Hi All

I am new to the forum, posting that is.
I have not been since Irma but everyday I enjoy what you all write.

My husband and I first visited the island in 2006 for our second wedding anniversary, by that time we had already done a lot of the other islands but there just was no 'magic feeling'.

From the first time I landed at Juliana I was in love, the approach was breathtaking. We would continue to visit every year three or four times per year till Irma.

At the time of our first visit I was still suffering from years of eating disorder and this would be the place where I learned to love myself. On our first visits to orient and cupecoy and baie rogue something about seeing nude people of all ages, shapes and all of the women looked gorgeous to me ....and I felt their confidence made them more beautiful....some "light" went on inside of me taking away my darkness and made me feel true beauty is just being yourself.

Sounds a little bit crazy but true--- had not had a Coca Cola in about ten years at that time ... sipping on one now 🤗
Now I have a love affair with food, learned to cook, love cooking.

We hope to visit again in November this year.
