In just over a week, I shall be entering PJIA for the tenth time down - but the first with a destination other than St Barth.
We have one week at AXA, travelling with kids and another couple. I am contemplating a quick jaunt over to SBH - maybe even spend the nite - sans enfants. Yet I fear that such a teasing taste of ambrosia will only make me hungry for more.
Then again, when we have to "settle" for AXA, life doesn't suck, mes amis.

C'est facile. Send the kids home with the other couple, extend your trip, and slip over to SBH for a day. Don't give any thought to the fact that those same kids may well be responsible for your care when you're old and infirm...

IV dont miss the Lunch trucks in The Valley..Have a Beef Pattie for me please..If you see the Corn Soup lady under the tree just outside The Valley treat yourself...A very cool and funky place for Breakfest,is the Airport..If you wanna experience a very local fun vibe,check it out..Try to get to either Sandy Island or Prickly...A nice day sail with Cap'n Rollins out of Sandy Ground,might be a nice way to spend the afternoon..If you guys like snorkling,find Calvin on the beach,and have him take you to Little Bay..Its amazing.

Merci Peter.
Miker: Not too worried. In emulating His Timness, I shall hopefully make many more trips aux antilles. Indeed, I have three more (counting AXA) on the books for calendar year 07 plus a quicky to the IOP. As such, I'll probably manage.

My appologies..To find Calvin,go to Crocus Bay Beach,from Crocus he will take you to Little Bay,which is Anguillas best snorkling..The 10 minute boat ride is fun,and the secluded beach for snorkling shouldnt be missed..He will drop you off,then tell him when you want to be picked up...Hope you get to see it..Also,not sure how youre getting to AXA,but if you come by boat from SXM,you will land in Blowing Point...Take a deep breath,Blowing Point is a dump...I promise it gets much better than Blowing Point!!

Peter:
Now that Winscair is "once again flying to AXA" through an arrangement with AXA Air, we think we are flying. Even so, if I start getting That Old Winscair feeling at the terminal, I will pull the handles and cab it over to Marigot for the ferry. So your warning is much appreciated and will be remembered.

It might just be me,but to slide into total AXA mode,it starts with a cold beer in Marigot,hop on the boat,and a beautiful ride to Pardise..When you aproach AXA from the water,the closer you get,the whiteness of the beaches practically blinds you..But,get out of Blowing Point as fast as you can..When do you leave?

Good thought Peter. As I have followed the escapades of Winscair in the new terminal, particularly their On Again Off Again deal with flying to AXA, I have contemplated the ferry.
We are wheels up Sunday morning, taking "the oldest 757 in Delta's fleet" according to a recent post by EARL.
