Definitely not the lens we envisioned to see St. Martin through. I would have loved to see the island pre-Irma as there is a ways to go in recovery on the French side. We had planned to go twice in the past five years, but life intervened. However, the natural beauty and the friendliness of the people were a welcome sight this trip. That is what has us hooked to go back. Instead of having the view of "what was," we now get to see "what it will become" in future trips.
