  1. Check out the Azores. They're Portuguese islands about 800 miles east of Portugal in the Atlantic. You can get super cheap deals there flying out of Boston. Go check out all the different islands. It's kinda cool.
  2. I'm a huge fan of Marie Sharp's. But, when I was in St Maarten over Christmas we had a lot of the Matouks, both West Indian and the Calypso...All the BBQ places and Lolos had this as a condiment. Came home and ordered some from Amazon. We also hung out at Fat Tony's most nights and he's got a couple of hot sauces that he makes. Both are great. The Regular is great on EVERYTHING. Wings, meat, bloody mary's, as a dipping sauce for fries, etc... He's also got a Mango Habanero that rocks... I grabbed 6 bottles of the Regular before we left...he was out of the mango...
  3. Didn't see any ice on the canals. Would figure that would ice over first.
  4. Considering how many fish it killed in the Gulf, I doubt anything could have helped this... And I think they're some kind of pump. I never was 100% sure.
  5. Do you know exactly when they're shutting down Shorty's? It's really going to suck when it's gone.
  6. They've removed over 160,000 lbs of dead fish so far...
  7. The freeze on N Padre was BAD. The canals are STILL full of dead fish and that's after they've literally had vacuum trucks pulling tons of them out of the water. The stench in some places is heinous. Luckily, we only had a few dead ones in our canal... The water is just really shallow and the freeze was REALLY long (it was below freezing for at least 48 hrs). Go look at all the palm trees - a large number of them will have to be removed because they're dead.
  8. I had to go to the DMV this week so I headed to the one in Port A (the one in Corpus is a cluster f&%). They were physically tearing down the Giggity's building at the time. Sad times...
  9. As I questioned before. What are you doing to do with a US citizen? Where are you going send them when you deny their entry? Back to where they came from? What if that country won't let them in?
  10. I wonder what the constitutionality is with denying a legal US citizen entry into the US. Yeah yeah. I get the COVID and all that, but still. A US is not allowed into their own country???? BTW, I'm not trying to Cloak Room this. It just seems like a bad precedent.
  11. Official rule from SXM is NOBODY from boats gets off. They can quarantine though. Looks like someone broke the rules... BTW it was weird seeing 4 cruise ships in Phillipsburg and the whole place was a ghost town. Because those ships had no passengers.
  12. My GF and I did 2 weeks in Sint Maarten over Christmas and New Years. Negative test to get there. Probably the safest place to be because you can't get there if you have the Rona. And neither can anyone else...
  13. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
  14. There is... When I moved here in Aug of 2018 I realized I had never been on the island during football season. So, the weekend before the first game, I literally went to every single place on the island that had beer and TVs to figure out where I'd go for games... The top 2 were Costa Sur and the Boathouse. So, I generally rotated between those two. But...another thing that comes with a good sports bar is a lot of hot waitresses and I've heard that HK has those. I'll probably go check on HK tomorrow before hitting the beach.
  15. I've had a few upgrades to First on AA this past year. They announced they are not doing any drink service of the PA and then proceeded to give me the booze I asked for. But, food was just upgraded snacks and maybe a sandwich or something. Less than you normally got.
  16. The 2 Mexican places on the island offer free chips and salsa (as all good Mexican restaurants do). But, they suck for watching sports or hanging out and drinking (I guess La Palma is in the lower end of "ok"). No one else gives you free chips and salsa on the island that I know of.
  17. I wish I was retired so I could never leave this island again. The IGA is awesome!!! Haven't been to the HardKnocks here yet, but have been to the one on southside. It's a good legit sports bar. I'll go tomorrow and take pics...for...informational purposes only, of course. They learned that ShaggyBevo was fucking NOGO...
  18. An AMEX Platinum PSA: I just got back from my yearly Christmas vacation in St Martin this weekend. I was drinking last night, so I got on AMEX Travel to start planning next year (why not, right?). Right away, there's a splash screen that informs me that I can get a $200 Travel Credit by booking through AMEX Travel and using my Platinum card. I checked a bit and this appears to be in addition to the $200 Airline credit I get with the card. Just thought I'd let you know about this new benefit AMEX is handing out...
  19. BTW, I'll let y'all in on my secret to finding this SFTB... I vacation in Sint Maarten every Christmas. I take a day trip to Phillipsburg one of those days and hit up the same liquor store. Usually, I get a couple bottles of JW Blue for around $120 (no tax there either), but they were out this year. I'm still a neophyte in the bourbon world but saw they had the Blanton's (a LOT of it, BTW) and realized that it was a steal at their price - $135. So, I had them deliver the 2 bottles to my condo. I also bought some Conde de Cuba Extra Anejo 15 year rum that they recommended (same price as Havana Club) and a couple other things. I suggest that if you travel to SXM, you do the same and bring an extra suitcase for your treats.
  20. You'd really hate me if you know what I paid for them...
  21. Picked up a couple bottles of Blanton's SFTB over the holidays. Thinking I should have bought more now... Definitely going to drink one, but not sure if I drink the other or do this selling on the "secondary market" thing you folks opine about...
  22. Probably a higher chance of sun, too...
  23. My GF is putting down half of the payment...she's cool😁
