We landed about an hour ahead of this flight and we could actually see the 'weather' moving in as we flew nearer to the islands, and by the time we actually cleared the airport - about 1:00 - we were all like drowned rats. In all our many years and trips I have never seen this kind of weather/rain conditions. Yet by four o'clock it was beautiful again and just what you'd expect a St. Maarten afternoon to be. Well, aside from the road flooding and such but once the rain squall passed through it was gorgeous all over again. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
