St. Martin, post #3

This post contains pictures from Steve and Kate.  I believe it's a combination of both nice camera and iPhone.  It also gives just another person's perspective of vacation, which I think is fun to take in.  

Meeting up with our vacation buddies in Charlotte :)

Pulling into the gated villa - first look.

Waiting to get in for our first look.

Ah, that view never gets old :)

Nor does that!

First night out to dinner at one of the Lolo's.  We were not too impressed and honestly a bit shell shocked, I believe, in what we were seeing...

Thankfully after this particular night, we didn't quite have that sense again!

Enjoying our first view of ocean after breakfast the next morning.

Boy bonding at Pinel Island :)

Parasailing at Orient Bay.  The first is obviously Steve and Kate, but the rest are of Christian and myself.  It was stunning!  Really beautiful and fun to do together.

On the catamaran on our way out to Prickly Pear.

Aren't we sexy? :)

Taking the slide down the boat to the pretty water below to do some snorkeling!

Eating a very well put together lunch.  Yummy!  No sandwiches and pretzels here!!

Night life in Grand Case.

Last morning - doing breakfast again at Mr. Busby's to top off our vacation.

There was an actual restaurant in this airplane - crazy!

We stopped by Maho Beach on the way out of St. Martin.  It's a huge tourist attraction because the beach is literally yards away from the airport and the planes fly RIGHT over your head!  Christian and I stayed in the car a bit away from the beach (though we could still see Steve and Kate easily) and we even felt the vibration of the plane landing.  It was pretty amazing.  Steve took a video, which is below, that gives you a good feel of what it was like being there.

And chillin' on the ground because we were delayed 3 hours getting home.  :)
