Mornin’!

Winter seems to not want to leave us but be on the lookout (finally) for milder temps and a bit of sunshine heading into early next week.

And back by popular demand… we created a flyer containing a QR code which takes you directly to the most recent Lowdown newsletter when you scan it with your phone. This flyer is a perfect value add for hotels, small businesses, or those who own rental properties as it allows your guests to quickly see what’s happening on the island during their visit. Click the button below to download or print out the flyer.

P.S. 🥳 Wishing a very Happy Birthday to my daughter who turns 3 today! And if she’s able to read this birthday shout-out, I’m highly impressed.

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…

— Jeff
