Sleeepy it was a Hundyai Atos Prime and it was very small but 4 folks could fit provided no one is huge (either wide or tall)....here is a link that has some photos of the car. It was basic, but did have air con and automatic tranny but no radio.

Thanks, Curt.

Hey all,
We are going to the island for a week. Love to visit Saba, never heard of it but the couple we are traveling with love adventure and this is a total surprise for them. Please fill me in on any ideas or suggestions..
Thanks

We'll also be stopping on St Martin onm our cruise in January. One thisg I had been considering is doing a beach trip over to Anguilla. With a tour its about $70 per person. Could we do this ourselves for cheaper? Is this worth doing or are the beaches on St Martin just as nice? Has anyone done the dolphin excursion on Anguilla? It seems like a lot of money for only about 1/2 hour with the dolphins. Are there any other beaches on St Martin you would recommend?

Thanks!

We enjoyed going on a snorkel tour in St. Maarten.

Joey, Saba is known for its diving. It's a beautiful little place with very old thick-walled cottages. The first time I went there there were still some people who had never, ever left Saba even for the day.

Matkat, the beaches on Sint Maarten are lovely but Anguilla beaches are spectacular. You could take the ferry from Marigot & go on your own.

Joey, I go to Saba every year and am very familiar with the island. If you are interested I can give you some info on what to do on a daytrip. You can email me at [email protected] so that we don't hijack hannah's thread.

Leaving in the morning and wondering if anyone knows how the weather has been? Staying in Grand Case again and wondering if anyone has any snorkeling tips. Thanks

I'm about 35 miles away from St. Martin and the weather has been nice. The temps are cooling off a bit (70's at night, 80's during the day) and it's been sunny with some showers here and there to keep things green. It's been a bit windy, but not too much so. Just enough to keep things cooler.

Enjoy your trip, Donzababe! Grand Case has always been my favorite beach on the island. Be sure to hang out at Calmos Cafe (my fave spot) for an afternoon! And, make a trip to Sunset Beach Bar by the airport on the Dutch side to watch the planes come in just a few feet away and see the sunset one evening.

ok Statia
you just have to tell this St. Maarten resident where Donzababe! Grand Case beach is. I never heard that name.
LOL
I do know Calmos Cafe though and love that place also

Barbara, I was telling "Donzababe" to have a great trip and adding that Grand Case is my favorite beach. LOL

I am assuming you are having the early Christmas winds that we are?

We're sure getting the winds here, too!

thanks for clearing up that (my) confusion Statia. LOL

and oh yes, we are having heavy winds here. My husband insists thoguh that these winds are higher than the usual Chriastmas winds. All I know is that things are flying around our yard and I can hear the wind howling all night.
I love the cooler weather though.
