It's pretty interesting, how many people now are watching the Sunset cam, versus the port cam. Many more people watching Sunset.

How long ago was the first web cab installed?

SXM??? Wendell

I just love to watch the activity on that beach for some reason. Planes coming and going. People are so excited to be in St. Maarten. We still feel really lucky that we can afford to do this trip once a year and I sense that vibe from people there. We prefer to be at Marty's or Driftwood but this camera gives us the vacation feel that I need! I love to get my fix each morning, now that I know we will be able to make this trip, just watching/glancing while I do my paperwork.

Took a walk over to Sunset this afternoon. As stated....the place was more crowded than we ever have seen it!! Thousands of people there...and the new Sunset area is not open yet...but it is HUUUUUGGGGEEEE. The ''boardwalk'' there is beautiful...and really gives much more view of the sunset, and the planes. So far, there is another new bar at Sunset, and at least three times the tables that were there previously. Looks like another couple of nice restaurants and bars, will be soon open. The pool is interesting...and the area as a whole will look very nice...but can be a very crowded area, as seen today. This new area, must be costing Alegria some big big bucks!! but.....the unfinished shells of the buildings are still sitting untouched, as they have for years now. I don't get it.

We go over to Marty's Dream Bar on each visit and almost never see any guests in or around the place. Very few people, if any, using the pool. Pretty much just outside customers at the bar. Really strange.
