Hey ! SXM People….the givers. A short note about the kind of folks we see on SXM, locals and tourists. A few weeks back it became known that Chloe and Thierry, former operators of The Kissing Fish Bar at the Summit Hotel in Cupecoy, were encountering difficulty in Bali. Chloe and Thierry had made a break from KF last fall, gathered themselves together and headed out on a new venture

Hey! Don't know about the "kids" part but seldom do you find posts deleted,arguments or posts highjacked. The "local" input here is the best feature, and many of us get down multi times per year hence it's easier to keep up with the changes. Personally, I find it easier to post large pics that don't get lost on the masses, picked apart and are genuinely

Hey Lynn, You can ship anything if you want to spend the $$$$. I considered leaving a car in SXM about 2 years ago and decided it was too expensive to ship from Miami. I think it was about $2500.00. There are MANY used cars for sale at reasonable prices on Island due to the turn in of rental cars and the transient factor. Registration, safety checks etc. would be easier to obtain thr

Hey Sea ! Leave this one alone...it would be sacreligious to alter the most beautiful colour scheme in the world ! This is BANDIT, my personal favourite in the biz jet category. Owned by the illustrious and highly successful Roman Abramovitch, this is one of the few Boeing 767's privately owned. Seen on the tarmac waiting to line up for a rwy 10 launch in 2007. Denis

Hey! Barbara loves these megayachts and they do hold a fascination as to how the super rich live. Roman Abramovitch, the Russian financier, has a couple of others including ECSTASEA which has been spotted in SXM over the years. He also was spotted flying in on his Boeing 767 to the Princess over the holiday. I'll add the pic when I get it processed. PELORUS is 115 meters or a littl

Hey Melissa! Yes, there are a number of brothels. The most noteworthy is the Seaman's Club. On Curacao and in Aruba you will also find them. The Government has some controls in place to make them safe for the workers and customers. A friend who is 30ish in Curacao unabashedly explained with his Euro logic that he indeed makes trips to a brothel because in his words; " I have

Hey! So you got me goin' and have come to a dead halt ! Obviously it's nothing to do with our famous Florida beach highway.

Hey! If it's any help to you perhaps the original poster will fill in some of the blanks after 2 weeks. Bottom line, lock up your villa, timeshare, house, cottage or whatever. We will be staying in a similar private home soon and will close the storm shutters each night. I'm cautious, but not worried. From what I gather there are extra police patrols around this neighbourhood.
