St. Maarten (The southern Dutch side)

[ClubTed]

Will mongering ever be the same? Glad I'm on the downslope and have put my time in on Aruba, SXM, and Finally Curacao last fall, before the pandemic has changed the world. Since chatter is light, obviously due to the islands being shut down, want to throw out my thoughts and get input from the senior members to see if our top Caribbean destinations will ever be the same again.

1) Aruba. I was never really a fan of the bars here and did all my damage during the day cruising the alleys and setting up after work excursions. Bars aren't super packed and the daytime / nighttime alley drives do give adequate social distancing. Someone on the Aruba board asked what the current situation is. Have no idea. But if there are chicas stuck there. There is enough of an island clientele to keep them up and running.

2) St. Maarten. This is the tricky one. The honey hole, being Carolinas. Gets packed. With cruise ship passengers, cruise ship crew, tourists, locals, government officials. LOL. Place rocks. Can you imagine being in there at 2:00 pm During the day and having to wear a mask and talk to chicas wearing a mask? Sorry, doesn't work for me. And the same would be at any other casa, but Carolinas has the highest volume.

3) Barbados, Bonaire, and the DR. I've never visited so can't comment.

4) Lastly, Curacao. Saw one Dominicana was MIA, but someone on the Curacao board cleared up the fact that she bugged out of Campo and went AWOL. Anyway, this venue is the only one I see working in this pandenic, and I've only been there once. The social distancing and the outdoor environment in the hot sun. Not sure what virus could survive, that's not hidden in someone's pants. Still the issue remains about how close a chica will let you get to her. Will there be a Covid-19 surcharge to kiss? To even get close? And what used to be negotiable or attainable is now off the table?

Bottom line, is this sucks and unless there's a real quick fix to the transmission of this virus. We will all have to be thinking with the bigger head on this one. Just learned another big sports star NBA legend has tested positive. No answer to the dilemma but since reports are few and understandably non-existent, would appreciate some input from the senior posters on the dilemma and thoughts moving forward.

Bet the girls that are stuck on the island are offering excellent freelance rates at the minute. Really want to go over as my fav girl is on island still. I may check out flights in July if there is no quarantine.

Be interesting to see how quickly the girls come back when the clubs re-open, Also the island is going suffer without the cruise ships passengers, fingers crossed there are no big hurricanes this year.

As in Curacao I am not sure the Colombians went home, The Colombian president closed border really fast and does not look like accepting incoming flights from the islands. So I think there are still Colombians in SXM, I have one who is posting pictures in SXM so I guess she is there I could be wrong but I do not think so. She is posting pics on the beach so I guess a baller is taking care of her.

Many of the girls got stuck on the island and are still there. Lot of the Platinum girls are stranded there as well. I have friends on the island who have been hanging out with them often.

Colombia is shut down, no entry permitted from the DR.

All the chicas went home a long time ago.

It will probably be late August before there are chicas.

I would go to Campo--Ill bet they are up an running. one active case on the island.

Yeah yeah I know. It was more of a joke than anything else. Little bit of wishful thinking too. A man can dream, can't he? LOL.

Campo is looking like going bankrupt, the ones who are running the organisation did not want to pay its employees and the government had to jump in. The Dominicans went home, 1 sneaked out and is staying illegal with her mom on the island. The Colombians I think are still in Campo but campo is closed so no money for them. Campo manager is very mad at the ladies because since the lockdown they wouldn't pay their rooms no more, and there have been altercations between the manager and girls / guards even the police had to come.

SXM is reopening business in phases similar to everywhere else in the world. I believe they are only allowing residents to return now and they must quarantine for 14 days. I'm heading back after summer when things should be somewhat "normal" again.

Thats what I heard however is it a partial lifting of the quarantine or will flights be going to SXM?

Right now people are permitted to be out Mon, Wed, and Friday.

Hey Mel,

The earliest I can find a flight is the beginning of June.

Hi Mel, my friend has told me May 17th is the earliest but still tbc.

Anyone know when the quarantine will be lifted for incoming flights?
