St. Maarten, 2011 – Day #8
Saturday, October 1, 2011 – Our alarm went off at 8am this morning, so that we had ample time to finish packing our suitcase and gather up our carry-on items. We took our beach towels back to the towel stand and then headed to the front desk to check out. We hadn’t used the phone [...]
St. Maarten, 2011 – Day #7
Friday, September 30, 2011 – With today being our last official day in St. Maarten, we opted to get up a little earlier today and make the scenic drive around the perimeter of the island to Philipsburg. We were out of the room by 11am, and on our way. The drive was nice & relaxing, [...]
St. Maarten, 2011 – Day #6
Thursday, September 29, 2011 – The fresh air at night, mixed with the sound of the ocean, combined with a super comfortable bed has equaled some fantastic sleeps!

St. Maarten, 2011 – Day #5
Wednesday, September 28, 2011 – Today was a pretty relaxing day – we were up at our usual time of 10:30am, and had a light breakfast before leaving the hotel. We had planned to spend the day in Philipsburg, so shopping and beach time was on the agenda. There was a lot of construction going [...]
St. Maarten, 2011 – Day #4
Tuesday, September 27 2011 – We were up at 10:30am today for our usual breakfast before heading out to spend some more time at Baie Rouge on the French side of the island. Renting the car provided us with a lot of freedom, so we wanted to take full advantage of it. Since we drove [...]
St. Maarten, 2011 – Day #3
Monday, September 26, 2011 – Sleeping with the patio door open allowed the breeze from the ocean to fill the room, which resulted in each of us having some great sleeps these first few nights. We got out of bed around 10am and had a quick breakfast before we got ready and left to look [...]
St. Maarten, 2011 – Day #2
Sunday, September 25, 2011 – Julia was so excited for our first full day in St. Maarten that she was awake at 5:40am and watched the sun come up. She read her Kindle for a few hours until she managed to fall back asleep for a bit. We were both up at 9:30am and I [...]
St. Maarten, 2011 – Day #1, YYZ to SXM, via ATL
Saturday, September 24, 2011 – With a 6am flight out of Pearson International in Toronto, it was necessary for us to leave Kitchener-Waterloo early enough for us to be at the airport with enough time to get through security and to the gate, so Julia & I picked up my dad (who was gracious enough [...]
Cruise videos…
I was finally able to convert the videos I took with my Panasonic FZ-40 digital camera to a format that YouTube would accept. The videos have now been posted to my YouTube page – http://www.youtube.com/user/bntheredunnthat.
Next trip…
After contemplating a fall trip for the last week or so, Julia & I did our research this weekend and decided on St. Maarten. We understand the risks of vacationing during hurricane season, but we’re also willing to take that chance that nothing happens and the weather is beautiful. So, fingers crossed! If the trip [...]
