St. Maarten

Well here are some things I've found so far on St. Maarten. First off there are two sides to the island, a Dutch and French side, as you can see in the map below. We dock on the Dutch side in Great Bay.

Sites of the Island-

Loterie Farm - a 154-acre private nature preserve. Here they offer an adventure course. Mostly made up of many zip lines through the trees. It does also have some swings (not your typical playground swings...) and rope bridges. I'm not fully sure what the price is direct but from the cruise ship it is $84 a person. However I am going to e-mail them and see how much they charge. Here are a couple of pictures:

Fun Fun!!!

. . . And Barbados looks pretty nice as well!!! I know that I am jumping the gun, in terms of research [not a very organized approach], but I just had to post a few pictures of a couple of our destinations.

. . . I like the idea of each researching an area and then sharing with each other what we have learned. What do you think of that approach?

So this is St. Lucia!!!
