A longtime in coming

.one more query. Was Nick by any chance a dentist? I also agree Kevin is a great problem solver!

In thinking about it further I think he was from NY not Chicago and I don’t know if I ever knew his profession.

Nick The Dog is from New York, birthed as Vincent P**k, owns a landscape business working with estates of billionaires. Spent several high seasons cavorting with Nick and his wife Nancy back in the day. Nick was very good friends with Andy Hall.

Thank you. I had met up with another Nick who followed this forum. The Chicago guy was a foodie and really enjoyed the fine dining while on island. He was here with the dental group that used to have annual meetings.

After a span of ten years my wife and I are returning to the island to celebrate our 40th. Even though it’s been 10 years it will also be our tenth trip so we are not unfamiliar with the island. That leads me to my main question: what are the main changes we need to be alert to that have occurred since 2016?
Any major/significant changes to roads, restaurants or protocols, acceptable practices etc? Any information and/or guidance is greatly appreciated.
On a different note I have been a member of this forum since it was run by the woman and her husband who gave it up to open a restaurant years ago. I don’t remember their names but some of you will. My forum name was TomtheCat and if any mods read this, I would like to get it back and my original membership date if that is possible.
Again I appreciate any and all assistance

Things are busier, more expensive, and less local - - but, it is still a special place with great people, beaches and food.

I've been checking Le News each day with our trip fast approaching and Le Toiny has already started their day pass for the summer (120 Euro/pp) including a bottle of Perrier-Jouet so there is at least one good deal to be had out there!

I reached out to Hotel Toiny re: this offer and they kindly replied that it is only for island residents during low season.
Thought best to pass on for those hearts set on spending a champagne day at Toiny BC ; ) Of course you still can, lunch (and drinks) offered a la carte w/ transat 50 euro each.

Wow! I just double checked the ad in Le News and it doesn't mention for residents only anywhere! That really should be noted!

I’d recommend calling back to Le Toiny & identifying this omission.

I checked out the ad, too - and it really should say that if it is the case.
