I'd highly recommend Hans Meevis Jewelery on Airport Rd. Hans is a genius and will incorporate anything you like!! His jewelry is one of a kind and FABULOUS!! And Anne, his wife, is a delight!! At my pahty this weekend, Marion (PaulMarion) had a fantastic cuff and when asked she said she brought all her 'junk' pieces of gold and Hans melted it into a fantastic work of art!! Wh

Vinny...that's very typical for Greek kabobs. That's what makes the kabobs so tender and juicy. I've done it with chicken kabobs, too! Yummy!!! Contessa

BBQ RULES We are about to enter the summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved. When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion: Routine

Well, Phillipe, you may be correct, but after my experiences I'm extremely sensitive about people not being realistic about the situations. Yes,you are also, correct that Denis postings are generally informational. This one got me, though...... However, I don't agree that those situations that he mentioned weren't stupid. Some people need a reality check! Contessa
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Hi, Denis! Am I missing something? It sounds like your trivializing the serious crimes that have taken place on SXM. That's disrespectful to the victims! What you have listed are incidents to stupid people. Sure there's stupidity all over the world. But, as you know, crime has escalated in SXM. Are people a little more nervous about their vacation now than a few months ago? More

TS....Lighten UP!! YOU missed the point! I cut back a few years ago because the $$$ was beginning to weaken and crime was not the issue it is today!! CRIME is now the MAJOR reason for lots of people to find sun n' fun somewhere else. That's a BAD thing for SXM. Lost revenues = lost jobs = more CRIME!! That's the point! If you just complain instead of using your energy to do s

TS.....just to set the record straight....I don't complain, I'm just observant! I have altered my travel plans, I've only been travelling 2x yrly, for the past couple of years, as the dollar weakens it's becoming more $$$$. I've also observed that while the dollar isn't as weak on the Dutch side the prices have escalated. What's the difference Euros vs. r

Well,TS owner......the 'new' blood may not be able to afford SXM as the dollar weakens!! So, that may not be the issue. We're the ones with expendable income and have spent mucho $$$$ in SXM......and would continue to do so if the crime situation was to be resolved. I don't think the government officials are stupid, I think they're 'comfortable' with the way

Sue, Thanks for your concern and not believing the B.S. that some of the articles are spewing about the gv't's concern for crime. If they're so concerned let them DO SOMETHING about it!!

Crime is escalating on SXM and something must be done before it becomes like a prison for tourists and/or worse.......NO TOURISTS!! While there I experienced 3 crimes. That's just ME! I am so fond of SXM I want to DO something to help crime. The newbies will just spread the negative word and spend their tourist $$$$ on another Island. I don't want to see that happen to my beloved is

I responded to your requests on another forum, which I don't need to repeat. However, I forgot to mention that when my niece got married we had a bachlorette party on the Celine. A fabulous time!!

Barbara, 'back in the day', my husband was a police officer. When someone needed an escort they'd phone the police dept. in that jurisdiction and they'd meet up on the border, leaving the local police to finish the escort. Something like that, especially in this situation, should have been done. However, not doing anything is what's making people feel frustrated and ab
