St. Maarten's -- What to do?
VAVa Voom...TOPLESS!
"Tom K" wrote in message ... The best way to describe it.... Imagine a cruise ship private island with 50 people instead of 3000 people. Imaging beautiful scenery, with islands in the distance. White sand beaches. Calm, clear, warm water. A short boat ride to the island. Then add topless. "USguy" wrote in message ... What does Pinel Island have to offer? On Thu, 21 Dec 2006 07:58:41 -0500, "Tom K" wrote: Pinel Island. "USguy" wrote in message ... I've been on a bunch of cruises in the past, but never has the opportunity to visit St. Maarten's. So I'm going next week. Anyone have any tips or ideas? |

St. Maarten's -- What to do?
USguy,
My wife Deborah and I have been to St. Maarten twice. Both times it was an enjoyable visit, with my wife wanted to emphasize the French side of the island. All in all, you did receive some very good and hopefully beneficial suggestions from others on this newsgroup. Therefore, there was no point in me adding my 2-cents to this post at the time. However, now that you're supposedly back, what do your think? What did you do? Was any of the advice and suggestions given helpful? Incidentally, for a little background information, the Caribbean Island is ruled by two principalities; one French the other Dutch. While the Dutch initiated tourism in 1958, the French did not initiate tourism until 1985.

St. Maarten's -- What to do?
Hi John. Thanks for asking. We struggled with the whole idea of a
beach and decided that it wasn't the way to go until my son can appreciate adult nudity. At his tender age it would be just "gross" to him. What we did do was a mix of fun and frustration but I'll focus on the fun. My wife ended up bailing out on me and my son for the day so she could go back to the boat and enjoy a massage. Me and the boy hung out in the shopping area right off the boat. We bought a bunch of stuff including absinthe (which it turns out has none of the effects from the Van Gogh period) and hawaiian shirts. Being a guy I bought them without trying them on but after looking at the sizes. I got back on the boat and put them on only to discover that they were WAY too small. Lesson learned. Probably the best thing was the time I spent with my son at a little chinese restaurant that was frequented by locals. He thought it was pretty cool to spend time with Dad in a cheesy little carribean eatery where he could get chicken (curry) on a stick and dried plantain chips.

St. Maarten's -- What to do?
USguy,
Now that you're back, how was it? What did you do in reference to all the suggestions that responded to your original post? If you're anything like me, you may take a lot of pictures, which personally I would like to see. Likewise, for what it is worth, here are some pictures from our last cruise aboard the Disney Magic, with St. Maarten as one of the Ports of Call. Be sure to check our panoramic view as well.
