I know the official start of winter is 6 days away but when we woke up yesterday it was 60 degrees, when we went to bed there was half an inch of sleet and snow and the temp was single digit. It is now lunch time the following day and is a balmy 4 degrees today.
This is February weather, not December! It is officially winter here..GRRRRRR
Now the Caribbean jonesing really starts. Rob and Mary don’t have an official trip booked and planned yet but trust me about two more days of this cold crap and I will be trying to figure the cost of a 200+ pound package to ST Maarten via UPS….will of course have to be an overnighter…probably as much as a freaking plane ticket…..
Speaking of plane tickets, a few short months ago a ticket to our beloved SXM was in the range of 1400 a person. No I am not calculating this in Yen but in good ole devalued US Dollars. Last week I was looking on line and the same tickets were 540 each….much better. We are used to 550 to 700 rt per person. This is however the holiday and tax season for us and we are like many in America, at this point we are refusing to use credit cards so I will have to wait to buy our tickets for a while.
I think we are going to ask a couple of other couples if they would like to go the same time we do. It is fun to travel with others. While on island, it is go and do what you want as we will be doing the same but traveling to the island is so much fun when planning together. We will see how it goes, if they say they would like to go or not.
