This was the first morning that we had the internet go out before Andy needed to start working. I called Coral (Scarlet) and they advised of a known outage in Colebay and it was being worked on. No worries, he gathered up his tablet, phone, and we headed 2 minutes down the road to La Sucriere where he did his morning calls without issue and under the supervision of the resident iguanas. Back to the apartment at 10:00 and the internet is back. I get that this is the paradigm shift. We have to accept that the things we took for granted, 75mb download speeds, or even working internet at all, are now different. We’re adapting. I was forced to drown my internet sorrows in a pain au chocolat at La Sucriere. And so it goes 😁

Definitely a win win with the pain au chocolate!! It IS all fine!

What is your husband using for a work phone on the island? Can someone from US easily reach him or do they have to dial an international number( Yes I know SXM is a foreign country just trying to figure out how to do this seamlessly)
THanks!

He uses his cell phone, which is what he used at home in Charlotte as well (he worked from home there as well). He kept his US number and since we are on WiFi 95% of the time it works great with Verizon WiFi calling. For everything else and emergencies we got a local cell number as well in case our kids need us emergently or for local friends’ use. The numbers for the Dutch side of the island start with 1-721-your number, so no weird memorizing country codes.
