Arrival travels from Washington Dulles to Paradise went reasonably well considering 11-travelers in our group with a 5-month old and another celebrating her 3rd consecutive Birthday on St. Barts. I demand that everyone in our family travel light, so “carry on only” makes the connection much easier. We had to separate into two groups to make things work this trip. One on St. Barths Commuter, one on Winair, due to inadequate availability when I booked several months ago. I heard there was a big wedding that took up the prime time seats across the chanel on St. Baths Commuter.
Obviously, Anita, Betty, Babies and I traveled on Commuter, everyone else on Winair. Trip to St. Barts went smoothly, we were only in St. Maarten 20-minutes from deplane United and wheels up on St. Baths Commuter. However, the high winds made it a harrowing experience for some of the other travelers which were not accustomed to rough flying. I can not stress enough our pleasure with St. Barths Commuter service! They handed me and the girls efficiently from deplane at United to arrival in Paradise.
Got one big van and MINI Countryman, stopped at the grocery store and settled into our Villa.
Enjoyed a marvelous group dinner at L’Esprit last night. So much has already been said about this great establishment lead by the Executive Chef.
Returning home to the Villa, it was mesmerizing to sit on the deck listening to the wind howling and illuminated by nearly a full moon. Life is grand.
On a side note, love the new street signs.
Ahhhh St. Barts!
