Hello all! First off, I would like to thank this group ( that I have been stalking for a year) for all of its useful information. You all have been very helpful, in helping me plan our upcoming trip. The 3rd child ( and last) has left the nest, and we are now 5 years away from retirement, and our bucket list, of things to see, has begun.
Last September we got back from Barbados, and myself being the virtual traveler, and planner, woke up one day shorlty thereafter, and had the urge to search airfares for the following September. Behold!! $150 one way tickets to Sint Maarten from Portland, Or! Well that was a no brainer. Its amazing how its cheaper to fly from the northwest than just Miami.....But there was 3 islands I have always wanted to see, so the planning began, and after 8 months here is what we came up with.

Suggestions and helpful hints are encouraged for the little ins and outs. IE: cab drivers, small places to stop on the way to the ferry, can I buy you drink? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

Day 1:Flight to Sint Maarten
Day 2:Arrive in Sint Maarten. Staying at The Azure hotel, do the Maho beach thing. My friends want pictures. My B-day
Day 3: Ferry over to Anguilla for 8 hours ( i just need to see it)
Day 4: catch noon flight, on Liat, to Tortola. Catch cab across the island to west end ferry to Jost. Stay at Perfect Pineapple
Day 5: Vedge, drink, sleep, vedge, drink. Just take it in
Day 6: See day 5
Day 7: See as much of the island as possible
Day 8:Get up EARLY, catch ferry back over and get to the airport for flight to Anegada. Staying at Neptunes Treasure.
Day 9: See day 5 and 6
Day 10: See as much as possible, and its our Anniversary
Day 11: Flights from Anegada to SJU. Spend the night, eat at our favorite little hole in the wall in Isla Verde ( el Alambique)
Day 12: Cry as we leave to go back to the grind.

September is our favorite time to travel, because of slow season. Less going on, and things have calmed down a bit. Plus the gypsy loves the rainy season and the humidity...

Once again. Thank you all for your knowledge!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
