Last morning in SXM, watching the rain approach from Saba before the maddening crowds arrived. Wild surf The odd time I join hubby and take pictures of the planes landing and taking off, but never do anything with them. I�m making an exception here. Air France readying for take-off And there they go One of the favourite planes landing at SXM nowadays Why doesn�t WestJet use this plane when I fly to SXM?

boucharda Traveler Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 5,166 Likes: 4 Massachusetts	Great pics.... Re: pocket camera. I have a great small Canon pocket job but I find the shutter delay a bit problematic when shooting a plane zooming by me. I usually defer to my Canon S70 on burst

Can't wait.....but do hope that there will be a decent beach there when we arrive.
