Hi All - today is our first day back and I can see why once you go to St. Maartin once, you want to go back again! We had a WONDERFUL trip

. Our trip was perfect from the second we sat in our first class seats down. We stayed at the Belair and the minute we rounded the check in desk - my breath was taken away

. The view was absolutely stunning and the water was clear aqua blue. We then proceeded upstairs to our room and was again taken away with the beautiful view from the 30' balcony. I was sold on the island in that second. As you all suggested, we decided to rent a cute little convertable jeep and it was well worth it. We toured the island a couple of times. We took a snorkling trip on the Swaliga II, a fast boat and we were able to tour 3 island while seeing some awesome fish. It was one of my favorite parts. We also went to Orient Beach and had yummy frozen drinks brought to our chair - what can be better than that!

We decided to take a walk down the other end, and saw how comfortable everybody was walking around nude, so putting aside our very stuffy New England attitude, we decided to do the same and get naked. How fun! It felt great and now we can boast to all our friends that we did it.

We ate at some wonderful resturaunts, had a blast shopping and actually bought ourselves his and her matching watches to remind us of our wonderful trip every time we look at them.

As I said, this was our first trip and it couldn't have been any more romantic or perfect. I can't wait to go back. Thank you all for your help, suggestions and ideas. We brought back so many wonderful memories that will last a life time.
