Sq Ft. It was very easy to figure out if you get new, identically sized boxes. Highly re

Those old fashioned string bags are great. You cannot believe how much stuff you can stash in them. I used to use them in NYC to go to the Farmer's Market. You can get them at Home n Tools. Cheers irina

Gert, Hi! I'm Irina. What? Saint Severin has a new owner? What happened? Did they change the menu that has been there forever? We love that place. Let us know. Glad you found kid friendly places. Cheers irina

Actually BobP, I have read your posting of this crime before and never commented on it. But the same thing happened to me with my Amex card that I use alll the time, in NY and in SXM. When I got home from SXM there were multiple messages on my machine from Amex. Over $4000 in charges and gift certificates. They immediately cancelled the card. When I asked what happened, they told me I would n

Bettenan, That's because the Dutch docs won't send their patients there. It's insane really. They would prefer the patient suffer rather than send them to Dennoui. And yes there is one on the French side. Sorry Philippe, I forgot. I had a sonogram done on the French side also. Cheers, I think. irina

Bettenan, There is an MRI machine on island and I have used it several times. The results are read by a team of radiologists in New Jersey. Unfortunately it is at the dreaded Dr. Dennoui's clinic. I have no idea why all docs on island dislike this man but the MRI machine was very important to me for diagnosis of spine infection. That said, I agree that if she has serious medical probl

I just received this from our friends who are on the island: "We are staying in the Atrium with a big generator and water tank. We will probably get back on the boat tomorrow. Troops flew in from the Netherlands to enforce a curfew that expired at 10:00 this morning. The Chinese store across the street, which has no electricity, is giving change in dollar bills and Chiclets for coins. Ba

Have heard from a friend of Barbara that B called her this am. Lot's of trees down etc. Heard there was a tornado in Simpson Bay that ripped some roofs off by ScotiaBank. Heard waves rolled into Pburg. Damage in Beacon Hill, Simpson Bay etc. B has a full house generator but I also heard the power stayed on all night for some. Will let you know if I hear more. irina
