Thank YOU! I can't imagine Sint Maarten would be anywhere near as cool without my gorgeous girlfriend. And I'm SURE you'll enjoy our trip to Club Orient, where the beers are cold and the heinies are bare. :P

Someone's gotta have a pocket for the camera, anyway... ;-)

21. take a day trip to anguilla
it's so beautiful.
also the french side is a lot nicer. better food and just more interesting overall. , they have a huge beach party for the full moon just outside of the large french town. plum beach is gorgeous and deserted, the other beaches on that side have great kiosks for food and frosty drinks.

29. it will.
and the ferries to st john and anguilla are on the french side. i think theres also one to st barths, as i recall.
load up on cheap booze and gamble on the dutch side and when it bores you, take the road past the airport to the french side. remarkable beaches there!
enjoy, sweetie!

32. Mincing is good, but since I only have one good foot, I thought I could
take care of that part! ;-)

Go ahead and leap, spin, turn and pirouette, while you're at it!

I imagine that you'll be happy enought to do all of the above!

Sounds like a great trip!

33. truth be told,
I'm more a "collapse and vegetate" kinda guy. But then ya put a couple Carib lagers in me under the hot sun... there could potentially be leaping. ;-) Hope yer foot is well-healed long before October!

34. Gracias!
By all means, vegetate all you want, but should you get an urge to leap, do so with all your heart! Just make sure you have a soft landing. :-)

37. Lucky!
I only get to go to New Mexico and Massachusetts!
Although I did go to Chile last year, but that's the only really exotic place I've been too. Also, not exactly tropical (I was there for the skiing).
Have a lot of fun before you return to real life!
