Many of us spent nights there just hanging out, watching the dancers come out at 9, shopping at J&N jewelers…they are the BEST!
Sand gravity took over so we spent A LOT OF TIME just sitting at the Towers pool and on the few beaches I metioned above.

Many of our friends were at the Sunset Beach Bar the night it closed down for good…sad.
Saw a wild money run by us at the Towers pool….holy cow that got my heart pumping…HAHAHAHA

Crime: Saw many police on the French and Dutch side. Felt very safe. Left nothing in car, did NOT walk around with lots of jewelry on, careful leaving casinos etc… The Thursday before we left (10:30ish pm) in Maho we saw Cops with dogs and a few people being arrested but don’t know for what or why. Other than that, saw nothing! Also, saw many military people on the French side.

Count down: Less than 11 months and 2 weeks …..God help me…….
