TY..... I was all over and around it - LeMer, LeMans and others but couldn't quite come up with the right name.

In the very late eighties (Perhap 1990?) friends of ours, a professional wedding photographer and his wife, joined us for a week in St. Maarten. The Saturday before we headed down he shot a wedding and during the day discovered the couple was honeymooning at LeMeridian and would be on island at the same time as us. He agreed to meet them there and shoot a few photos on the beach to add an interesting footnote to their wedding album.

That was the first time we ever made it inside the resort proper - to that point we'd only lunched at the top of the hill by the pool which was pretty cool because we got to watch the helicopter land and take off a few times taking guests and sight-seers wherever. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
