Don't Blow It

Warning Sign, Maho Beach, Sint Maarten
This warning sign is posted on Maho Beach, which sits at the end of the sole runway for Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM). 

Princess Juliana is internationally known as a terrific place for plane-spotting and for getting really close to arriving and departing aircraft.  Some people get a little too close and get blown into the rocky ocean beyond the runway.

A Room With A View


Great Bay, Sint Maarten, The Netherlands Antilles
This is a moment that highlights the relaxation and beauty to be found on a cruise vacation. After an exciting day touring the Island of Concordia (home to the Dutch Sint Maarten and French Saint-Martin), from the balcony of our cabin we watched the sun dip below the mountains on the Great Bay.
