Sint Maarten, Netherlands

tammikuuta - helmikuuta 2023

This is truly one of the very few, as we are not in the habit of taking winter vacations and going into warm places (although Jan.2020 Palm Springs, CA would qualify).
In any case, never been to the island (either side) and looking forward to it. Lue lisää

For a capital of Franch side it really doesn't have a lot;
same thing as the first town - because it's Sunday 80% of all the shops and even restaurants are closed 😑
we took a fast stop at the port, gawked at the pretty boats and went back on the bus... and back to Dutch sideLue lisää

Sentry Hill
29. tammikuuta 2023, Sint Maarten ⋅ 🌬 79 °F
Sentry Hill - the highest point on the Dutch side at 341m (1100 ft)
It is overlooking Cay bay beach - a silent, quiet beach at the back of St Maarten’s energy plant, and provides access to Seaside Nature Park. An ideal location for kids to be around animals, or take a horse bak ride. It has a magnificent view of Great Bay and Phillipsburg. The town consists of only a few streets – mainly reserved for duty-free shops – and a population of less than 1,400 St. Maarteners. At the top of this mount are the remains of Fort Tig built by the British in 1801. When it became part of the Dutch territory in 1816, they renamed it Fort William in honor of Holland’s first king.
The monument is to Harold Jack the man who used to own the landLue lisää

2 4 1
29. tammikuuta 2023, Sint Maarten ⋅ 🌬 79 °F
Back to resort; sitting on a terrace, enjoying the 2-4-1 happy hour 😀
Laurie is having something called Painkiller and I opted for Sint Maarten Mama 🍸🧉🤗
....and The Birds just scored a TD 👏
The crowd gathered around the bar and many are watching the game.
Yes there are some 49ers fans here;
and there were a couple of gentlemen that have been running numbers since the beginning of the day so obviously the crowd is quite excited and into the game
2 4 1 means just that so we had "seconds" ... of course 😇
..and thirds...
Now we were told that in the Caribbean the regular drink is typically gets doubled so I'm going to say that we had 8 drinks each by this time... but what the heck Eagles are up 21/7 into the third quarter and life is good

So .... the end of it is...
Laurie went back to the room and got us some cheese sandwiches, made from provisions we bought earlier, while I ordered us " round 4", we cheered Da Birds to the Victory and went to the gym to finish off the nightLue lisää

MatkaajaE-A-G-L-E-S . The AFC championship was pretty good too -- but who goes on vacation to mainline football?

Matkaajasome of the crowd stayed for "game 2". We obviously thought that some time on treadmill would be better 😉
30.1.2023VastaaKääntää
MatkaajaWe watched the game at James' home. Unfortunately he is a 49's fan. He was most unhappy they lost but is ok with the Eagles winning.

Lazy Day
30. tammikuuta 2023, Sint Maarten
"Blue sky, sunshine
What a day to take a dip in the pool
Ice cream, daydream....

Lazy day just right for lovin' away
Lazy day made for a stroll in the lane....
To the spa..."

Completely lazy and relaxed day
after breakfast we did the timeshare presentation then walked a little bit more around the resort, snuck in some gym time and went to the pool.
we stayed in the pool for a little while until the mini Monsoon drove everybody away ...but we had a reservation for spa where Laurie got her nails done and I had a relaxing massage. Then we went to the pool and stayed there until another mini monsoon drove us away (you know dem 5-minutes hits) so we went back to the room had some lunch
Then back to the pool side to just sit there and do a little relaxing reading... Will be getting ready for a big welcome party and then dinner soon afterwardsLue lisää

Evening has broken...
30. tammikuuta 2023, Sint Maarten ⋅ 🌬 79 °F
Open bar for 2 hours
Salt n Pepper are taking good care of us
These ladies are more than generous with their pours...and just the fact that the booze is free 👌 😉...

...Noticed this rock formation earlier in the day; at that time it reminded me of a seagull but now (different lighting and couple of rum punches) it looks more like an Alligator...😵‍💫

The is a live band providing entertainment and we all are having a MAH-velous time.

The dinner theme for tonight was Lobster Night
Laurie went with Lobster Ravioli but I decided to forgo crustaceans and chose pan-seared Red Snapper.
We shared a not NY-style cheesecake for dessert... as you can guess it was yummy 😋

The outside festivities continued with Karaoke night...
Another day in Paradise under the beltLue lisää

Babit Point
31. tammikuuta 2023, Saint Martin ⋅ 🌬 75 °F
Babit Point is a high hill that rises up from the entrance of the bay. There are rock outcroppings and clusters to enjoy along the way to the top. Many hikers opt to use them as places to take a break, sit for a while, and enjoy the views, which are undeniably some of the best on the island.
Some four-legged friends greeted us as we got on the short trail properLue lisää
