It's kind of an "Antillean" flag day. Schools, offices, gov't, stores closed. It's October 21. Tousist related businesses (car rentals, dive shops, restaurants, etc) open as usual.

The kids are out two days this year - Monday and Tuesday. We'll have to check but the grocery stores may be closed on the 21st or have shorter hours.

Oct. 21 is the date on which,if I'm not mistaken, in 1994 a referendum was held on all 5 islands to see if the islands would stay together as the Netherlands Antilles or go their separate ways.
