But already we are ahead of the story. Last night we were watching Movies under the Stars. After about 30 minutes it turned into Movies under the Raincloud. So we did not watch the horse movie after all. However that marked the beginning of a kind of rough night at sea. Apparently we caught up to tho http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Saint-Martin/blog-694795.html News Release from Philipsburg The AHEAD Center of Excellence in St Maarten a school for children with learning challenges autism and other issues that do not allow them to attend regular public education received supplies and funds from Dade City Rotary Club which partnered with Rotary International39s District 7020 in the Caribbean Rotary Club of St. Maarten the East Side 8 Pasco C http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Saint-Martin/blog-679937.html We have been back home for a week or so now. We usually write our travel blog while at our destinations. But since Facebook is our main communication tool with our friends and families and because this trip was very short we just did not have time to write our travel blog.Nonetheless we want to document our trip and publish our pictures here in the travel blog so that 5 or 10 years from now w http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Saint-Martin/blog-651326.html Join Me Aboard The Celebrity X Cruise Eclipse Nov. 1219 2011Port of Call Miami FL Departs 430 pm Nov 12 Nov 19 0700 AMCome join me aboard the Celebrity X Cruise Eclipse for 7 days in the Southern CaribbeanThree days out at Sea and three days on the Caribbean Islands St. Thomas St Maarten andSan Juan.Please visit our website book now and save 30 off per cabin. Double occupancy cab http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Saint-Martin/Grand-Case/blog-631957.html We started out today with a couple of cold showers.humm does that mean we got up too late or maybe there is a plumbing problem at the old three star Flamingo Resort. At least the toilet flushed. After our low budget yogurt and peanut butter bread breakfast we piled into the musty Hyundai Accent for a road trip around the island. The humidity was oppressive today but since we are Arizonans http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Saint-Martin/blog-616067.html We arrived in St Maarten and had to wait for the bridge opening before entering into Simpson Bay Lagoon. The lagoon was very shallow and was a bit nerve racking once again seeing the depth gauge hit zero more than once. When I was up the mast doing a rig check I took some photos of a boat that was less lucky. We got our engine mounts changed in St Maarten to make them fresh and new and it has g http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Saint-Martin/blog-614616.html Exploring the Island of St Martin over the months of January March 2011 Is amazing. I love this island from the luscious green rolling mountains on the horizon to the white sandy beaches always accomponied by a rustic grass hutted bar with the famous rum punches flowing freely amongst the sun kissed locals.

This seemed like the perfect place to end the vacation and daddy made great choice. He hired a car and we took Avo Jay on a tour of the island before he was to go back on the boat for the last night. While our hotel was in Sint Maarten http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Saint-Martin/blog-556774.html St Martin Beach ResortDuring a 3 day stay on the St Martin island we stayed at a nice resort called Grand Case Beach Club. Its one of those resorts thats fenced off so people cant just walk into the resort. It was really nice with first class accommodations all around. We did have a hard time finding a place to eat. Some of the restaurants there would make us vegan dishes while at other ti http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Saint-Martin/Grand-Case/blog-39701.html
