1975 was to be my 1st visit to SBH with then fiancee before going to St Croix to stay with my former landlords(I lived/worked there 68-69), but the flight from SXM to SBH left without us, ended up going to Saba for a day, then to St Thomas overnite then to St Croix. Remarried in '78, Bermuda was quick & easy & great little guest house, then tried Elbow Cay in the Abacos for a few years of house & boat rentals, not enough restaurants so SBH somewhere late 80's or early '90's became our go to place after a couple of early Windstar cruises...no gasps please, we still cruise...once to the original Eden Roc when Remy owned it, just lunch, next time to restaurant at hotel building where I think Cheval Blanc is now, remember the basket with the langouste in it for our approval. Hurricane destroyed that hotel, but it sat there empty & ugly for a very long time. I had originally known of SBH from reading about it in a Town & Country magazine years ago that had photos of a just married couple named Blanchard and scenic shots so that's when I knew had to visit. I will have to count the number of villas & stays in each one to figure how many years we've visited our beloved SBH. And I remember gate 10 at SXM, the old airport there & on SBH too.
Have been to most of the islands...Bermuda about 20 times, Bahamian Out Islands & most in the Caribbean, there is not another out there like SBH,, never will be.
